Here's my question: the Traveler is NOT an evil diety, he's chaotic neutral. Can a PC worship the Traveler? Or does the ban on the Dark Six apply to the whole set, despite the fact that the Eberron book states that the Traveler is seen as being somewhat apart from the other five? Any answers would be appreciated.

I think that this would apply to all of the gods in the pantheon designated as evil, which effectively rules out worshipping the Traveler, even though he personally is not evil.

The Traveler is more of less the patron god of changelings, yet for some reason changeling PCs may not be allowed to worship their non-evil diety. PCs can be Chaotic Neutral, is there any good reasons to disalow a changeling from worshiping his or her racial diety?

In the absence of a campaign ruling which allows the Traveler to be worshipped separately, you're out of luck. I would disallow it as a DM. Ed

Just don't run around praising the merits of the pantheon as a whole and just stick to the Traveller, and I would say you are fine. I know that half of my group will be worshipping The Traveller (two are changlings, and one because it fits his character).

So those that worship the Traveler, because they relate more to those principles, is still a member of the Dark Six church. This is explained in Appendix 1 of the CS (Although their example is for the Sovereign Host, it still applies). At least at my tables :) Scott Perdue
