[QUOTE="The Amazing Dingo, post: 1830649, member: 23353"] I'm loving the feedback here, especially the input concerning Eberron (have yet to really dig into the book and the mechanics) and the idea put forth by Rel. My biggest concern was that the power being given by the evil god would be tainted with utter evil. Would it be possible for the evil god to given holy powers, spells, and energies to his priests and those powers not be detected as evil (if not the person, then at least the spells and energy)? In my campaign, to get around this, the BBEG (who is basically an outsider vying for god-hood but trapped on the Material Plane in a prison of ice) arranged for the destruction of a city about one hundred years ago. He also arranged to have all of the city's souls trapped in larvae at the same time. He's been using this larvae to power those clerics and paladins who have begun to worship him, believing it to be the LG god they are worshipping. The point: to weaken the church when he decides to make his final play for freedom from his prison. Anyway, that will be my way around that problem in terms of the powers given to those clerics as detecting as evil. [/QUOTE]
