Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yair" data-source="post: 1827024" data-attributes="member: 10913">Strahd asked me to take care of the rule-details, so I didn't go into all of that. But of course you are right. I'll be posting his character today.Personally I don't have a problem with anyone playing a Jew, including misprotraying them (this is only a game) but I am not observant. If it would trouble you, however, then perhaps it is not a good idea?As far as this game is concerned, I am willing to allow a lot of slack. The eastern church was generally much more tolerant of jews than in the west, and it may be that they are not prosecuted at all locally at this time if this suits the player. Or maybe pogroms are the weekly enterteinment. I'll go with whatever works for the player and character.As far as wizardry is concerned - again, this can certainly be stretched. It may be that goyim [non-jews] can do whatever they like, and even that a jew may benefit from it if he doesn't request it (like a goy can light fire in Shabat). It is also possible that he is simply non-observant; while it is true jews were pretty observant, there were certainly individual exceptions.BTW, the book that talks about judaism in Mythic Europe is Kabbalah: Mythic Judaism, and is damn fine one. I'm afraid anyone versed in it will know more about judaism then me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> I don't want to include its rules material, generally speaking, but it can provide excellent background for those interested.I would find depicting jeduaism as diabolism distasteful. Anything beyond that I'm willing to leave to player interpertations and desires. It's a game. If anyone feels a jew character may be a problem, however, now is definitely the right time to say so.</blockquote>
