[QUOTE="Cintra, post: 2280611, member: 2448"] It sounds to me like your character is having a literal crisis of faith engineered by your DM. I'd suggest answering the following questions: 1) How good is the evidence that your goddess really is dead? 2) Is it really more likely that these visions are true, or that these visions are the false ones and your original vision was true? 3) Could they be about events that have not yet come to pass? 4) If you cease to believe in Sune and she does exist, will that mean you've fallen into error? 5) If you continue to believe in Sune (erroneously) and you continue to receive benefits which you continue to use in her name, can that be wrong? 6) Is there any way to get to the bottom of the questions, "who is trying to make me question my faith?" and "what is the truth behind these visions?" without having to assume your faith is wrong? Personally, I'd tend to continue to follow my goddess, regardless of what I learned, unless ALL of the following occur: 1) The actual source of my powers is PROVEN to be a different god who is truly worthy of my worship. 2) That different god actually wants me to change faith. If you are gaining benefits from a god who is opposed to you/Sune, then you should continue to worship Sune regardless. If you are gaining benefits from an ally of Sune, then that ally should not hold it against you that you stay loyal to Sune. Regardless, discovering what might be behind the visions is important. And if they are actually be about an attack on Sune that hasn't happened yet (or a metaphoric attack on her power), then your continued loyalty to Sune might be what allows you to investigate and ultimately prevent her destruction. (In other words, "Keep the faith!") [/QUOTE]
