I miss the old one

What if the Deva was convincing the peasants to do something for the greater good. For example getting them to build him a fortress or castle to help them fight against a soon (or believed to be soon at least) Tanari invasion force? Which of course is led by the most capable leader the Deva itself?

I love to push the boundes of logic on things like this with "uptight" types either good or evil. You can make things seem out of the ordinary while actually still following a semi convaluted logic skeme that actually keeps them "acting like the boosk say".

For example I once had a Paladin as the enemy of a good aligned party. I did this by having on overzealous wide waundering Paladin that led an attack against a mostly peaceful goblin village. The local human village actually traded with the goblins and interestly enough the way it worked out was a short non decesive battle between the human village supporting the goblins and the Paladins basically mericenary army. They mostly believed in what the Paladin was preaching but the money was good as well.

So there you have it using unexpected opponents is a great way to encourage roleplaying and get the party thinking outside of the box. But you do have to be careful not to do it too much otherwise the players start to assume nothing is ever "normal" which has its own problems.

Actually I just had the idea- well I should explain first... Fidrikon helped me with this to mainly explain why she acts the way she does- imagine an Erinyes, that managed to somehow ascend again and survive, and serves now as a tout and fighter for Sigils citizens- she has a distaste for most of her kind (doesn't seem to mind Tieflings though) and is generally caring and protective, how bout that idea eh? well gatta go to my next class!

I personaly love using the uber goody toe shoes as enemies such as a church hell bent on eradicating fiendish interactions to the point of hunting down a good aligned tiefling and her party because of her fiendish heritage

Heh I completely agree- most stories or quests, either or, can be the most interesting, even without battles (barmy kick-in-the-door DnD players), as long as it has some sort of unusual conflict or NPCs that you can relate with...

Of course I'd go for the Tieflings- yes I am obsessed lol! but come on you can't say that you don't have a soft spot in yer heart for 'em too

ok maybe im mistaken cause fonikin and i were discussing the obsession of tieflings (not to mention his newest character... nerd!) and haveing a spot in the heart for them, but i was kinda reluctant to have to much sympathy for them cause i coulda sworn i read somthing saying they exiled and hated themselves for being different even before those around them did. am i insane or did i make it up?

It would be a slightly less yelleowed gith, with watered down featers. It would look like a holf gith, because if I remember, gith already have somewhat pointy ears

Actually if you think about it this is quiet the oxymoron forum. I miss the old ones so ill make a knew one? now how does that make sense i ask you? how indeed?
