Shar walks, onyx is created.
Either that ... or its just they way people think about them, but that seems irellevant anyway.
The question here is not how the stone was created ... but how it is used.
So lets say you are right ... just for the sake of arguments.
Shar walks, onyx is created ... what exactly stops any non-sharite to pick the onyx up, prefferably few dozen of sencuries later, and make a jewel out of it?
So let's use the Yin Yang. You just crashed on a beach, the boat you were on has sunk. You encounter a person with robes that have the Yin Yang all over them. You discover they are a priest, but they don't offer up what priesthood they are apart of. But they have Yin Yang all over them.
I never heard about Yin Yang material ... O_o
Is that some kind of stone? Is that some kind of fabrick? Is that some kind of ore?
No ... its just different shape, just as the cross was ...
So again:
That would be good example for her shoulders and the form on her jewel on forehead ...
You know what i mean right? Comparing shape, to shape.
Onyx on the other hand is just a stone ... a material.
So to make adequate example you would need to say something like:
All *INSERT RELIGION HERE* wear at least one jewel with Ruby ... therefore if you see someone wearing Ruby, its logical to presume that person is a *INSERT RELIGION HERE*.
Wich does not work like that.
As Captain America would say: I can do this all day.
And you know it, so please at least try to make an expression you actualy read it at least once. :-/
I can use different example if you like ... some you were using in the past, so you should understand it better:
Settlement = Water ... Water =/= Settlement
A = B =/> B=A
Same rule works here:
Shar = Onyx ... Onyx =/= Shar
A = B =/> B=A
All I'm suggesting is that a Religion check be made. If our world was an RPG and the scenario above I just provided were applied to our real world, a person would roll a Religion roll to see if they recognize the Yin Yang symbol.
But you are not recognizing symbol ... you are recognizing just a f*cking stone!
I mean yes, it would be possible if Narator would say something like:
"That stone looks like and Onyx ... they are often used by worshippers of Shar, but you cant say for sure that is the reason she is wearing them."
And even that would need to be used only after you pass your Investigation check to even determine that stone is a f*cking Onyx.
she is also carrying around a spell focus holy symbol with an onyx at the center
Does she?
Wich one?
Her crown, or circlet, or w/e you want to call it?
Then she would be unable to cast once you unequip it ... she isnt. O_o
Big Shar Reveal, then they REALLY REALLY shouldn't put her in Dark Justiciar armor with big onyx stones all over it.
When you say "big onyx stones all over it" ...
Wich one are you talking about?Since the only stone i can clearly see is that one on her forehead ...
2cm top, that is hardly big, nor all over ...
And yes, there is that black part of her armor ... not even sure that is Onyx, by the way ...
That one is indeed quite big, well more like medium but w/e ... but all over? O_o
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But once again i repeat that i still believe that she should use Discuise Self on herself ...
She do know the spell, its allways prepared even, and she even have scroll with it. :-/ What more do we need?
