So just for background, we a playing the old Mystara setting converted to 3.5. My question is I am playing a priest of Vanya (for those that know the setting) who basically the god of conquest. So is not evil per se, her religion consists of battle priests, paladins, knights, etc. She does allow followers of any alignment though.
So the mindset of my character is that in order to “conqer” the smart way, I need to find strong allies (the party). I need to build a strong reputation, and it’s best that I manipulate others to make themselves stronger that would in turn benefit me as allies.
So I do things like healing townsfolk, take quest that will get noticed and such. I understand that as a leader, I would prefer respect and loyalty overt fear. But I do these things that would normally be considered good to build that reputation and strength. I don’t do evil things, because it will harm my reputation.
I do treat everyone good mostly, but everything is for my purposes.
