Chitkree, remember that I don’t use flanking rules. However the first roll is the nat 20, so I’ll allow it.
Sorry forgot - I will put a not on Chitkrees sheet for the future - I got my games mixed up and a quick search showed flanking mentioned but apparently I should have read content better
No, Tikcha and then Chitkree scouted ahead and in that I tried to describe a longer distance. That room is quite far away. Sorry if I wasn’t being clearer. As for the distance, there might be a way to change or turn off that "5 ft" marker in the OTFB code, but I’m still learning how to use it properly and haven’t figured that out yet. Again, sorry for the confusion.
Fun facts - Thri-kreen could only transmit thoughts mentally to willing creature they can see.
It would mean if we were all Thri-kreen we would not be able to talk to person behind the door.
SO is the poll to destroy the alter, which is evil, the idol which is symbolic but not evil, or both?
I want to destroy the alter but dont care about the idol, unless some one has a portable hole
It's more like destroying an Aztec sacrificial alter where countless people were murdered.
Again, it's a fictional world where some gods are irrefutably evil AND can have a direct influence in the world. In D&D, it isn't just a belief system.
I just don't see the two worlds as analogous. They aren't comparable.
I think I will simply not participate epilogues where PCs are demolishing legacy and allow DM to auto pilot my PC
P.S. It is not just Budha. Century ago "Religion is the Opium of the People" were used as reason to demolish Christians churches, for example. Just because people in this real world believed religion as practice (not as belief system) to have evil "direct influence in the world".
In the real world, religion has only ever been a belief system. We don't even know if any Gods exist.
In D&D, characters know Gods exist. Gods can walk the land. They can scream in your head, or answer your appeals by granting you magic. They aren't just spoken about in apocryphal stories, you can come face to face with them. THAT is direct influence in the world.
Chitkree is not interested in destroying anything or killing anyone. He suggested having tht prisoners destroy something as a test of their religious affiliating I as a player think of that paladin can detect evil if is worth destroying
To be clear i do not think Augustine shared that he detected evil from the alter. What would have to happen to make an alter have an evil aura? Would the fact it is evil taint anything happening with it in Augustine's view?
