Pharasma Question


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Shadow Lodge

I'm making a shadowdancer character who strongly, and arguably insanely is a devout follower of Pharasma. I was wondering would Pharasma poorly look upon him if his bloodline was partially Undead, as I was thinking adding in Undead Sorcerer would be an interesting thing, I'm just curious if Pharasma would look down upon him from this.

To quote the big P herself, "Birth and death are written in the bones. But bones can be broken." Pharasma wouldn't judge your character for the circumstances of his birth, and you have the ability to defy that heritage and use its power to make your destiny something much greater. Also other books mention that there are "white necromancers" in her church, people that practice necromancy, but use it for knowledge or to help bring peace to the dead, rather than creating hordes of zombies to TAKE OVER THE WORLD. So long as you don't, you know, actually animate corpses, I think Pharasma will be cool with you.


tis a neat concept. I think that pharisma herself would not mind as long as he is not a necromancer himself. People in the church likely would, but hey redemption and proving one's self can be fun. :)

I think it might be worth mentioning that just because you choose a god doesn't mean they choose you back. What Pharasma thinks about you doesn't matter compared to what you think about her, unless of course you're expecting direct divine intervention or divinely inspired spellcasting.

I have an Oracle of Life (Haunted curse) who is a Dhampire. He is a worshiper of Pharasma and gets his spells from her. He is a "ghost whisperer" and helps restless spirits pass on to the halls of Pharasma. The clergy doesn't like him much because he is a Dhampire...and they’re a bit jealous of him because Pharasma gave him his divine spell casting.

I played him through the "Haunting of Harrow stone". We had lots of fun

So on some things I think Pharasma will be a bit flexible. On others like the animation of the dead, definitively, not flexible, no exceptions....not allowed.

I hope this helps
