Message: <blockquote data-quote="Book of Vile Derp" data-source="post: 6126929" data-attributes="member: 6703080">To answer some questions that I've seen pop up. 1) I picked Trumpet  Archon, because originally the player himself had picked Trumpet Archon,  and it appeared incredibly humanoid and makes sense enough to me that  someone who has died could become one, especially a servant of a good  deity. And on top of that, the player spent about 2 days talking about  how awesome this trumpet archon he planned to summon was, and how it  made sense for the character, before changing it to the Merut an  Inevitable from the Lawful Neutral plane. Her deity is Chaotic Good. it  makes no sense to me, and it's pretty clear that it was just to get a  tiny firepower boost (a firepower boost i intend to bestow upon the TA  as well so that he won't be summoning a weaker things anyway). Now to  the one that said picking the slightly weaker option is role-killing her  character...I agree. If she would use a CR14 creature (TA) over a CR  15(MI), she may as well just use the spell to summon a bunny. *rolls  eyes* As for the people with relevant points, yes the player and the  character are deeply interested in getting the rest of the backstory  into the open, because I have refused to tell him outside the game,  telling him for a few sessions now, that there are still ways for it to  be resolved in game. (for anyone getting confused by pronouns, male  player, female character. And except for a few decisions with spells, he  roleplays her well enough for us to not make fun of him, and that's  quite an accomplishment). He is a unique player though, he roleplays and  powergames almost equally hard. He has reasons for most things the  character does, but on occasion it can be very clear that he saw an  awesome spell decided he wanted it and THEN came up with a  decent-at-best reason why it was still in character. [MENTION=36016]grogg[/MENTION], I really  like that idea. What I gave before was kind of just an example of how I  was thinking of doing it, not being set in stone yet, but while not  necessarily taking your idea word for word, i can definitely see  implementing part of it. I will likely have the deity say something  similar while she is in prayer.</blockquote>
