Just got to thinking while my experience pool drains: how much of a cultural/religious "slur" (for lack of a better term; I'm decaffeinated at the moment) would it be for someone of one race to worship/honor/whatever a deity designated as another race's? For instance, how would it look for a Darju to be paying homage to Sala'Reivaa (the Alteri goddess -- muse? -- of magical and mental arts), or a Jaddan to worship Rugnol (the Darju god of fear and nightmares)?
I'm pretty sure, regardless of which race supposedly "owns" a god/dess of a certain aspect of Haelrahvian culture, that everyone will be free to do as he or she wants, but from a totally IC perspective: How would you, as an Eolai, react to seeing a sub-par Darju praying at your altar to Aroai? How would you, as a Darju, react to seeing some scrawny Alteri honoring Lvordu?

Generally it would be perfectly acceptable to worship a deity outside of your race. There are some who would take offense or not view you as a "true believer", but generally this is not the case.

I'd just like to take a moment to point out the fact that my guns are better than yours.
That is all.

..Not to mention that arms and hands are NOT vitality-losing areas.. so shooting me once to both areas would not cause a death. And, despite your "(more attacking)" add-in, it would take you more time to re-aim than the stun would last, which would give me enough time to either a) beat you down, or b) run and/or hide.. either option is fine, really. And, if you were not to bother aiming for the second pair of shots, you wouldn't hit; we've already proven this theory to be true.

If you have to aim to hit someone who's stunned, you are the suck. And my guns are still better.
