[FOIG WARNING] Mechanus Shrine Won't Accept Offering

Post by In Sorrow We Trust »

Summary:

Attempting to interact with the Shrine in Mechanus on a character who worships Gond, is Lawful, can create golems, and has access to divine magic.

Expected Result:

  1. Use the shrine.
  2. An option should be allowed to make an offering of a <Specific Item>.
  3. Something happens when you make the offering.

Actual Result:

  1. Use the shrine.
  2. There is no option for making an offering, regardless of having <Specific Item>. Nothing is explained as to why this interaction isn't allowed.
  3. Cannot proceed regardless of this entire interaction making sense for this particular character.

No screenshots to help keep FOIG FOIG.

There's a book ingane that describes how to get these hidden streams. It might be due to a part of the character creation that can be DM moderated, and can even change depending on what you do ingame.

Modrons of the same feathers flock together I suppose. Maybe you need to be more or less like them when talking to the shrine? Or just find another one who you suspect might be one.

I'm pretty sure that--as usual--if someone were to look at the area in the toolset, the distinction is probably a lot simpler than you're thinking.

EDIT: Also, the character is absolutely Lawful, so alignment clearly has nothing to do with it.

I think you have to be specifically LN for that place

I'm going to avoid theorycrafting or discussing FOIG elements any further, but from what I witnessed, it seems like the expected requirements Do Not Make Any Sense.

I just chased this riddle down, ran around doing the crafting. Hours wasted because hidden requirements blocked me.

I submitted an update that should have the shrine give the player some feedback, instead of leaving them scratching their head. Not live yet, though.
