Done and done. Thanks for the idea, can't wait to see what Laufey thinks of the idea.

He-he-he. :) I'm afraid I cannot, but you can give Laufey the idea.

EDWIN: Technically speaking, perhaps. However, you are forgetting that Bhaal is dead. A tiny, microscopic, but nevertheless fairly important point, don't you agree? It's not as if he is about to come charging up any moment now and tell me to mind my manners where his darling daughter is concerned.

Please tell me Bhaal will do that in the mod, when you meet his avatarform in hell, when he talks to Melissan.
Please, do tell...   ;D

I liked the way it was done in Edwin Romance, btw (divine blood vs noble blood):

EDWIN: My family happens to be wealthy, powerful and noble. I was simply trying not to overwhelm you with my superior ancestry.
PC: Ancestry isn't everything, Edwin. As I well know, being who I am. In fact, I suspect it might even be argued that divine blood outranks yours.

Yep, something like that. In one of the first versions, anyway.

In the Council of Six building and every single noble estate PC is treated exactly like this. In Trademeet, too, even after PC saves the city: unless the noble needs something from said PC, it's "Saved our town? Good for you. Now go away, you smell" sort of thing all around. Not exactly polite? Sure. Creates nice medieval flavour? Of course, that is what it is there for.

Shouldn't divine blood trump noble blood?  ;)

So... why does PC have to enforce democracy and people's rights there?

It isn't about teaching democracy...  it's about teaching that snobby !@#$% to respect the Son (or Daughter) of Bhaal!  lol

 ;D

Mind you, such things still happen.
What throwing dead bodies into the water or alive people to the sharks? or both? Of course they still happen, why wouldn't they? It's not that for thousands of years people were "bad" because they were uneducated or something, cruelty is the very essence of being human, we're probably the only species (maybe exept for dolphins) that take pleasure in hurting their brethren.

Sounds like they are some very sadistic animals. They're also the only other specie which practices sexual stimulation before the intercourse, did you know that?
Well, I said maybe, there is e.g. registered case of one species of dolphins wiping out another one, but we do not know whether they take pleasure in killing like humans. I sincerely hope nothing that is as bad as us exists anywhere...

I did get the irony, thank you Borsook. What I meant was that a swim lesson involves being already dead.
Don't you mean dying during the lesson?? Throwing a dead person to the sharks is no fun and doesn't give the sharks much needed exercise. Besides whole tradition of "walking the plank" was connected to the fact that technically speaking you were not the one doing all the killing.

Perhaps I should have explained that it has nothing to do with "walking the plank", but is merely the "tradition" to throw a dead body into the ocean/sea if you do not want it to be recovered.
This is more like 1920s and does not fit the spirit of heroic fantasy! Pouring some blood into the water and then "allowing" the person in question to abandon ship is far more fun, you should try it sometime. :pirate
