[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 3894310, member: 141"] You make me laugh. To think that some DM's say they have trouble challenging their high level PCs. Way to knock it out of the park, Sep. I'm thinking about boundaries between different world-views. I mean, Visuit has her own meaning within Cheshnite myth and theology, but she obviously has to exist in an Oronthonian view of the world, too. All the Chesnite cabal do, otherwise they wouldn't be on the scene when the Oronthonian paradigm gets reshuffled. I'm thinking it is like the tension between law and goodness which is problematic in Oronthonian theology. This might have to do more with Oronthon's goodness and purity, so incandescent that the sun would cast a shadow in his presence. In this point of view, even the purest paladin is a dark, loathsome speck. I'm thinking sort of Johnathan Edwards here (although this isn't the place to discuss his theology, of course!). The paradox that even paladins deserve Hell is deeply rooted in the Oronthonian point of view. In other words, the "shadow side" of having a solar deity is that normal mortals just don't measure up- the "censure servants of the sun" ability merely reflects this and makes it tangible. Probably the other folks in the Chesnite cabal also reflect problems and anxieties of Oronthonian belief. Sibud is "why do we die", but also "will we someday be forgotten" and any number of other questions. Just some idle speculation- your stat-blocks are more of a stimulus to thought than most story hours. [/QUOTE]
