Default Re: How to RP Diety Relationships w/ topsy-turvy Like vs dislike?

I don't think the team are saying there isn't a grey area....

My Misty cleric was desperate and I mean desperate to raise Dezza's Rofi paladin....

She wanted to do it because she knew it would totally throw him....That it would challenge all he believed in and make him question....In esence it would cause chaos in his life, his emotions and his beliefs.

Had she ever had the chance.....She would have raised him, taken the XP hit BUT also taken any other punishment Mist saw fit to give her for using her divine talents on one of Mist's enemies.

Most importantly though.....She would have only done it ONCE....Once would have been enough to achieve her goals.

I think what the team wishes to ensure doesn't happen is a complete fluffy bunny love fest where clerics constantly heal and raise those enemy or unfriendly with NO thought to how their God/Goddess would react. Where Paladin's don't comment and allow it to happen or use their divine powers to aid their enemies.

No one is saying you can never aid someone who is enemy or unfriendly....Just that your God/Goddess is ALWAYS watching and don't come crying to us if they react so THINK before you do it and accept that even if you think you do have a good RP reason you may still get 'punished' it just maybe that your punishment is less if your RP reason is good.
