Feels like a good point to quote Ambassador Kosh's "You have always been here." line from Babylon 5.

I once played a lawful evil cleric in a mostly good party. This cleric was a cleric of Abadar, god of law, so naturally, she was banned from lying, making hiding her alignment... an interesting task. At least it was until she realized the rest of her party was about on fighter's level in the intelligence department. When the sorcerer asked her if she was evil (she was holding a goblin's heart in her hand, which she had just got done ripping out. With her bare hands.) she deflected by talking about the afterlife and that she'd end up in axis, the LN plane, when she died, because she worshipped a LN god. The sorcerer took this to mean 'nah, I'm LN' instead of the obvious deflection it was. And they just. Believed it. Because she can't explicitly lie. The next time she was alone she had to cast commune just to ask "Did I *really* get away with that? Is it that easy?" to which, apparently, the answer is yes. Perhaps this is the strategy fighter employs with anyone in handbookland that isn't the party.

Sorta random to bring up here, but I just want to say that I really love Cleric's redesign. It manages to be dwarf-y and traditional, while still looking unique and interesting. A+!

The touch of requiring actual divine guidance to confirm the rest really were that stupid elevates this from gold to electrum.

Thanks! I think eventually most if not all of the characters will change--I add things here and there all the time when I'm not happy with the level of detail, but Cleric's will probably stay the most dramatic.

The DM may have to put MMORPG style equipment wear mechanics if Fighter's going to abuse graveyard runs like this.
