[QUOTE="Brian Chalian, post: 1275955, member: 14246"] It's first mentioned in the beginning of chapter six. "In the temple of Pelor [NG] is an ancient tome.... [that handles background checks on new employees. Upon kissing the book,] Those who are evil in their hearts are blasted by holy power..." Wow, and I thought the old, "Don't call us, we'll call you" was harsh. It's also mentioned in the DMG. If an evil (1st level) guy who cheats on his taxes picks up a [i]+1 holy sword[/i], he dies with no saving throw. If his rotten bully of a son walks over and picks it up, he dies too. That's the way D&D physics work. I can imagine, centuries in the future, at a Faerunian science convention: "We have discovered, that when a sentient creature inflicts suffering on another being, the pineal gland releases E-cells. These cells flow through the bloodstream until they are removed by the liver. On their own they are mostly harmless. When they come in contact with radiation from the Upper planes, however, they form a lethal poison that kills the host. Curiously, only sentient being produce E-cells. Perhaps it is due to their highly developed brains. We're seeking a 1,000,000 gp grant to examine the phenomena further." [/QUOTE]
