I'm just going to repeat this question: "Why are some making such a big deal out of people wanting a Religion dice roll that would potentially provide basic information on Shar, a MAJOR goddess in the EA story who is THE goddess for one of the origin characters? We're not even talking a dissertation. Just a roll and a few dialogue lines. 1 or 2 sentences."

You find a book called, "The Unclaimed." Gale says, "This appears to be a book on Shar. She's an evil goddess of darkness and loss who likes to torture people and such. Very nasty group of zealots; a secret society of evil. Well, that is, that's what some believe."

"And what do you believe?" Shadowheart asks him.

Gale shrugs. "Hmmm. I believe that people have many perceptions about many things that aren't necessarily true."

Insight roll is made for the MC. Success means that you spot that he gives her a strange smile as if he is sharing secret with her.

Or maybe this scene happens when you find the Selune statue in the owlbear cave, and it's played out between Shadowheart and Lae'zel. Or maybe Shadowheart's not there, and it's played out between Lae'zel and Wyll, and there is no insight roll made.

Or maybe the scene doesn't happen at all and it's just the Narrator saying, "This appears to be related to Selune (or Shar depending on the item found)." Game rolls a religion roll for you, like it does Arcana and such at various times during the game. You succeed. Narrator says, "Selune is the goddess of the moon; a good goddess who is adored by many. She has an evil twin sister named Shar that is feared and hated; goddess of darkness and loss."

Just SOMEthing simple to give the player some sort of idea who these characters are so they don't have to stop playing, pull up the internet on their phone, pull up some details about Shar or Selune amidst the sea of information out there, etc.

It's ALL we're asking. So why are people so opposed to something so small that won't take but maybe 10 seconds of gameplay and it would be totally skippable if you don't want it there?
