Tunare - Worth it for Bard?

[Draulius]

There are some pretty good Tunare specific items. I was going to make a Wood Elf Bard and I was wondering if there's any harm in setting it's religion to Tunare. How many places would this make me KOS compared to Agnostic, or make an illusion ineffective?

Don't see it being an issue at all really.

You would likely be KOS in Neriak/Grobb/Oggok even with the DE mask, but honestly I don't see how that even matters. Neriak is very easily fixable anyways.

The big one is being able to vendor and bank in OT if you are agnostic with the mask.

You also get a faction song, too. If you want to be Tunare, do it. You can always fix your faction later. Religion you'd have a harder time changing. :D

Anyone can bank in OT by clicking through the wall. Nobody should be selling in OT because all the vendors are greedy, but if needed bards do get sneak.

I'm a Tunare worshiping Wood Elf Bard. DE illusion and faction song bring me to non-kos from max kos with venril sathir. That plus sneak lets you do whatever you want in OT. Have had no issues with DE mask or faction in any evil city except Cabilis.

But... I'm pretty sure there are no Bard specific Tunare quests, and the only gain on religion specific cultural is extra wisdom.

I created bard before knowing anything or having any chars on P99. I clicked Tunare b/c I thought you needed to follow Tunare to start in Kelethin as a High Elf instead of Qeynos or Freeport, I think you can just click to choose your starting city though lol.

Either way, it's never really impacted me in any significant way. I bank in OT through wall and do other banking / stocking up etc. in Freeport, Skyshrine, or Thurg.

How useful is it really to not be KOS in PoG?

What is the song?

I thought faction wasn't able to save you from Deity checks? Or is it just more difficult?

[RDawg816]

Race, class and deity all add up to a number. That is your starting faction. Anything you do to raise it changes that number. It's just a matter of making that number high enough to not be kos. People go Agnostic or pick a neutral race so their starting number is higher. Even a Tunare Wood Elf Druid can get amiable in Paineel if he does the legwork.

the real deal is half elf bard for that MR mask from Inny. Tunare good for the armor, nothing too big for the other religions iirc
