Well, my
Character Deletion idea has so far elicited no response from Ziroc, so I thought I'd deface the forums with some more semiunilateral ramblings.
EfU could benefit from indulgences.
Think about it: spend five minutes in Mordock's tower and you can go from pure good to pure evil. Monks can get booted from their order should they risk helping the Harper on level 12, or by attempting to infiltrate the Malars.
An easy solution for such alignment ailments is to allow the various temples of Undermountain to sell indulgences to those wishing to assure a place in the hereafter, or just to curry favor with a god or two. It's not much of a stretch to have
preferred vendors sell indulgences on behalf of various local temples. Hell, even a gnomish indulge-o-matic contraption would do the trick (if you don't like the historical baggage associated with indulgences you can refer to it as alms, bhiksha, collection plate, eleos, khums, kuppah, poor box, takuhatsu, tithes, tzedakah, zakat or one of those Salvation Army Santas).
Not only would this help address Chaos/Law and Evil/Good alignment management (Bard/Palladin/Blackguard anyone?) but it also would help temper the severe inflation which has plagued the Sword Coast ever since profuse amounts of gold began pouring out of Undermountain.
As long as places like Mordock's tower are around, indulgences will prove a better way to relieve adventurers of all that unsightly wealth than some (perhaps) more controversial ideas, such as charging for the teleport system; although, I must confess that both seem perfectly logical to me.
