Destiny's Tears OOC- Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part 2

Detect Corruption detects certain evil creatures like evil outsiders as well as mainly detecting things with a Taint score. You get a Taint score from being exposed to the Shadowtaint of Lara Kai or by destroying Arris. But...a Taint score can be slowly removed by meditating in a natural area of wilderness. So this might lead to a strange scenario where a totally evil Dragonlord meditates for a long time and removes his Taint so that he won't detect as strongly Tainted, but he plans on destroying Arris more ASAP...but wouldn't Mhrazhar still want him dead? Also, there are some people who get slightly Tainted but don't really mean it and then work off the Taint as soon as they can. In general, a Strong or Overwhelming aura of Taint can be construed as "Autokill Mode Activate!" but a Faint aura might leave something open for consideration. It is up to you though because there are many Avengers who are verging on becoming Hatesowers who will kill anything that walks and has even a Lingering Aura of Taint from being Tainted in the past, and then there are the Hatesowers themselves who slaughter every Valsian they see, even children who have never harmed Arris.

That is kind of what I was expecting...

Is there any way we could work in an ability like in the movie 'The Crow' to see every step along the path to Corruption so that I may pass judgment. Especially in your Dragon Lord meditating so that he can remove the taint score and then unleash his unholy spells across the land. Being able to do so would be horribly cinematic.

Very interesting...

I am thinking that Mhrazhar will find the afore mentioned Hatesowers an abomination and having rotted from the inside out. Corrupted and redemption is not possible as they have strayed far from the true path. They have lost touch with Arris and have been fully consumed by the wrathfull nature of Nemesis.

Maybe a custom feat that has smite as a prereq and uses a expends a Smite use to function? [/sblock]

Seeing the steps on the path to Corruption is already sort of implemented by Detect Corruption, which detects Faint, Moderate, and other strengths of Taint based on how Corrupted they are. If that isn't what you mean, and I bet it isn't, then please explain--haven't seen the movie

Yup, that's the general feeling among most Avengers about the Hatesowers.

"Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering…"

And the suffering sowed by the Hatesowers when they murder the Valsian children and feast on their blood only fuels the prejudice against Mojiin as bestial backwards evil folk who want to kill innocents among even the goodhearted Valsians...

Carrot... Carrot...
I am assuming that this is a place on Arris? What is its significance?

Dude, the crow rocks!! It stars Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son). Its a dark movie with lots of gun fights and action. The story is cool!

Here is a horribly simplified version of the movie (from memory): The main character, Eric, is brought back from dead to exact revenge on a Mob/Gang group for throwing him out of a window to his death and raping and killing his wife on the night before their wedding day. The Crow is a link to death and what gives him his incredible resilience to damage and so on. Anyhow...

We move to the last scene where they are have an epic rooftop sword fight on a stormy night. Eric disarms the villain and grabs his face... "I have something to give you. I do not want it anymore.. 30 hours of pain all at once." and the villain experiences the last agonizing 30 hours of his wife's life in the hospital in several seconds.

Actually what I am looking for is almost the opposite. I want to be able to touch them and watch their steps into Corruption (and taint score as they go) and see if their current status deserves mercy. In the case of the Dragon Lord reducing their taint score and with the intent of doing it again verses the Truly Redeemed Dragon Lord who takes Preserver levels to repair the damage.

And the suffering sowed by the Hatesowers when they murder the Valsian children and feast on their blood only fuels the prejudice against Mojiin as bestial backwards evil folk who want to kill innocents among even the goodhearted Valsians...

I do not have enough wrath to go around.

Lara Kai is an empire of several kingdoms and clans on Xarata where Larakese people live. It just so happens to have a Shadowtaint that can be detected by Avengers, but it is not related to Dragonlord destruction of Arris (though it detects the same).

I don't really like guns

In the case of the Dragon Lord reducing their taint score and with the intent of doing it again verses the Truly Redeemed Dragon Lord who takes Preserver levels to prepare the damage.

I think that is fair as a feat, although it would need to be unable to detect anything on a Dragonlord who has specifically eliminated all of the Taint--every last point of Taint score--and then waited for the Lingering Aura to fade because I have stated that once they do this, they are undetectable by Avengers as being Tainted.
