[QUOTE="Numion, post: 2615935, member: 124"] I talked with the player, and he thought that the idea of lost power was what he's going with. Either his power was siphoned by his former partner in EEEVIL when his character had a change of heart and tried to go neutral, or that he was smacked down by a god for his insolence. I'm not too keen on the second idea, since I like my gods a little less 'hands on', as I've expressed in other threads :) I think that the former partner stealing his powers is worth pursuing. I could introduce him later as an arch-villain who's since become a lich, so he can have his vengeance. The vengeance angle might also be twisted by me so that his partner has since had a change of heart too - presenting a dilemma: will he still want revenge if his nemesis has spent years trying to make right the wrongs he's / they've (or she?) done? Another aspect of this is that he plans that his wizard type character has also found god now. He starts as a cleric, and aims for the Mystic Theurge PrC, so he'll combine his former arcane knowledge in service to a god. Or just hedging his bet, knowing he'll need cleric Mojo too to defeat his former partner. This is turning out really nice, methinks :D [/QUOTE]
