Important stuff

(11:31:36 PM) SeianVerian: First, I'm going to say this- Alignment doesn't matter at all. For all intents and purposes, it does not exist. The Detect Evil ability of a Paladin ACTUALLY detects negative energy. Demonic, undead, anything related to them.
(11:33:34 PM) SeianVerian: There is one church that has great influence over the land, and doesn't allow other religions to flourish. Other religions are viewed as heresies and blasphemies to destroyed. Magic users that do not receive their magic through their methods are hunted down and killed, for the most part.
(11:33:56 PM) SeianVerian: They don't view the bardic arts as real magic, but more stage tricks, which is how the arts have survived so long.

(11:34:31 PM) SeianVerian: Druidic magic, and ranger magic, is ignored for other reasons entirely. Mostly because they don't feel it's worth waging war with all of nature itself.
(11:34:52 PM) CeresMelancholy: i would punch you if you banned bards in your setting
(11:34:53 PM) SeianVerian: ...So yeah, that's the background on magic and stuff
(11:34:59 PM) CeresMelancholy: :V
(11:35:22 PM) SeianVerian: Yeah, I specifically was trying to find a way to exclude bards from the persecution so you could play one :V
(11:35:42 PM) CeresMelancholy: even if you did ban it i'd still punch you because you basically neutered all the fun classes
(11:36:04 PM) SeianVerian: There DO exist arcane casters, but they're secretive and hidden, feared by all
(11:36:37 PM) SeianVerian: I only banned fullcasters for balance reasons :V But then when I thought of setting reasons and stuff I realized it fit together well
(11:37:06 PM) SeianVerian: Oh, and clerics just plain don't go out questing. They have more important duties in the church itself.
(11:37:11 PM) SeianVerian: Quests are what Paladins are for
