So far it is, but if I began too use summon undead more often should I alert a DM and let them decide if an allingment shift is in order?

(btw I wasn't sure if this was the right place too ask these questions, so sorry if it wasnt)

No, i think this is a fair place to put this. The more you use undead, the more it should be corrupting you, so if your using it often it should make you evil. In theory anyway

Boneskin is not even in the PnP version of the class, my best assumption is that boneskin be very hard to notice as it doesn't mean you skin is bone, but its much harder then normal skin. What you need to worry about other people noticing is Undead Graft, which gives you an undead arm of a skeleton or preserved flesh

I think you are right the desciprition on the wiki is "tough, cadaverous flesh" so probably would just make the person look pale and if someone touched their skin it wouldn't have much "give" in it, like if you pressed their cheek it wouldn't be soft too the touch.

I got a question when I tried to use reverie's qualities.

They say that reverie is a state in which elf replays his memories instead of dreams. How far can it go? Do they start printing to be viewed in reverie from the moment of being born or some special age from which memories are recognizable? Can it break barriers of mindwipe?

If you are referring to things such as Programmed Amnesia spells, no. If it could, elves would clearly be an ECL race. :lol:

I cant find anything on when elven memory starts, but i can assume that its something akin to humans where they cant remember there birth or baby years. They can reply memory's as long as they have them as far back as they had them. Its also important to note that many of the books have elves not always in control of the memory's they see, often relieving bad or troubling events.

Are you referring to Modify Memory spell? Because it can modify only 5 minutes worth of memories. I don't know if it stacks though.

Greetings, is there such thing as premortal confession to a priest in Forgotten Realms setting?

If so, priests of what diety are generally viewed as most trusted ones?

Thanks in advance.

I'd imagine that the atonement spell is the closest you'll get.

As for the most trusted priest, the short answer would be your own, or the ones who's portfolio you've wronged. No (in)sane priest would readily cast an atonement spell on someone, without first hearing their confession. After all, it's an XP hit! ;)

The reasons for confessing can wary a lot mind you, hence the short answer above. Where a follower of Ilmater would atone for accidentially bumping into a passerby on the street and causing them unneccesary suffering, a follower of Bane would atone for not instilling enough fear in his subjects.

Premortal Confessions are not always about atonement, though.

In my case, it is a relieve, when a dying man wants to share his burden with someone who (he knows) wouldn't be revealing it to others.

Purely psychological thing of "not dying alone".
