[QUOTE="Micah Sweet, post: 8832809, member: 6747251"] Actually, it appears they've changed very little. I don't see anything directly contradicting the history, they just opened more options through the time-honored mention of "Outsiders". Even the religion stuff can be thought of as Public (Goldmoon) vs. Private (hidden machinations of other gods). Even the alignment removal, while I disagree with it, lacks any concrete examples of what you want; it just allows for the possibility of it. The reasons of the Cataclysm are mostly as they were, right up to the gods designated as Good participating in a global punishment. The Kingpriest stuff, and indeed the entire affair, is a combination of unreliable history and "from a certain point of view". I'm actually reasonably satisfied; I expected it to be much worse. The only thing that really disappoints me is the waste of digital ink because WotC didn't include that sidebar, or at least a confirmation of it, in one of the several hundred marketing statements they've made to make sure people buy the book. I'm glad you're happy, but it looks to me they fell more on my side than yours. [/QUOTE]
