The game allows players to play either good or evil characters and often includes elements that some consider to be occult, including the use of ghosts, spirits demons and devils which the characters may fight or aid as they see fit. It also expressly adopts a polytheistic pantheon of deities and rejects real-world religions. Many characters in the game worship these fictional deities both as lay persons and as "clerics," a profession than any character may choose to undertake. Clerics of these deities or devils are granted magical powers by their chosen "gods" by means of which they can kill enemies. | The game allows players to play either good or evil characters and often includes elements that some consider to be occult, including the use of ghosts, spirits demons and devils which the characters may fight or aid as they see fit.
