Sorry to keep coming up with these but problem #2 is that you used up your only Smite for the day on Alire

[SBLOCK]used up your only Smite for the day on Alire

Yup, I know, so we will have to keep her bound until judgement can be passed (i.e. the next day). I am expecting her to not be tainted as a PC... If she is captured I can give a speech and (fail to) smite her and all will be good. She will have earned my trust and a little more trust to Abdiel's choice in companions. Assuming, of course, Melody is cooperative.... Here's to hoping.... Otherwise Mhrazhar is really going to ruin things... which of course I really do not want. A good thing is if things go as I am kind of hoping... Melody will have earned some of my respect and if anyone wants to go afte he and say she's tainted they will have to deal with me, for Nemesis has already passed judgement and that is all that matters. I will protect her from hunters and so on....[/SBLOCK]

Hmmm...Here's to hoping that someone convinces Mhrazhar to wait on judgment, since that thief may be gone by the next day

Keia, could you add Mhrazhar to the list of who can read your last post?

And FreeXenon, I guess it goes without saying but you can read it

Mhrazhar can wait... In the class description it is mentioned "show mercy to the innocent and none to the guilty" Destroying those who deserve it is very important to Mhrazhar. Doling out justice where judgment has been determined, and here, as far as I can tell, I do not know what Nemesis' judgement is and he does not wat to destroy someone that is innocent.

From what you said she might be able to hide from my Smite ability... My character is thinking that it is not so possible... Detection is one thing.. Smiting is another - unless I know otherwise. I will determine a specific course of action once she is subdued. So, if she Tainted and is able to 'hide' from smiting she will be safe for a while until I am able to ascertain otherwise.

Sneaky, Tricksy DM!

Your character does not know that she can hide from the Smite ability. He was lucky (or maybe metagame unlucky) to know the other part

Is suppose you are right... From metagame perspective they are very different abilities... As far as the rule as I understand them it is not possible to hide from this. Hmmm... Separation of Player and Character Knowlege and not metagaming...

Something like this would manifest IC as I gain experience in Smiting and Detecting I would think that knowing that it is possible to hide from detection that a delineation would have be made that Smiting is always a good way to find out or more reliable method of determining Nemsis' judgement. Is quite a bit more ineffecient due to the once a day thing....

However, this really depends on how good the training is. I found out from the first encounter that Alire was not Tainted even though swas was an accursed Valsian. Nemesis' judment was passed even though her specific status was not known (through detection).

I guess I am hoping as a character and as a player that this thought is correct. It will make for a great rolplaying moment... building tension and so on.... especially with the language barrier... [/sblock]

Interesting thoughts. It is certainly true that the ability to hide from Smite requires a higher level in Eldritch Infiltrator than the one that masks a faint aura of Taint.

I added Melody as well, thinking that if Mhrazhar can hear it and he's in front of her, that she can as well.

Aye, although since she can't understand High Praetorian and wasn't the one being directly addressed, it wasn't quite as crucial
