[QUOTE="EP, post: 3688047, member: 41744"] That's something to think about. How to Cyric, Bane, Shar, and the others actually present themselves to their followers. What we read is the "good" view from on high, looking down at these religions with disdain, but it doesn't seem likely that Bane's clerics preach to the masses the same way others speak of them. Perhaps that's where the answer to this predicament lies. It's quite possible many followers, even with their access to the planes, are given a dubious story leaving them to believe that following evil gods is the way to go. And if access to the planes is given to them by the evil gods themselves, then how can you actually trust what you see? The average commoner does not have access to such knowledge until after they have attained levels and studied, so if they study as an evil cleric, chances are their knowledge is a bit forfeit.
