[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 6520704, member: 386"] A) I have no disagreement with this, but I don't see why, if everyone at the table agrees (or just the DM, depending on how you play) that it's actually the Raven Queen ending the Baleful Polymorph, why that isn't the case. Isn't that how most narration works? What I think is interesting is how that revelation/narration effects future decisions. B) This is interesting. In my game's setting, the power of a cleric's prayer doesn't come from a god or divinity; it comes from the will of the cleric. NPCs in the setting believe it's actually the Raven Queen (or whomever) answering the prayer, because the gods want people to believe that, but that's not the case. I don't spell this out for players, either - it's not well hidden but it could be considered a setting secret. Players could point to bonuses they get from what they believe is the deity's intervention, but they'd be wrong; those bonuses are coming from the PC's faith. I could do the same with another version of D&D. [/QUOTE]
