[QUOTE="bestone, post: 3302091, member: 48880"] (a little off topic, but slightly relevant) Its never been accepted in my gaming group, that evil clerics cant be healers, all and all it would really depend on the campaign/gods. I mean, you could argue that evil things are out there to harm, and not to help, but this isnt an entirely accurate statement. IF you consider the fact that EVIL doesnt mean pure evil (as there is lawful neutral and chaotic evil) then you know, there are varying degree's to such. You can have a evil tyrranical nation hell bent on the destruction of thier enemies, but value thier own. Or take a look at the knight class, you can even have honourable Evil people....... so like i was saying, we never take it that, just because conventional beliefs/understandings suggest as such, it doesnt mean that has to be so Our dm allows evil healers (and as with most things, as long as you come up with a good fluffly reason why you are such Now on to the true point, in saying all this, i cant entirely see why you couldnt have some reason why your raising of dead isnt an evil act It could be something as simple as you are from a barbaric culture that firmly believes that once you are dead your soul leaves your body, and the body is nothing but a left over wastefull byproduct. The culture doesnt have to be bad, and can even be good (tho i'd probably see it more neutral than good). But you can say, they dont abhore the use of the dead, to fight of thier enemies, infact they may believe that this gives the once dead person a use, and honours thier memory. For to rise up again and to be able to battle ones enemies once more, may be a great and heroic deed. *and please dont flame, i took all of 2 minutes to dredge that up, it was just a suggestion, if i were to do something l ike that myself, it would of course, be a lot more in detail, and a lot more plausible* Thus being said, choose cleric necro, and take libris mortis domains... mmmmm undeath and deathbound [/QUOTE]
