[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 9577740, member: 15882"] Of course but Phar has less faith in foreign entities and questions their agenda. Certainly better than many other gods but it’s not like it’s an elf god and, to boot, Moradin is an outsider of this pantheon so it seems obvious that Moradin is meddling somewhat. I seem to remember Phar getting some sour looks when he suggested summoning a couple dretches to move those eggs. (So it seemed like good RP to do a tit for tat.) Phar wasn’t giving some demon prince an opportunity to influence the mortal plane which is potentially what Maur is doing for Moradin by telling the Inevitable it can do what it pleases. Phar doesn’t know to what lengths someone as devout as Maur needs to go to get the kind of power Maur wields or what promises he’s made. (Despite having a 20 in religion). My post admits as much that, what he likes about Maur, is all the things that make him an individual. Phar doesn’t want to see him ‘becoming something ‘pure’ like an Inevitable which, to Phar, has no personality or purpose other than its master. Typically, when I play a wizard, I see summoning as a tool and attach no moral code to it but, with Phar being CG, I’m exploring what he might think of summoning. Since the Dretch conversation, I’ve decided not to summon fiends out of principle. (That maybe Phar only suggested it knowing it would be refused) I’m exploring what it’s like to be CG when you have the power to shape reality. He’s an evoker to boot so I don’t even know how to portray that. So much easier to do if you’re CG or CE. He likes to use Chaos to burn away evil? He feels he can control elements of chaos to for the greater good? He believes in freedom and evocation is the metaphysical representation of that? Idk. Suggestions are welcome. What I do know is, since the dretch conversation, I’ve decided that WHAT you summon is important part of WHO you are. Phar would never summon an Inevitable just as he would never summon a fiend. Wow, this ended up way longer than I’d anticipated [/QUOTE]
