Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lady Starhawk" data-source="post: 444439" data-attributes="member: 441">Last week we just started a new homebrew fantasy game.  We were all given characters that we could customize, and we were given the backgrounds for the characters.  The DM wanted a group of characters to have ligit. reasons to do what they do and to have everyone have their own different motivations and adgendas.  We were encouraged to not share our characters pasts and adgendas with anybody else.Here comes my first problem...I am playing a cleric (A god much like Pelor).  A flaw I was given is "Servant of good" I asked the DM and he said think AD&D Paladin.   I don't know how to play that well.  The DM told me there's a difference between LAwful good and lawful stupid...but I'm not sure how to play this character well.  If anyone could think of some GOOD characters from movies, literature, etc that fit the "servant of good" (hinted at by DM to be lawful good) I would be very appreciative.The second problem is that I (player, not character) know one of the characters practices more "dark arts" like command undead, create undead, steal life, and such nasty things.  I am not sure how I should deal with this.  Should I ask the DM if I should be making perception rolls to notice, or if I should just try and have my character not notice, or do I confront him.  The main thing that he did in the last game was take an orc (we had just fought a band of them) that wasn't dead yet and did some steal life spell to heal himself and kill the stunned orc.  I'm not sure if that's an evil thing or not...I know alignments can get kinda touchy and flamey and stuff...but I'm seriously in a bind.  I'm out of my comfort zone and not sure what to do.HELP!!!Lady Starhawk</blockquote>
