[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7887795, member: 6906155"] Depends on which version of the multiverse you set you game in. There is no 5e rule: You must treat the planes as universal - it's suits WotC to set their 5e products in a shared multiverse, that's it. And if you do buy into the idea that "all D&D takes place in a shared multiverse" then you also have to accept that in 5e necromancy is not inherently evil, since the 5e rules do not make it so. In earlier editions, yes, the rules made necromancy inherently evil, and I have no problem with people using lore from earlier editions their game, but that doesn't make your version the "correct" version. So what? I cut my teeth on 1st edition, which did not. And I believe even in 2nd edition FR still used the "World Tree" cosmology, with the "Great Wheel" being a Greyhawk specific cosmology, and therefore existed within a separate multiverse. So what? If upsetting someone's sensibilities makes you evil that makes pretty much everyone evil. That depends upon which part of Eberron, you are in. The narrow minded religious fanatics of Thrane certainly despise necromancy, but being unpopular is not the same as being evil. [/QUOTE]
