It seems fitting than a world ruled by fickle, egotistical deities there would be a similarly unsavoury method of dealing with souls that feel they can ignore them.I think that hand-waving deities as a character in the Forgotten Realms is a disservice to the story being played; sure, you can do it, but you shouldn't point at the setting if there are consequences because of it. In Athas, no problem; in Ravenloft, ignoring deities is probably the sensible option half the times. But Forgotten Realms is pretty explicit about its powers being an important aspect of the setting, so it's entirely reasonable that the story expects characters to treat said powers as an important aspect of themselves, even if antagonistically.It's par for the course, I believe.</blockquote>
