[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 2722912, member: 1264"] Keep in mind that "unfair" may not even come into play. It's pretty easy to come up with a scenario where in-game circumstances beyond the DM's control may put the player in such a situation. For example, what if the party is heading for a TPK, and the only one left standing is the VoP character. Should he let the hordes of hell be unleashed upon the world? Or should he pick up the Sacred Key (which had been carried by another party member) and close the portal? In a situation such as this, it's essentially up to the VoP character to judge what the will of his god would be. If something like that came up in a game I was running, and the player chose to give up his VoP in exchange for saving the world, I would make damn sure his character would be rewarded for that action. (I would probably consult with the player and see whether he wants the VoP to be reinstated, or whether he'd want the character to take a different direction.) [/QUOTE]
