Paladin of Pyrtechon.

[Allorian]

I was thinking about creating a paladin of Pyrtechon then realized that paladins can only be lawful-good alignment...Clerics are out as well...Can warriors become champions of Pyrtechon on this server, or how else would one become a Champion of Pyrtechon?

[Acacea]

Uhh... Pyrtechon is Chaotic Evil... I'm not sure where you get "Potential Paladin" there, but the closest thing is his Unholy Champions, which are also CE and therefore completely off limits. (No Chaotic Evil PCs, ever.)

It's kind of hard to play a Champion (even just a warrior played as one) of Pyrtechon without ... heh... destroying everything in your path, so I'm not really sure what you're going for here as that is REALLY difficult to do on a restricted PvP, limited evil, and banned griefing pillaging mass murder burning etc.

[Allorian]

Isn't Pyrtechon a power hungry deity? I wanted to play a battle raging, scythe weidling, power hungry guy. I don't want him to be truely choatic but I found that on the Lore site this was the Alignment Requirement

Requirements:

Alignment: Any evil

I've been playing for quite some time...And I usually RP evil (I'm good at it). I realize the restrictions, but there are a couple worshippers of Corath, I am yet to meet a person who worships Pyrtechon..

[darkstorme]

Well, to be fair, Pyrtechon's doctrine doesn't lend itself well to the server mechanics:

Consign Layonara and all of its attendant races to oblivion. Do not preserve; preservation is not the way of Pyrtechon. Only in the purity of absolute destruction can the world be cleansed.

It's hard to RP that, given that PvP is strictly limited, and property damage is frowned upon.

[Acacea]

I didn't say one couldn't worship Pyrtechon--it is difficult, yes, because his dogma does not mesh well with how players need to conduct themselves on Layonara. They certainly don't need to be nice, and they can definitely be evil, but it is a careful evil so that it doesn't get out of hand and turn to player griefing. Pyrtechon, as quoted above by darkstorme, is a huge destructive force whose dogma states to consign all of the land and its races into oblivion.

But I wasn't really talking about any-old worshipper (who don't really have alignment restrictions other than the common sense ones)...you said you wanted to create a paladin of Pyrtechon, which you have to admit causes a bad knee jerk reaction of a stereotypical paladin worshipping Destruction.


The Unholy Champions are, as I said, Chaotic Evil, because all Champions of any kind, need to be the same alignment as their deities, and the only Unholy ones we have at the moment are CE. They replace the Blackguards. Yes, I think some LE ones would be nice. No, we don't have them right now. Champions of Pyrtechon = CE, because they are the champions of Destruction.

A fighter can of course always consider himself a champion of the deity, or perhaps find a place in some new sect as one. But that was answering your question specifically on the Class.

[Pankoki]

The LORE information is incorrect, it seems that the information from Blackguard was simply copy pasted. Our Champions MUST follow the same alignment as their deities. There is no playing around with that, so No, you wont be able to make a Champion of Pyrtechon in this server because it means that they need to be Chaotic Evil, which is an NPC alignment.  

[Filatus]

It all really comes down to the fact that there are only five deities in Layo with paladin orders, Toran, Vorax, Rorifein, Lucinda and Aeridin.

There was an earlier discussion about paladins of Az'zata. And the final word on that was that there won't be any new paladin orders.

So, if you want to play a paladin, you'll be restricted to choosing between those deities.

Edit:  And yeah, champions of Pyrtechon or Corath are not playable.

The closest thing would be a fighter/cleric.

[Allorian]

Alright. Thanks everyone. I've decided to take my character another route.

Allorian,

If you are really keen on Pyrtechon and meet he prereq's for CN, simply make a barbarian or fighter, or whatever else pleases you.

If you want some guidance try doing a search on Dezza's old char (and sadly missed), Massanissa.
I'm sure he posted a bio on the development forums.  He was a fantastic PC and an abosolute hoot to RP with.  

Check it out for ideas.

Cheers,

Its fine; I read through the dogma of Vorax and found you can have a good character who appreciates the same values..Except not as sadastic. I mainly wanted a Devout warrior (paladin/champ) who trained heavily with his weapon and sees combat as a means to solve disputes. Basically the polar opposite of my current character.. With Vorax this can be done..Plus under Vorax I can choose to become a Paladin something I cannot under Pyr.
