This isn't a critical issue but I was curious on everyone's take on this.
I am slowly building up the number of Planescape related documents I own and I'm slowly going through them. I just started reading the Forgotten Realm planar adventure "For Duty & Deity".
The premise is that a god that was depowered in FR's Time of Troubles is in need of rescue. While it didn't come up in that module (at least not in my initial glance-through), I was curious if people felt that a god that was "depowered" would be allowed to enter Sigil or not?
The "depowered" individual is godlike in a lot of ways, but not godlike in others. Would a god "depowered" by a higher force still be a god but without access to many of his/her powers (in which case, I'd lean towards still being barred from Sigil)?
Or would the individual be a non-god and be allowed in? Zadara the titan MIGHT have been a god-like entity at one point and she currently lives in the city.
If a former god can enter the city this way, it seems like this might be some sort of loophole that could be exploited (get into the city in depowerd form, avoid the Lady - who would probably want you in the dead book, and perform some ritual to regain your power once in the city - if that were somehow possible).
Or is it all futile? I.e. the moment one shifts to being a true god, he/she is automatically expelled from Sigil
I don't have a take on this but it seemed to raise some curious possibilities, so I thought I'd mention it
Mortals can become Gods, and they're clearly allowed in. Though there usually is more of a warning when they do become Gods. Godhood is a certain state of being, one that just happens to be incompatible with Lady of Pain. Having the experience of once being a God, doesn't mean that one is of that state of being.
