07-02-07, 11:46 AM If he's not a cleric, I don't think he's mechanically required to obey the one-step alignment rule, although one wonders why a Good person would follow Shar. Perhaps he admires Shar's tendency toward deception. There's also the question of whether Shar would willingly be the patron of a Good person (assuming deities have a choice in the matter). Perhaps she believes that she can turn such a deceptive person's actions against him, or she may believe that a life of deceit is more important than a life of evil.

the character uses his enchantments + perform(fortune telling) to deceive people into believing whatever he wants. he actually sees himself as an artist. so liking her for a deceptive behaviour is an OK idea.
