[QUOTE="The Dungeon Nazi, post: 200704, member: 4520"] Just to clarify -- there are rules for 'the faithless' that I'm putting into play, so he can do whatever he wants. I'm not going to force him into choosing a patron diety until those rules come into play and he wants to get raised. It just bothered me because of why he chose that route for his character -- not even necessarily for his own religious beliefs, but because he was told that most characters have patron dieties. It set off an alarm or something in his head that said, "Ooh! I gotta be different than all those people!" Instead of rolling up a solid character and making a reputation for himself throughout the course of the actions he takes, and the combat he engages in, and the adventures he takes part in, he's got to have all these off-the-wall character hooks to stand out and be distinguished and legendary without having to work for it (it's the same deal with the minotaur). So yes, I'm letting him do what he wants with his PC in this respect, but I'm not bending the rules down the road to compensate for his character's death. [/QUOTE]
