Question: (Possible game spoiler?) What kinds of tests did Irenicus have to do in hell?

Originally posted by karlosovic: Q: Why can druids have scimitars ? A:Tradition. Druids are restricted to the weapons druids have always used. Any other weapons would violate their oaths. It so happens that they're allowed to use scimitars. I don't really understand it either, though perhaps it has something to do with the scimitar's curved blade, similar to the sickle, which was originally a farming tool. (Of course, with this line of logic, they should be allowed to use flails...) Q: What is the point of druids generally ? A:You mean in a party? Or in the Realms? In the Realms, they provide balance between good and evil, law and chaos, attempting to move everything towards harmonious balance. In parties they cast really cool spells and can summon elementals for use as tanks. Q: Why can only evil characters wear human flesh ? A: Would YOU wear human flesh?

If cannibalism is eating the flesh of your own species, can Dwarves, Gnomes, etc., eat human meat and get away with it? By extension, is it any more "Evil" for an Elf to wear the Human Flesh than it is for a Human to wear Ankheg Plate?

A: the (admittedly arbitrary) distinction stems from sentience and one's identification rather than from killing per se. Though they are not human, you will find that lots of people cannot stomach the idea of wearing cat or dog fur or the skin of horses, but will more than gladly take that mink coat of your hands.

As for cannibalism, I was under the impression that it is not universally taboo and rather it was more of a social prohibition.

It is more "evil" of an Elf to wear the Human Flesh as a current social norm because it required the killing of intelligent life in order to make. and doubly so because it was not obtained humanely (whatever that means) and, in part, requires the destruction of a canonically good creature in order to make.

Okay if that's the case, then one ought to be able to kill stupid life (ref. Neeber) and wear his flesh without penalty. In fact some sort of award might be given by the local townsfolk for helping sanitize the gene pool a bit.

Q: Why does Saemon Haevarion trick you and then appear again multiple times, expecting you to be nice to him?

[wally p]

A: because apparently all PCs have "I'm A Big Fat Sucker That Has To Trust Saemon For Plot Reasons" tattooed to their foreheads.

Possibly Saemon sailed the short ship to pirate school...

[Illumina Drathiran'ar]

I killed him twice, myself. I think we should be asking, "Who in their right mind is bringing him back to life?"

Your processor - so, if you don't like it, just go and throw your processing in the bin, and don't by another one until they're smart enough to leave Saemon dead.
