[QUOTE="Hellefire, post: 3145487, member: 28129"] I know this has been covered here, I just can't find it right now. One of my players, who is a cleric worshipping Pelor, is having relatively evil thoughts (mainly over killing a companion NPC so that he can use the spiffy armor that NPC got last session). I told him he can do what he wants, but there will probably be issues with his god for such an act. He is considering changing to an evil god. I told him that he is having evil thoughts, if he carries them into evil acts, changing his alignment to evil is not a problem. I also told him that he would have to approach an evil religion/diety and go through some kind of ritual, but evil gods in general like stealing worshippers from good gods. So, questions are...what kind of ritual would be required from the evil diety? And if he killed the guy for the armor, would you allow him to go through an atonement to stay with Pelor? And how difficult? Since the issue is pure greed (not as heinous as pure evil, but I try to dissuade my players from raping rules just for personal gain) I think I would make the atonement pretty harsh (something like 'give that armor and the rest of your magic gear to the church'). Thoughts? Aaron [/QUOTE]
