St. Cuthbert is sort of the patron deity of Lawful Stupid

What makes you say that?

 

[Dark Dragon]

I don't understand why so many people think there needs to actually be *rules* for this sort of thing. Miko there is clearly at -3128 HP (or other severely low number) and yet she gets her last words cause its dramatic.

While I agree on that one, a rules lawyer wouldn't: as long as a PC can speak, he is not unconcious and thus may be able to act, i.e. cast spells (unless not otherwise being disabled).
That's why I was wondering. /offtopic

Hm, if Miko was at -3128 hp, she maybe was a deathless Frenzied Berserker?! And her frenzy just elapsed...

 

[RangerWickett]

I didn't miss it - it just offends me. Redemption and forgiveness offend me. Were it within my purview I would certainly deny her peace, redemption and forgiveness. These things are tossed about so lightly, so easily as to make them trivial. Too few people try to get things right the first time, knowing that peace, redemption and forgiveness are as cheep as a can of Pepsi.

Damn her and the rest to hell for their failures.

I forgive you for being so grumpy.

If I were an admin, I would damn you forever to banishment for your failure at spelling the word "cheap."

What and the huh now? Lawful Stupid is more like the paladin I played with who told the bad guys about the the good guys' secret plan because he "wasn't sure they were bad guys yet, and as Lawful Good he should be cooperative with people unless he knows they're enemies, they deserve not to be lied to." Lawful Stupid is donating all of your gold to the poor, because you're charitable and such, and then letting a Red Dragon kill thousands of innocent people because you couldn't afford Fire Resistance for your buckler.

Lawful Stupid is a function of people who don't get Lawful Good but are trying to act like they're Lawful Good. Cuthbert is Lawful Neutral, and thus does not qualify. He's not the type that feels sorry for a beggar and gives him gold; he's the type that beheads the beggar in public because the beggar was stealing bread.

And then an LG type arrives and behead Cuthbert in public because Cuthbert was proving by his wanton murders that he was a menace to society.

Oh, that's how he became a saint; he was martyred! Makes me wonder about the core beliefs article in Dragon...

Would that be first-degree martyr?

Isn't it possible that Miko saves Roy?
