Lucius Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 It's not just you *Assures you* Given the family histories of the characters, I find myself wondering what the artist's own relationship to his father is like. Among the characters it ranges from "Never met him" to "Never met him for a long time and after I did we tried to kill each other" to "Dad killed my little brother." As problematic as it is, Hayley's relationship with her father is probably the most healthy and functional in the group. If we knew Belkar's story it would probably be "Yeah I killed him."

Cygnia Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 And V could be the problematic father in zhir relationship with zhir spouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Eugene isn't even righteous at this point: he's self-righteous and selfish. (admittedly, I have some father issues so I may be a wee bit projecting here) D20 monkeys D&D Alligment Chart: http://www.d20monkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/2014-04-23-20140423.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trencher Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think the author wants to stretch the dnd alignment system to the max in every direction to tell his story. Problem is that as soon as you start thinking about the alignment system the whole thing falls apart. I sure hope he is not trying to deconstruct it.

Greywind Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Alignment is a good start as to where the character begins and characterization takes care of the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like every alignment using game I've ever played. One man's lawfull good is another man's true nuetral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run Lawfull Good as true neutral, then you will have issues when the judging comes in the afterlife. You will be juged according to the Alligment you actually show, rather then the one you claim to have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks it's because of his dedication to unfinished business with Xykon, but it's really because he's not able to enter an LG afterlife and does not consider entering the one that matches his real, rather than believed and professed, alignment.

It was confirmed that the Oath exists. And indeed that other people suffer from similar oaths and it is what prevents Eugene from going on. However, Roy was allowed inside because he died while doing something about the Oath. I mean he literally died fighting Xykon. Eugene Greenhilt was not allowed in because he handed it down to his children and then died of old age, while not doing anything about it.

Christopher Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 "My scrying perch packs a punch, but it can't see what a godess does not want seen." Why mention one godess? There should be more then 1 god blocking that sight ahead. Unless of course he knows that because he tried to spy scry on a Beauty Godess while in the shower. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
