Can you still take the Raised by Belief background (from Lost Omens: Gods & Magic) if your alignment differs from the deity in whose religion you were raised. The flavor text made me think so: "You might remain committed or you may have turned from your childhood creed, but your skills are still founded in your devotion...", but HeroLab is telling me that I can't, which made me question my interpretation.
I wanted to play a Chaotic Neutral Rogue who was raised by a priest of Pharasma and has this background. Of course, Chaotic Neutral is not an allowed alignment for a follower of Pharasma, but as the character has left the church and is no longer a follower, do I still have to abide by the alignment restrictions to take this background?
Thanks in advance for any help!
The background imposes no alignment restriction, nor does it say or imply "you must be a follower of this deity," so you should be OK.
I hope you can tell HeroLab to ignore the supposed restriction.
Thanks for the sanity check, Fuzzy-Wuzzy! That's what I thought. Not a big deal with HeroLab, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks!
