getting my first deity and alignment change questions
« on: September 19, 2006, 03:51:22 AM »
I've been thinking of getting a deity for my character Sonya Darsus, namely Lucinda mistress of the weave.

I was wondering however how to go about rp-ing it becoming one of the lucindites. do i need to become an aprentice to some one who is an afirmed lucindite? or is studying the faith enough. and how about alignments Do you need to be one of the 4 alignments as stated in the info about lucinda.(LG, NG, CG, LN) or is any alignments alright.

if I have to change my alignment how do I go about doing that both IC and OOC?

one more question. how can I adjust my summons acording to my deity once my character has changed. Is that cencer of arcane devotion thing enought?

You don't need to be of any specific alignment if you wish to start following Lucinda, those 4 alignment options are for Clerics only, and LG for Lucindite Paladins.

 The Censer will change your summons to those that Lucindite Clerics get if i'm not mistaken, but i believe you must get your deity field changed to Lucinda first.

 Alignment changes are something gradual and require much RP and effort, it's not something like one day your character waking up and radically change the way of life she has. It can be done, but takes time. :)

 To move toward any faith is easier when you don't already have one. Essentially it involves RP, generally with someone who is of that faith, typically a priest/priestess, but it can be someone else. We like to see entries in your character development thread regarding your character's interest and motivation behind such a move.
  Unless your character is going to become a cleric, you don't have to subscribe to the "one step away" rule regarding a character's alignment versus his/her deity's alignment. Though A CE follower of Toran would be kinda silly.
  Chosing a deity shouldn't take more than perhaps a RL week of RP. It's fairly simple, but we do want to avoid people switching deities frequently, as it makes no sense and creates work for the GM Team.

 IF this is necessary, and I don't really think it is in this case (but ultimately it's up to you), the first step is to prove to us that you the player can play and maintain your character's alignment. The next thing is to show, through Character Development thread entries, that your character is undergoing an internal change consistent with the target alignment, and that change should appear to occur over time. At that point, you may apply for an alignment shift, at which point you may be authorized to begin changing your RP toward the new alignment. A GM will work on changing your alignment score(s) appropriately to reflect the shift, if approved.

 Yes. Please tell me though that you're not joining a faith for the summons though.

 No it's not because of the summons. Sonya darsus is LN right now and the summons for that alignment are the same as the alignment of Lucinda the deity I'm thinking of having her worship.   The reason why I started to be interested in a deity is because:  1) Sonya is a sorceress and loves magic among other things. 2) Sonya is meditating when she can to get controle over her powers. thats how I RP she gets her powers.Not sure if it's the right way.  I was already thinking of talking about it to an afirmed lucindite about this ingame and IC.  I think I need ot do that before I can make my final descision about this.

Sounds fine.
  Lucinda's Affirmed are typically either mages (wizards, sorcerers) or level 0 priests (yes, level 0, meaning that every Lucindite cleric in-game has already passed that stage).
  Either an Affirmed or a cleric would probably serve your purposes.
