[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8413113, member: 7032025"] No, I do not "know" this, I already thought that WD-DH was the worst adventure for 5e, but this drives the nail in the coffin. Moreover, it's only an adventure, and a stupid one at that, whereas MToF clearly states that mortals can only enter contract for their own souls, not others, even their own children. IMHO, the threat is not binding, the Cassalanters are just stupid enough to believe it is (although of course, their children might die). Moreover, you mistake how devils work. They con only claim evil souls, the aim of the contract is to have you commit evil acts so that your soul is forfeit, and devils are interested in powerful souls, you do not see them offering meals in soup kitchen in exchange for souls. There might be a few non evil souls here and there in the Soul Coins, but as others pointed out, you can use the coin itself to know this. There is no need for this. There are easy ways like using all the charges for queries that will release the soul to whatever plane they are destined to: "A freed soul travels to the realm of the god it served or the outer plane most closely tied to its alignment (DM’s choice)." Yes, it's corrupting to use a soul to power a war machine, but if it's an evil one, it might be better for it than serve devils for all eternity or become a devil anyway, and it's just one casualty compared to the scale of the Blood War. And if you free all other souls that you encounter, or redeem Zariel, well... [/QUOTE]
