[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2529506, member: 35788"] Oh, crap. I did. Didn't even realize it ... but that's what I get for posting late at night. Dude - totally sorry. It was an honest mistake. Seriously, I wasn't even thinking about it. Trust me, from now on - Destiny is going to react to Gav as though he is just a young human - until such a time as it is figured out. Now that I feel like a schmuck as a DM ... lets move on to the Oathbreaker thing. Daz, I'll give you some options as to where you want to go with this Oathbreaker thing: A. Bigtime Quest - probably not resolved until the characters are high level. Realizing, of course, that this may never happen in-game and if it does it may be years down the road IRL. The example I am thinking of is something along the lines of the Oathbreaker is a renegade evil Bous who has stolen the [I]Shield of the Proto-Boes[/I]. For reference and statistics, see Shield of the Resolute, Complete Divine p. 101 - except that obviously it pertains to the Boes (not dwarves) and it isnot Moradin who is worshiped.
