[QUOTE="Funeris, post: 2106940, member: 22792"] Death is usually a TN deity in my games too. Just a part of the order. Although actually, right now the old God of Death is chaotic neutral though....perhaps to represent the "I didn't see that coming" aspect of it. As far as the ideas above on Death and stealing his scythe: perhaps the artifact is actually the focus. Meaning anyone that wields the scythe becomes death. So if your PCs pick it up, anyone attempting to using it will be drawn to the task at hand. They will probably lose themselves to the intelligent artifact's ego. But that could explain why death seems perfectly natural sometimes (TN) and chaotic at others (CN) to very possibly even Evil. It was wielded by different individuals at the different times and their personalities (read as: alignment) has shown through. Come to think of it, maybe there is more than one scythe. hmmm.... They grant "immortality" to each wielder...and once the scythe is passed on then the term of immortality ends. And the ex-wielder can return to whatever he/she was doing. So if your party captures the scythe, how were they to know it would release the 60th level LE Necromancer/Black Guard who was bound to the will of the blade? I mean seriously? >:) [/QUOTE]
