I do get the basic trappings of the setting, and I understand that it doesn't exactly promote a more challenging view of the nature of divinity much beyond the god/cleric relationship, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.I suppose it seems so obvious to me because my campaign is more Planescape driven, with multiple Prine worlds, Toril being one of them. Within that scope, the quirks of the FR afterlife and divine structure really stand out. I suppose I've sanded down the rough edges over the years to make it more compatible with everything else, and so my take on it is more flexible than that of others'.I'm just surprised to see so many folks shoot down the idea that the system in place, with the Wall of the Faithless, is flawed, and insisting that any character who doesn't adhere to that system is more fundamentally evil then the Faithful of the likes of Bane. And that players of such faithless characters are one note zealots who only want to see the whole thing torn down.</blockquote>
