Message: <blockquote data-quote="DonAdam" data-source="post: 1089005" data-attributes="member: 2446">It differs from character to character.For some, religion fits around the character concept, and so it is not central, eg our gnome trapsmith worshipper of Gond. This is kind of like "shopping" for a church that fits what the character already wants.For others, it is entirely formative. Our monk/wizard of Azuth is not a priest, but that approach to magic shapes his character a great deal.  It's different from the form-fitting idea because the character is benevolent rather than just being after the knowledge, so it radically affects the means by which he seeks to do good.And oddly enough, it is the druid of Mielikki in the group that walks the middle path. Unlike the monk, his ends already ally with those of his god, so there is an element of the "shopping" noted above. On the other hand, it affects the way he goes about things, unlike the gnome. His faith is not his central concern, but nor is it off of his radar. I think that makes sense for a druid.I like having the whole spectrum.</blockquote>
