** TNO has likely violated every principle he could possibly channel countless times. He has no scruples left.

[[folder:Can't be Cleric]]
* The Nameless One can be a Fighter, Rogue or Mage, but not a Cleric. It's handwaved that it's because the gods have forsaken him, but in Planescape you can access divine powers if you uphold principles strongly enough. Fall-From-Grace is a Cleric and she doesn't worship any deity as far as we can see.

**Are we not including Ignus and Vhalor? Both Neutral (one chaotic, one lawful), fitting with evil celestial Trias and compassionate Fiend Ravel. You must fight one of them at the end of the game, but will overcome them. Both should be dead, but the planes gave them new life as undead paragons of destruction and justice. My triad would be Ravel, Trias and either Ignus or Vhalor depending on choices you make.



** It also *is* possible to become a RealityWarper in the Planescape setting. See the Nameless One arguing someone out of existence, [[spoiler: figuring out that, by believing he can make himself cease to exist, he can,]] oh, and lets not forget ''magic'' which is not just possible but ''ubiquitous'' in every D&D world setting ever and ultimately amounts to someone causing their belief about how the universe should be to come to pass through sheer force of will. Most people just don't have the force of personality/ enlightenment to attain this.

\n\n[[folder:Rune of Torment caster?]]
* In the clip you do not so much cast the Rune as invoke some... '''thing''' to cast the spell for you remotely. So, what the in Nine Hells and Infinite Abyss is this thing? I can't find any reference to it at all.

** It wasn't a ritual to stop the amnesia. He just asked a fortuneteller ''how'' he could keep his memory, and they told him it would happen after a few more incarnations; they didn't tell him why and he didn't care. (Also, my recollection is that it was the Paranoid Incarnation, not the Practical Incarnation; it was one of the things that broke him.)

Why is there no armor or shields available? There are plenty of weapons available, including axes, clubs, daggers, [[EggsBreadMilkSquick severed limbs]], and this is a society in which such weapons get used to resolve disputes on a fairly regular basis, which would suggest that people would realize the value of armor and shields pretty quickly. And clearly Sigil is a society with the capability to manufacture armor. The Mercykillers clearly wear armor. So why can't you buy a suit of armor or a shield for the Nameless One?
