Message: <blockquote data-quote="Igfig" data-source="post: 6735272" data-attributes="member: 74153">I've got a really weird situation in my Eberron campaign that I just don't know how to deal with. One of the PCs is an efreet (using a homebrew class derived from the MM entry), and due to his great personal power, he's convinced that he's some kind of god. Let's call him Frosty.The party has some ties to the Church of the Silver Flame, and Jaela Daran in particular; among other things, she saved Frosty's life and enabled him to transition from being a basic fire elemental to an efreet, using the power of the Silver Flame. (This turned Frosty's flames permanently silver-blue.)So, during a six-month bout of downtime between adventures, Frosty decided to become an acolyte of the Church... or as he'd put it, an apprentice to the Silver Flame. As in, he's studying how to correctly be a god.On the one hand, the Church is glad to have him serving their cause, and eager to instill their values in him. He could be a powerful champion. On the other hand, his service is clearly being offered only to advance his own interests, so he could very well turn on them if he changes his mind.Likewise, as an eleven-year-old girl, Jaela thinks Frosty is great: he's huge, he can fly, he can be really silly. They have tea parties sometimes. But putting aside her personal feelings—acting as the direct representative of her god on Eberron—she thinks... well, I really don't know.Is trying to become a god sacreligious? Or is it not worth worrying about, because it's pretty likely he can't do it? Of course, you can't tell Frosty that, because that would probably make him angry to be told it's impossible. How do you go about keeping a megalomaniacal efreet on your side and philosophy without directly addressing their problematic goals?So I'm kinda stuck on this. What do you think?</blockquote>
