[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7739552, member: 92239"] Personally, I think it comes down to context and perspective when using the source material. So in this thread, the OP provides a version of Lancelot that's clearly inside the bounds of the game system and intended to be used as a PC or NPC from the perspective of the character being mortal, but notable. Then the first comparison comes from Deities and Demigods. The second from Legends & Lore In the case of the first, well, the OP is not creating a deity or demigod. Simplistic answer, I know, but I think it pretty much rules out the comparison based on context. In the case of the second, the object was to place that version of Lancelot above the reach of most player characters so that no matter where you used it or in what campaign, it was special. The problem of course is that once you do that, you encourage player stat inflation because of the "I'm playing a character that's going to eventually be like Arthur" paradigm. Once that goes too far, you get people replying to the OP with "Only XX in this stat".. Critical thinking is really important when using supplements, and like most other threads, I'm championing some DM ownership in this regard when it comes to his or her campaign. On the "schtuping wives" thing.. depends on whether he's lawful good or neutral good and how you feel about oaths to the church relative to the era the character was created in. Since he was clearly romance era, catholic dominant, there's a strong tendency for the nobility to doink whomever they wanted, but if you were lawful good and following catholicism, no way it's bueno. Neutral good, - all is well. Especially in France. But you're still going to lose your social status once everyone knows you did it.. because again, it's in France. Doinking is only ok if everyone gossips about it but no one has proof. Be well KB [/QUOTE]
