Rystil: this comes from a guy who lied about being "normal"..... Feel free to pimp slap him if you feel like it.... :p (but then he might like it... :confused: )

He's already lost his paladinhood, what else has he got to lose?
I just can't understand why so many people are so disgustingly prejudiced against moral subjectivists. We are the most accepting of all philosophies, and we have our own set of morals which we have gained intrinsically by examining ourselves...

The level of offensiveness is high enough that I can't give a specific example of what it would be like. It would be something like, "Majour religious figure X is a liar and everyone who believes in the religion knows its a sham and is lying to you."

How do you know I meant that YOU are lying? Maybe your set of principles is the very ones I refer to... :D

He thinks, that by your recent posting, along with his, was aimed at him. Not at Crothian, I believe, who the original comment was aimed at....

If we go by the end of the campaign, she's "dead" already and residing with her deity. :cool:

But she'd be willing to come back for a good fight. One that would actually challenge her. None so far has really hurt her other than the fight with Gargauth, ex-lord of the nine, who, in desperation, possessed the tiefling fighter and charged the group. She was the closest. Each hit the other with crit hits and only she stood, bleeding like crazy. It'd been the most hurt she'd ever been in the campaign, being down to 23 hit points. She regretted having to kill her friend but her duty to kill the evil Gargauth took over at that point. And each did around 100+ points damage in one single attack of opportunity hit.
Only 100 damage? The FB would blush in embarrassment if he did that little ;)

Some people just can't get off their bloomin' high horse and listen to other people's POV without getting their hackles all in a bind. And, it seems, that Torm is one of them.... probably alot of it based on his rather unsettling background.

There's a difference between a fighter-class and a cleric. Clerics don't usually dish out that kind of damage in one melee hit. And they were lower level than what I listed at that point. We were probably in the mid-to upper 20s in level at that time. We certainly weren't in the 30s during this part of the campaign.

But the difference is that she can heal herself, he can't.

Whereas he won't die, no matter how much damage he takes ;)

No no no. You've got me all wrong. Don't take offense at anything I say - I don't take myself seriously enough for YOU to get upset about it. ;)
 

What I'm trying to get at is that philosophies are irrelevant to the truth of right and wrong - how you get there is interesting, but all roads lead to Rome. I believe murder is wrong. So, I think it is to safe to say, do you. It doesn't matter if we took totally perpendicular routes (philosophies) to get to that conclusion. Someone else may come along and say murder is right, and spout a bunch of nonsense. I say nonsense because even coming from completely different backgrounds, you and I would BOTH know that THEY don't even believe what they are saying.

Some things make sense. Some don't. Some people are willing to lie to themselves and others. Some aren't. Doesn't matter how you got there - there you are.

Nope. I'll listen to everyone, and I'll even respect it, when I believe that THEY believe what they are saying. Even if it is different from what I believe. Which, so far, it NEVER has been - it has just been worded differently. Imagine that. :D
