Which I suppose is nice, but I'd hoped it to have at least served as a talking point. One of the myriad of reasons I tabled Liang for now.

Exactly how was your lack of faith brought as an issue to the other players? And how long did you play him? People's lack of faith can become wonderful issues of conversation and discussion, but you can't expect the religious players to magically know your character wasn't faithful or that your character was someone to even talk to about religion.

Having said that, I will bring it up in my conversations unless you are Khitanese or Londwyn, although I like a challenge, those races tend to be non-religious and it would be impolite IC to push them. That is not to say I haven't argued theology with a Londwyn, or Khitanese, but I usually want to see receptiveness first.
Showing up to Bar Mass, indeed coming within 10 feet of Bar Mass, all bets are off, however. That is my designated time to lay a little religion on folks. It's well known enough now, that attendance implies consent, accidental or intentional.

NPC of the Month
Alice A. as Blightweaver
From her makeup to the way she moved and acted, Alice was on point portraying what a lizardkin shaman should be. Beyond that, she kept up the whole weekend with delivering several story elements and more in-your-face action. Even before using a single skill, she had the heroes uneasy just from showing off her totems and bones. Good job this event!Alice A. as Blightweaver
