[QUOTE="Fishing_Minigame, post: 6760474, member: 6798329"] I went to poke around the FR wiki just to see if there was any clarification on what made someone your patron deity: That seems to require both active worship before death, and toeing whatever the party line is. Having to petition also suggests that deities don't stop by and scoop up everyone who is aligned with them in practice but not belief. I'm in the camp that thinks that doesn't really jive with a whole bucket of good-aligned gods. So for my game I'm ruling that Kelemvor will chuck you on the wall for one of three reasons: 1) You've been actively hostile or otherwise alienated so many of the gods that none of them want to take you. Not even Asmodeus wants to take a chance with you. 2) You are True Neutral. Either by being so thoughtless and bland that you really don't lean towards anything, or by being the pants-on-head type who practices relentless Neutrality in all things. Either way, Big Kel doesn't know what to even do with you. 3) Oblivion sounds preferable to eternal life. If you don't meet any of these criteria, someone shows up to make you an offer. The INT 3, level 20 barbarian who has no idea if there's a Dog? Tempus still shows up in his monster truck full of vikings and offers you a ride. Otherwise, Ilmater takes it upon himself to aid as many lost, suffering souls as he can. As a plot suggestion, maybe the wall exists because the various afterlives are already full? Tyr would love to claim the casually just, but there's 400 million souls milling around and only 10,000 spots in his celestial palace. [/QUOTE]
