[QUOTE="Otterscrubber, post: 5475377, member: 4588"] Interesting how this thread became one of whether or not divine punishment in the afterlife was fair or not. My only concern was with the 4e astral plane being home for the gods and their domains, and apparently due to the destruction of the Lattice of Heaven by the primordials, even the souls of devout followers of gods would fail to get to that gods domain. They become outsiders, stuck on an astral island within throwing distance of their eternal reward apparently at random, but never able to get there. And even their god is unable to invite them in. This isn't even punishment as outlined in previous posts. It's a complete failure on the particular deity to fulfill the promises to their followers that when they die, they will go to the right place. It's not because they didn't choose to worship, they did worship and now are still being punished. Sure, they're not cast to Baator, but after being stuck on an astral island and forced to scratch a living perhaps throwing your lot in with asmodeus and at least having a purpose again starts to look good. How depressing. [/QUOTE]
