religious zealot? I agree with what you are saying, but I'm wondering if diversity
is taken care of when dealing with the different religions. I would not expect a
Shokai paladin to leave a lich alone just because it walked into a city. A Nepenthe
paladin, I might expect otherwise.
and a power above mortal law. I could see the change you suggest, but remember the lawful
ideal is one of order. Why wouldn't a lich believe in suc a thing.
