>tfw you can no longer come up with polite excuses not to be a total dick when people ask you to do shit you totally don't want to do

He needs to be stopped.

>>53040503
Maybe?

Is English your first language?

>>53040553
no, it's not

>>53040551
You could just say "sorry, I don't want to do that".

>>53040503
It'd lead to an interesting society. You'd have no reason not to believe anything someone says, but at the same time, as long as you believe something is true you can say it without being correct. It'd probably become very secluded based on beliefs.

>>53040595
>then they ask "But why?"

I think it quickly becomes a game of how long can we keep giving vague answers that don't reveal our innermost feelings, then.

>>53040503
He's not a villain, but after that if anyone ever manages to get an artifact that makes them immune to Zone of Truth, they'll reap infinite benefits.

>>53040627
I think etiquette would shift towards not being an ass and provoking a hurtful remark then be upset about it.

>>53040503
He's an autismo who gets ripped apart by countless legions of people of all races who lost their jobs and can no longer get laid.

Isn't this how Dragon Lance started?
Basically OP's scenario happened. The other god. got fucked off and dropped a moon on the planet.

>>53041064
Dragon Lance started because Priest-King was gonna become a god and somehow could pull it off, so gods decided to erase the competition.

And Priest-King's brand of "good" was not "you can't like", it was "you get burned to death if you lie, or misstep, or are ugly, etc."

There's difference between disproportionate retribution for a sin, and phsically preventing a sin altogether.

He needs to be stopped because if that Zone of Truth really happens, that means that the Barrier of Lies that the Gods created to hide the truth about the horrible writhing all-consuming cosmos will collapse.

And when you can see THEM, THEY can see you.

Clearly, that cleric is in league with a horror from the Far Realm.

>>53041144
But wasn't it his mass mind reading spell that pushed them over the edge?

>>53041229
it was his "ascend to godhood" ritual. they stood by calmly while he slaughtered people for pettiest reasons.

>>53041212
Your setting is shit.

>>53041311
but he's talking about real world anon. our world.

>>53040503

Mmmm gonna steal this for my next character's motivation.

>>53040503
>>53040551
>>53040595

faeries say hi.
they still manage to be dicks even when constantly telling the truth

>>53040503
Did somebody say IRON HEART SURGE?

>>53041144
It was because he was disturbing the balance of good and evil, not because he was going to become a god(he wasn't). Notice that the gods did shit all to stop Raistlin, and he actually DID manage to pull it off at least in one timeline.

>>53041311
You are just *frumple*. When you start to have *fun* we will *see* you and we can *go inside* and be *happy campers*!

Wasn't this that Ricky Gervais "Invention of Lying" movie?
