If that "good" to one person is different from another person's own real life moral compass, It may give the feeling of [I]You are morally wrong in real life[/I] to the disagreeing person. You need to find out HOW you will be answering hard moral questions [B]in game[/B]. If the DM won't let you use wisdom checks or Knowledge: religion rolls to figure out "What would Heironeous Do?", you'll NEED one of these [B]Phylactery of Faithfulness[/B] [SIZE="1"]This item is a small box containing religious scripture affixed to a leather cord and tied around the forehead. There is no mundane way to determine what function this religious item performs until it is worn.
