Enchanter Religion
 

I'm an enchanter level 8 and I chose Mithaniel Marr as my religion, how screwed am I? Is it a real pain in the ass in later levels?:)

I would reroll. Religion is worthless for enchanters and it could be annoying for a few things.

Ok that's one vote for a reroll, sucks I'm gonna have to buy all my spells again - took hours to earn that PP.

Religion is pretty cool if you want to roleplay a follower of that God though :cool:

Reroll agnostic. You will regret it later

I played an enchanter that followed Tunare to get cultural armor. Didn't effect me too much, but I didn't have much desire to go to evil cities anyway.

enchanters HAVE GOT to be Agnostic, otherwise most of your illusion spells are basically worthless.

THIS.

I'd argue some neutral races like gnomes, humans, erudites will be pretty okay worshiping fairly neutral gods if they want to....orr even evil gods. People go on and on about the nice faction benefits of Innoruuk worshiping human clerics or Berty worshiping gnome necros for example :cool:

PS Faction matters most in Velious and all this faction talk in this thread is about old world....enchanters get invis super early and also their +Faction spells pretty early too. Worshiping a deity is most precarious if you mix it with being an evil race dark elf or "Good" race High elf. :cool:

PPS Erudite gives you permanent +5? MR, Gnome is perma wall-look hacks without casting a spell and are cute to many players, gnome Bertoxxulous worshiper seems to perfectly mesh well w the campaigns of carnage and death most P99 enchanters seem to leave in their wake. :cool:

Imo there's nothing wrong with picking a deity if you want to for RP reasons. If you see your character as a champion of good and honor, go with Mithaniel Marr. You get a lot of tools to get by manipulating whatever NPCs you need to as time goes on.

The only thing it will affect is some factions and how your illusions work. On my Tunare high elf enchanter, my dude was scowling to certain NPCs in Neriak despite dark elf illusion. And he will have to wait till 16 to do the stein of moggok quest due to Clurg being apprehensive as a dark elf. But that was totally okay knowing I was playing the flavor of character I wanted.

It is a shame that deities are seen as a trap choice for enchanter but I think many of them are pretty cool with the theme of the class.

An erudite Prexus enchanter could model themselves after one of the infamous sea creatures of legend, the Sirens.

A Brell enchanter makes sense too, given all the metals and gems that enchanters work with.

A Bertoxxulous human enchanter working for the Bloodsaber cult, charming and luring victims into the sewers to be turned into minions or sacrificed to the plague lord, how badass is that?

And so on...

Play to the flavor you want for your character, you can make up for the shortcomings later. :)
