    Hi. I've been thinking. Doesn't it occur to you guys that there should be a "Protection from Good" Spell, for the evil characters? It doesn't make much sense that you have one without the other. And what about a "Protection from Neutrality" spell? By all accounts, it's just strange. Any thoughts you guys?

    That's a good idea...since you suggested it, I think you should be the one who makes it. I would, but I have an items pack to write scripts for. :bang:

    Oh, that reminds me...make sure that good characters can't cast a "Protection From Good" spell...we wouldn't want anyone to be protected from themselves! :shake: :grin: :rolling:

    Yeah, that's a fact! It's a big mistake the lack of these kinda spells. Although there are a few spells wich are against Good characters, there are much more of those that affect Evil ones (like Holy Smite...so why not Unholy Smite???)! Can you imamige casting Unholy Smite against those paladins (those with illusions of monsters upon them) in Windspear Hills? Great, huh!

    [​IMG] Isn't it true that the game isnt very well suited for evil characters? I mean if you play an evil party you would want a low rep all of the time, but that gives few or no advantages. I visited the temple of Talos with my evil party to meet some evil friends but there was no fun there at all.

    Protection from Neutrality, if it existed, would be an odd spell. I mean, you see Protection from Fire and Protection from Cold. But is there a Protection from Reasonably Comfortable Temperatures?

    *sigh* There is Unholy Blight, which is the evil Holy Smite. Which, curiously, good Clerics may cast.

    Indeed, the game is not suited well for Evil characters. I believe they gain less experience with evil choices. I don't mind that. I wouldn't want some 10-year-old playing SoA and deciding that the life of evil is better than being a decent person.

    well, the game can't be friggin' perfect. I mean, it's a game. One thing that I wish they would do is make a Baldur's Gate 3. Perhaps you play you son from BG2 that you made with you romantic interest. Of course there would be as many racial choices I spose though.

    Heh heh. I like that. Protection from Reasonably Comfortable Temperatures. But seriously, there is a Protection from Neutrality spell in the DM Handbook I'm working from. But I am not all too good at making spells, so I can't really make them myself...
