[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 551262, member: 4134"] After some thought, I concur, to a degree: good forsakers seek to purge the world of evil sorcery, while evil forsakers often hunt down all spellcasters. So a good forsaker might not destroy magic on sight, but he will nonetheless use every opportunity to show that you are stronger without magic, and probably will talk about that the rest of the time. Unless, of course, he shuns those people. The forsaker's quarrel with magic is more severe than the ranger's quarrel with his favored enemies: rangers learn how to fight them well because they fight them often, but that doesn't mean that they'll fight them all the time (see the example of the elf with humans as their favored enemy: there are evil humans and good ones, and that ranger might slay only the evil ones, and get along well with the other). The forsaker, on the other hand, loathes magic, and will not benefit from it. This will probably expand to indirect benefit, so won't let anyone who uses magic support him. While he may not turn on his party, he will in most cases have no party at all: he is a loner, or works with other forsakers, or people who use no magic (e.g. because they can't afford it), but not with your average party of magic-users and magic item wielders.
