I'd only have guesses as to why it was denied. The word Euro is a pretty common RL prefix on events or people Gnana - the way I'm pronouncing it in my head it sounds a lot like Ghana...which is another place in real life, not to mention it looks as close as you can get without it being Ghana. Amerex...

I agree. I don't see a reason why those two concepts are mutually exclusive. Obviously an evil parading his evil in a murderous spree while decked out as a paladin, is a faith knightmare (hahhah) - the payoff of a good wearing an evil's symbol is much more dynamic...most evil deities don't revel in ...

Generally I believe the only acceptable grounds for someone wearing a faith item outside of a faith are if the Faith manager or High priest allows it. Anything else would involve faithful getting icly angry and looking for ways to reclaim said items either through negotiation, threats, bribery or v...

If it's within your pantheon (even if it's not, it just makes a whole lot less sense), i see no reason to restrict what a character wears. There are 40 plus deities, not including demigods, in the faerunian (human) pantheon. Any human, spare the most devout of diametrically opposed faiths, are entir...

In -722 orcs and drow played off each other in attacking the elves of Yrlaphon (opportunity alliance) During the ridiculously long cormanthor battles the drow of the Northwest forest and the main occupying orcish forces held off elves for freakin ever (alliance of need) --------- Yes, technically an...

That's kind of the kicker, orcs have all the advantage above ground. The drow would be at a /crippling/ disadvantage if they tried to put the orcs into submission by force. But i agree with you, drow mentality would mean they'd need to be top dog...I don't think the orcs would have too big of a prob...

I agree with Ooma As a general rule, inherently evil races don't get along unless they're forced too...from what I've read, this typically involves an immensely powerful evil entity that unites them (by conquest or threat of conquest). The trick to getting evil races to get along, is providing the i...

I love the idea, but as Amalia pointed out - i think it'd end up being a chore

i think the point allocation - level/skill based system idea that's been floating around would do wonders in bridging those "era gaps" and by bridging, i mean, creating a new era Right now, team ups are about the only way to come close. My advice, til a new era (and even then) - is to avoi...

Or the listen allows to hear the whispered tell! OooOoOoOoo

I like the change.

I can't attest for anyone else's use of the term, but I got it from a mud called Gemstone IV many years ago. It wasn't universally used or anything, but the phrase rubbed off on me and I like the way that it sounds. Reminds me of the term "long hair" from back in the day. The way I think o...

I use the term long ear all the time because it sounds phonetically better, imo, than the alternatives. While they may not have big floppy donkey ears, like in wow - they do have elongated ears...and since that is typically their defining feature to a human, that's what my PC's focus on. Pointy ears...

Any chance the idea would be more receptive with the concept of the character being wed or bound "off screen" to a npc that would never come into play? And then the chasity req would still be met for that paladin/squire from the ooc perspective, and allow the potential for someone to bring...

I think the main question is, why such a large change from the forgotten realms setting?

I agree with Lukon. As far as I've seen there is nothing saying paladins practice celibacy as a class requirement or feature. The way I understand it, is that the practice is a choice to demonstrate how devote one is - that some of the more devout individuals and orders put an emphasis on. When you ...

That kind of sounds like a "killin' stuff" trade to me. But I think the idea is valid. I'd call it profession "trapper". Just where you could use a newly coded skill to get an x pelt, and turn it into a trapper guy and get a couple silver for it. Level of the skill determines suc...

Nearly every chaotic inclined religion in faerun is darn near impossible to figure out any sense of leadership or cooperation. At this faith level it's actually encouraged by the deities edicts to be free thinking, independent, self serving (alignment pending)...yadda yadda yadda But that's part of ...

A prerequisite for Eliminster getting to where he is today, was sharing a bed with a god. Once you do that, you're pretty much the authority of your religion - regardless of class :) I guess that leads to the question - should higher ranked faith members be "turned into" priests? Nah, but ...

I'm basing this off the assumption that a god grants favor based on an individuals actions to furthering the gods agenda and becoming closer through faith to that god. As players we're all capable of looking things up online about the god, or finding through guess and test what actions grant favor. ...

I /love/ this idea, though only with wisdom...and only with "favor" It would be a coded reason as to why priests (who typically have wisdom as their primary) inherently are most favored by their god more so than other followers...usually I'd just say "they get divine spells, of course...
