[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9295736, member: 27385"] Who from our past might have been considered a heretic? Was Jesus considered a heretic? He about Galileo, or King Henry 8th at least before breaking from the church. These may be bigger names that split off or were proven right over time, but what about all those people who thought God was behind the Hale-Bop comet and killed themselves like 30 years ago? They had an idea that was proven false and most people thought them silly more than dangerous to the faith. I think playing a heretic could be fun with a good bad guy trying to foil you. I'm watching Shogun on TV right now and the Portuguese Bishops had the priest thrown in jail for disrupting their illegal trade with China. This is how the main character finds out about it and is able to prolong his life. There should be a BBEG who comes to believe that the PC is a threat and tries to get him to repent or have him killed after a while. There could be some sort of hit squad that is already or gets formed to stop the heretic. I might make it more a side thing going on rather than the main plot of the campaign. There should also be some sort of main secret that the church wants to have hidden and the PC knows or believes to be true. Since both groups can cast spells, it should not be just getting someone to cast a spell and ask the god what its the truth. The god might not care and thinks that any follower is a good follower or the point of contention is not that big a deal to deal with. [/QUOTE]
