Message: <blockquote data-quote="Argyle King" data-source="post: 8127988" data-attributes="member: 58416">If it's impossible for the common person, that sounds like a great motivation for adventuring.Is there some defined measurement of how pious the general person is? From how it sounds, the gods in FR are generally vain and lazy -until they decide to actually get involved in something. It doesn't sound difficult to exploit that. At the risk of bringing up real-world controversy, it reminds me of travel bans based on religion:"Are you a follower of [insert faith]?"[whatever answer gets me the side of the wall I want to be on]Deathbed confessions aren't an unusual religious concept either.Lichdom doesn't seem all that bad, given the possible alternatives. I could start out as a common person, eventually adventuring to gain power because I have some vested interest in the wall, souls, and etc. Eventually, through study of the Wall, I learn enough about souls, soul containment, and related topics to create a phylactery. Then, I work with some devils and disgruntled angels to figure out a way to build a phylactery which serves as a supernatural soul conduit to tap into the energy of the wall. I spend the rest of eternity lowkey syphoning soul power out of the Wall and super-charging myself to become all-powerful. Meanwhile, I can plant a few rumors about a lich who knows how to circumvent the rules of the horrific Wall; I gain followers; and I eventually am worshipped as a god myself. Maybe I cut Asmodeus into the soul action, so as to gain a powerful ally in the soul-siphoning and trading business.</blockquote>
