chargen - lightfoot halfling priest

Post by Nylo » Thu Apr 18, 2013 12:41 pm

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a houserule - chargen limits lightfoot halfling priests to the alignments LG, NG, CG, and LN. They are allowed to follow Tymora in addition to Yondalla, and Tymora also allows N and CN.

I think that since all alignments are valid for a non-cleric lighfoot halfling, and Tymora is a valid deity for them, opening CN for lightfoot priest is fair, TN isn't a valid alignment for Tymoran clerics.

I don't have my copy of Faiths and Pantheons handy, but the nj-pbem page on Tymora states TN is a valid alignment. http://www.nj-pbem.com/data/Gods/humangods/Tymora.htm

Right, nevermind TN. Source I was getting that from is incorrect.

Please remember that a bug is something which appears to not function as intended. If something works, but you wish it worked differently, then you should feel free to post a suggestion.

Yes, in this case the situation is that halfling priests are not currently allowed the TN alignment during character creation and that they are constrained to Tymora or Yondalla without an application. Demihuman Deities jibes with our current rules; it does mention TN priests of Yondalla. Faiths & Avatars does allow TN priests of Tymora, but Faiths and Pantheons does not. A staff member reviewed the alignments recently and settled on the more recent version (no TN).
