[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3349526, member: 4134"] Well, Deneir's a goodly deity, isn't he? He wouldn't want his chosen crippled for life if he can't help it - he already showed that he was willing to sacrifice his youth for the faith. I remember reading a similar story, about some Deity requiring one of his followers to sacrifice his own son on an altar. The guy had put the boy down and was ready to plunge the knife down when his God told him he passed the test, that sacrificing his son wouldn't be necessary - the God only wanted to know what the man would do for his faith. I remember that being regarded as a good story by some. Isn't everyone always complaining that D&D combat is so unimaginative? I can remember several people pining for "swing from the chandelier" type of action, not the dumb standing around hitting each other with pointy bits of metal. But if someone comes along and writes about what high rolls in tumble, balance, jump and so on could look like, people complain. Some people just like to be negative :p Well, this is D&D. It's supposed to be ridiculously easy to get patched up perfectly with some prayer spells. Some restoration, regeneration, cure x wounds, heal, and you're as good as new. Why shouldn't those well-paid celebrety D&D characters get the same treatment? :p Pharaun (yes, I know, not a name for a moon elf - it's what you get from choosing a name out of the FRCS when you can't think of one yourself, and choose a drow name because the elven names sound lame: You get the drow equivalent of "john" or "frank" or "kevin" Seriously, My character was named Pharaun. A character in a campaign I DMed was named Pharaun, and another would have had the same name had I not told the player to choose another name. And, of course, one of the WotSQ characters is named Pharaun, too. I guess you couldn't call a Pharaun on a street in Menzoberranzan without 7 male drow turning their heads) is always willing to teach his bladesingers new tricks! [/QUOTE]
