Title: Change Cyrollalee's Dogma
Post by: Thomas_Not_very_wise on December 03, 2010, 12:25:30 AM
Her Dogma is very poor on the efu forums and represents nothing of her faith or her outlook.

This however, does!
QuoteDogma: Be generous in friendship, and welcome all friends into your home. Earn the trust of your neighbors and repay them with kindness. Guard fiercely the burrows in which you and your friends dwell, and keep a benignly watchful eye on the home of your neighbor. Never betray the trust of your host, break an oath, or violate the sanctity of another's home. Busy hands make a happy home, and things Grafted with love will serve you and others well.

<.< Much better suiting.

The one we got is this:

QuoteDogma: Be generous in friendship and welcome all friends into your home and trust. Never betray the trust of a host, break an oath or violate the sanctity of another’s home. The Day of Discovery approaches, when all hin rally around a new home based upon dignity, companionship and love.

Stop being an insulting troll and start DMing, or step aside, TBH

I'd rather replace the faiths section with a link to forgottenrealms.wikia.com or something, and have a post of "what's different" here.

I'm sorry, I mean "I'd rather someone else replace..."

That title belongs to Eldath

Eldath isn't so bad.  Lurue is much worse.

But I have to say, I think Cyrollalee's specific dogma implementation is enough of a niche thing that you'd reasonably get leeway to act upon those minor alterations you presented.  I don't see much of a conflict between the two!

I would tend to agree with the above poster. The differences are small enough that the leeway is possible. Now if you had wanted the goddess to instead become hin goddess of conquest and slaughter it might have been a more serious problem.

That's right. You should be a polite troll that only posts constructive and thoughtful contributions.

I was always under the impression that the dogma of a deity was literally copied from Faiths and Pantheons. We're going to be editing canon D&D materials, are we?

Not necessarily. It has always been open to each player to interprete the dogma of their character's gods. Mind you, this leaves the characters open to divine retribution but that is part of the game. I personally do not feel that Ariel would be dangerously stretching the boundaries if thomas_wiser_than_me were to use his interpretation for his character. Admittedly I am not a DM and maybe we should hear a DM word on that before we assume anything.

Porkolt -  if it increases fun, I'm all for editing canon!

Both dogmas are canon, one is the 3rd edition, the "altered" one is from 2nd edition sourcebooks word for word.

How is my saying that this deity is bad/boring some form of trolling?

Obviously it won't get changed so I think the purpose of this thread is over.

Think about it this way: our on-site resource is for the benefit of people who don't know anything about the Realms or even what D&D is, and thus would have no clue about finding more information like what you did.
