Re: Evil Evil and Divine relation are not the same...
A. A Cleric following Vorax (yes, yes.. I know) will cast divine relation on an Evil char who is not following any deity at all... what will my cleric learn? Nothing.. just that said evil char as a deity that (if any, I won't even know if he's a follower of any) is Neutral to Vorax.
B. But if a char is following, say Mist (*winks*), I will learn that said char's god is Enemy to my god but... said char is most probably good or neutral (Mist is a chaotic neutral deity, okay perhaps evil too... but I won't know either), but I won't know that for sure.
C. But of course if a char is following Corath, is dressing in black, wearing skull all over, speaking like a madman, etc... and I cast Divine relation (which I probably not even do, assuming outright that that char is evil... but then again I could be wrong), I will learn for sure that that char's deity is enemy to Vorax... and it won't take a genius to know (or at least think to know) that the char is Evil.
Now if I'm to travel with the first char (Evil, no deity), and if he is acting normal (i.e. not showing too much pleasure in killing, not killing for the love of it nor doing anything 'evil') I will never learn he is evil.. and might even become friend with it... only to have it blown in my face when said char will come out of the closest and blow the world up.
But you can be sure, my cleric will shun or be outright hostile to char C, refusing to help or travel with if he has a chance (provided I don't brought it behind bars... or challenged to death). And if I actually have to travel with (GM quest or anything), you can be sure I won't lift my little finger to help.
