Alignment limitation


Council of Thieves


I want to know a thing, playing in Westcrown have some alignment limitations? What are alignments prohibiting?

Pretty much all Good, Neutral, Chaotic and Lawful alignments are fine in CoT. A paladin might have some problems if he defines "sneaking around and breaking and entering" as not acting with honor, but generally the characters should be interested in doing good.

I wouldn't play an evil character in CoT unless you can work it out with your GM that your character is in it for some personal reason, like that he thinks the House of Thrune killed his family or that he wants to free Westcrown so that he can take control of it politically. Otherwise they'll probably de-rail the game being stupid evil.

I asked that because in my memories (I don't know if it's in the player guide dedicated to CoT or in the pathfinder companion for Cheliax) but I believe that people worshiping Chaotic or other evil gods (other than Asmodeus) are toturated and so on.

Cheliax is indeed under the thrall of an evil house that is associated with the worship of Asmodeus... but the nation is also lawful. If they just tortured and arrested ALL worshipers of chaotic deities, they'd have a civil war and probably all sorts of other wars on their hands. The government has to be a lot more subtle than that.

There's no alignment restriction on Council of Thieves, in other words. You can play a chaotic character in Cheliax just as you can play a lawful character in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords; you might stick out more, but its not a death sentence. Nor should it be.

Tha,ks James, in fact it's in the companion for Cheliax, page 25, it is written "some faiths are forbidden upon pain of torture ans execution. These include the worship of any god of chaos or any demons or devil other than Asmodeus" :-D
