Hello,
Today's flamebite follows:
- Universe should preserve the balance (hopefully).
- Every time cleric prays to his/her God, they gain some energy which
then can spend somehow.
- From the balance standpoint, their God's energy level should decrease
- which is meaningless from the religious point of view - all the
history shows that the greater the number of some God's worshipers, the
stronger that God
- which means that energy levels of both God and worshiper increase as
they interact
- which throws the balance completely out of balance.
Okay, now my solution for that (I *DO* realize, not the only one :-):
- I should (well, at least I want) to preserve the balance.
- Energy levels of both God and worshiper _should_ increase, in game.
- to preserve the balance, I introduce anti-god - some entity which
exists on the material plane and is the exact opposite to the given God.
Now, the question is - 'what do you mean, opposite?' Well, that's a
tough question, so far I was able to formulate that as 'opposite
alignment' (which explains, BTW, why I pay so much attention to it) -
actually, this message is a request for new ideas.
Then,
- no obvious link between the god and anti-god exists.
For example, given that the God is good, the anti-god is evil, it's a
monster, and lives somewhere - this creates a funny possibility that the
good worshipers of that good God will announce a quest to eliminate that
evil abomination, and ...
... you continue.
