"My wealth from my work. My pride from my service. My power from my sacrifice. My reward is worthwhile."

"O, Mistress, you reward the dutiful. For my work you've given me skill. In my task, give me success."

"I accept my burden, my fate. My reward will come in time."

"For the work well-done, the rest is well-deserved."

These sound great!

I am playing a Tiefling Swashbuckler that worships Lissala. To make him feel more like a worshiper I have been trying to come up with a few prayers that he can say in various situtations. I am trying to emphasize the Lawful aspect of Lissala and effectively gloss over the Evil. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Interesting idea. It seems like it would allow for some power combinations.

The campaign I'm running right now is based off the idea that undead and the spells that create them are not strictly evil. My decision was that spells like animate dead and create undead are evil if the caster is, any mindless undead created by these spells are the alignment of their creators. Intelligent undead can have any alignment, but the majority tend to be evil. Does this seem like a good premise or have I made undead too complicated?

The question ask yourself next is "if undead can be of any alignment, why do most tend to be evil?"

I should make it a little more clear. Undead are still viewed mostly the same way by most people, societies and gods. So if a paladin were to smite a LG undead he would still get his smite, since it is undead. The part that I think makes it interesting is when the vampire that you've been sent to kill has the best of intentions with the inconvenience of being a blood sucking fiend.

Do the "mindless" undead retain their alignment when their creator dies?

I like the idea of free-roaming LG zombie hoards rescuing stranded travellers, repairing roadways and structures, and doing their best at keeping decay at bay.

City Planner's Lament, "We are trying to make a new park here, but those zombies keep putting those hovels back up. Something needs to be done about this abomination!"

I never thought of that but it would be amazing. I might steal that idea
