It hadn't even occurred to me that we'd go in under color of being divine emissaries, rather than being open about this as a neighborly meet and greet, with possibilities of a defensive pact.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Ansalia's original character bio was that she was a divine emissary of a god, but then I changed it when Katina made the 'there are no gods' post in the old thread.<br/><br/>But then, after I changed her bio to be more druidic, I noticed some god-like entities in the custom campaign writeup, like the Ten Dragon Gods (and religious organizations such as 'The Church'), and that it was up to us where divine class powers came from, so I almost changed it back. I left it as is out of 1. simplicity 2. uncertainty and 3. a sense that Katina was either discouraging or prohibiting the paladin-as-an-agent-of-their-god<br/><br/>In any case, Alyx's organization is certainly a religious-like one (in whatever sense they are or can be in this world), as is Ansalia's (druidic) and Rygel's an angel. So they do certainly come across like 'divine emissaries', to whatever degree that concept exists in the custom campaign setting.
