[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5626542, member: 87792"] Let me guess. You're an atheist. You are asking questions from the top down like a scientist and expecting empiricism. Let me resurrect one of my Paladin PCs (RIP), convert him to the worship of the Raven Queen and ask him the same questions. She will do as She wills. It is not my place to question Her acts. Besides, it was a few seconds before She released me from the curse. Of course not. They have their own Gods to protect them. And some anti-magic charms. And wizards have limited strength, seeking to match their own powers against those of the Universe. Few wizards would last a minute. Thou shalt not put thy Queen to the test. Her aid is a blessing and not to be trifled with. I believe she will save me, but if she does not that is a test of my faith, not of her. There but for the grace of the Raven Queen go I. He's only a wizard. And if he does that he needs to be taught some [I]respect[/I]. Besides, why should I go to a wizard for advice? It was about as 'disassociated' from the big picture as Quantum Physics is from normal human thoughts. There was not one single thing in the Paladin's thoughts that was incompatable with roleplaying a paladin of The Raven Queen. If anything I'd say that the narration was perfect for a Paladin [I]whether or not the Paladin's explanation was true[/I] - and few Paladins other than those of Erathis or Vecna would care to investigate any of your questions. A Paladin is seldom an empirical modernist in terms of philosophical outlook. And I don't see the immersive problems if the worldview hangs together even if it's wrong. [/QUOTE]
