Does it bother anyone else that the opposite of holy weapons is "unholy" weapons? Unholy just means non-holy, as in regular. That got me thinking, I want to use another word to describe them in my campaign, but I can't quite decide, so I thought I might get your opinions.
Here are my possible options:
1. Wicked
2. Vile
3. Sinful

I was gonna argue that since we accept that undead doesn't mean alive, we could call things unholy. But a lot of the alternatives proposed so far sounds so much better, so carry on.

>>43614606
It's still holy, just to a different power.

Go to sunday school, ask why God loves war, death and to troll his followers so much, the next 31 words that come out of the priest's mouth would be probably antonyms of holy.

Holy literally means "dedicated to a religious purpose".
>>
>>43614798
Technically >>43615664 is correct. A weapon dedicated to a god of evil is still a holy weapon - it is a weapon set apart for a specifically religious purpose.

I feel ultimately though the distinction is regardless. Generally the only people who don't immediately conflate "holy" with a power intended to be Good and who feel the need to remind people of its literal definition are the same people who feel the need to tell everyone how big of a bastard God is.

Most people generally perceive "holy" to be indicative of something good and sanctified since most people are exposed to it in the context of a religious service, where it's always used to describe something relating to God and therefore, by extension, Good.

I mean "irrelevant"

Iniquitous is a little too scholarly, but I like it.

The opposite of the hole is the donut.
(So the opposite of a priest is a baker? And the opposite of a place of worship is a bakery?)
This line of thought may have unintended consequences.
>>
Base as an adjective is the term used quite often in old religious texts.
>>
>>43614769
Depends on the priest.

My priest would probably explain that violent people of the past really wanted to justify the things they did with a just cause. Now we just do it for the oil.
