In Reply to: All answers about recent Maran stuff within.... posted by Shokai(IMM) on August 8, 2000 at 14:55:16:

suppose I have an anti paladin
I role play somewhat ( not exacly awesome ) at RPing.
That I wish to give up my evil ways and become a paladin?
would that happen?
if that does happen?
what would happen to my skills? and spell?

> Yes there is a catch. The catch is quite simply the fact that most things, even within something as strict as the whole concept of Shok's religion (which albiet seems pretty cut and dried to me) are feasabile if you have the rp skill to pull it off. Now on to the answer section:

> nightgaunts?

> Can a maran conjie use a nightgaunt? Maybe. It all depends on who they're using it on, why they're using it, how they justify it..and how reluctant (or not) they are to use it, as well as what if any actions they take after calling it. Can a conjie use a mephit? I'll leave you to answer that question on your own. Can a conjie use a devil or demon? I'll refrain from laughing if I see a maran conjie with one or the other.

> evil gear?

> I really don't want to play gear nazi with my followers, but have in the past and will in the future. Can you wear an evil item? Dunno...can you convince me with roleplay that there's a reason other than just 'power'? Let's once again go to my hypothetical 'cloak of a storm giant hide' we'll even give it hypothetical stats:

> cloak of storm giant hide
> 11/11/11/11
> mat: skin
> weight:10
> take neck
> para -5
> spells -5
> str 2
> dex 2
> hp 30
> mana 30
> dam 3
> grants resist_drowning

> pretty potent item, eh? Now, since anyone can wear it...and it doesn't have a red aura, am I going to go ballistic if I see a maran wearing it? Yep. Why? Well, think of it this way, how many storm giants would see a Maran wearing this and suddenly feel that Shokai doesn't care about their race? In a true roleplaying sense, merely wearing this garment would do far more damage to goods than anything the wearer could do to evil.
> The same can be said about other things of evil, or at least non_good nature.

> Hopefully this will put to bed the forum questions of late about Marans.
