Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Pendragon" data-source="post: 2531812" data-attributes="member: 707">In your campaign, this kind of thinking might hold up.  Usually in my campaigns, most of the forces of Heaven are already occupied with the Ultimate Evil, which is why the heroes need to fight the Slightly Less Ultimate Evil.  In other words, the angels are holding back Morgoth while the heroes deal with Sauron.  And even if they weren't, the Celestial Host are not always of one mind.  Just like the Church of Pelor might have a loving, beneficial priesthood in general doesn't preclude that one crackpot inquisitor who sees the need to burn heretics in holy fire...even the most minor and sympathetic of heretics.I definitely agree that it's silly, but I disagree that it's sillier than the stupidity of adventurers herding pigs down dungeon corridors to explode any traps they come across, or fishing with ropes tied around pigs to lure out monsters.As I mentioned in an earlier post, my first impulse is to say "guys, this is stupid, please cut out the ridiculous pig antics."  But if that doesn't work, then I'm more than willing to match their silliness with silliness of my own to put a stop to it.  Or play with celestials as bad guys, whichever the players prefer. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />There are consequences for the rogue who swindles merchants (I've never had one in my campaign, actually, but I have a good idea what kind of consequences there'd be.)  And there must be consequences for the pig herder too.  Of course, I probably wouldn't use the God of Trade against that rogue, so perhaps you do have a point.  Perhaps a group of crazy, Neutral-Evil druids is what's called for.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
