Orl, a little clarification. I believe this is either a typo, or, that's the case in Avlis, or, dare I say it, you made a mistake? :shock:

Do you mean to say Clerics of Verossa must be chaotic Evil, But Druids of Verossa must be choatic characters. Druids can't be CE.....

Dammit, I forgot about that because I allow CE druids when I DM, if done right. NWN does not let you make CE druids?

I will look into changing it in the next hak, but don't quote me on that. For the meantime, they can be neutral evil or chaotic neutral if need be.

I always thought druids had to be True Neutral ... or was that just in the old rules (pre 3e)?

[Edit: I mean "regular" druids, I know Druids of Verossa are a little bit different ;) ]

Hey, Slightly off topic, but I made an evil druid of Dagath after reading he has both good and evil followers, and those damn druids of verosa attack him anyway! You'd think they'd have a little more consideration for a fellow evil druid... (Oh wait, that's right, they're evil... damnit!) :P

The chaos aspect of natural destruction seems clear, but what is it that makes the followers evil?

I can see the self-serving qualities of the goddess herself, if she demands sacrifices at threat of destruction in order to gain tribute, but what of the followers?

What would be the stance on the 'fairy cold war'? Verossa would want to agitate the conflict this as much as possible, out of hope for another Massive Bad Thing, or am I thinking along the wrong line there?

More or less what I'm asking is if a follower would
a) be aligned to O'ma or Titanea's side,
or
b) be aligned to neither but wish the conflict to escalate, or
c) not be involved whatsoever.

That's largely up to you. Verossa does not have much organization among her followers.
