| Feb 16, 2022 at 22:45 | comment | added | GMJoe | @KRyan You're mostly right, but the neutral alignment was just called "neutral" in most official sources, not "true neutral." | |
| Jan 5, 2022 at 19:08 | comment | added | KRyan | 3e (and, IIRC, D&D prior to that) doesn’t make any distinction between True Neutral and Unaligned. True Neutral explicitly covers both categories, those who truly embrace balance and those who don’t know and/or don’t care. No edition of D&D (to my knowledge) “asserts” that animals are positively devoted to and aligned with “balance” or whatever. True Neutral is just the alignment that includes creatures without moral or ethical inclinations (or capability). | |

Wasn't it before in forgotten realms, that these souls of not worshipping a deity would travel to the ninehells and become property of Azmodeus? | |

| Sep 19, 2019 at 13:10 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | If lore from prior editions is useful, then it might help to note that in editions 0th, 1st, and 2nd, spells like raise dead were restricted to PC-races only, and explicitly noted those as the ones with souls/spirits. | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 12:27 | comment | added | user37158 | @Gloweye That was why I asked the question, because the text to my mind certainly implies that it exists. But yeah, this is all weird. | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 9:27 | comment | added | Gloweye | I just totally love that we're talking about an "unaligned agnostic frog soul" | |
