Would anyone play a pro-chantry inquisitor? Maybe allowing people to set up a chantry at the castle or fight in favor of the Andraste? I like how you can set up a chantry in Orzammar to promote the teaching of the Maker. Since I play as a mage in my first file, I may be pro-mage, but in a subsequent playthrough, I may play a dwarf who believes in the Maker. I know that the Chantry has been vivified by a lot of people here, so I'm just wondering if anyone would roleplay as one. You don't necessarily have to support the chantry personally to roleplay as one. 

[wolfhowwl]

Yes I would.

My only Hawke was a zealous Andrastian, siding with Petrice against those horned heathens and with the Templars every step of the way. Needless to say Anders and I did not get along.

[Snook]

My Warden most DEFINITELY wasn't, my Hawke certainly wasn't either, but if I was to make a character completely based off myself? Maybe. Definitely them over the mages.

[Hey]

i like separation of the chantry and the state but i dont hate it in general. it like feeds the poor and stuff

[Chari]

Me surely. I'm sick of all this Chantry/Christian/Religion-phobia in the net
No matter who I play all my characters are either pro-Chantry, or Chantry-positive. Even the Dalish and Qunari
All races, religions and philosophies are important and majestic in their own way

[AresKeith]

I'm pro-Circle if that counts

[Iakus]

I would.

The Chantry doesn't get everything right, but I think they could be a powerful benevolent force in Thedas. And yeah, I think they get overly vilified by some who see an organized religion and automatically think "Dogmatic oppressors!"

So you either threw yourself or your poor mage sister under the bus?

I am pro freedom, the chantry needs to stay the frak out of mage business.  ALthough I am nto opposed tot he religion itself, I am opposed to the way it's been interpreted by the people in power.

[NoForgiveness]

im so anti religion that I cant even roleplay a prochantry type.

[Zazzerka]

I support the Chantry in the same way that I support the St Vincent de Paul Society. I agree with their support of refugees and other people below the poverty line, but not with their underlying beliefs.

As for my Warden, I've set him and Leliana up as analogues for the Maker and Andraste, so yeah.. and Hawke doesn't give a damn.

A lot of the people only see the bad in the chantry in regard to oppressing the mages, but they also help out the poor and give people hope in time of need. While I'm not fond of their mage policy, a lot of the teaching by the chantry is very benevolent if you pay attention to some of the pro-chantry characters like brother Burkel.

So what's your thoughts on the Black Chantry?

[AtreiyaN7]

Nope - I'm not keen on organized religions in the first place, and I intensely dislike the ones who drug and brainwash their holy warriors to control them. *points at Templars*

The Chantry kinda has the right the idea, I don't agree with how they treat the mages but magic is dangerous to both Mages and non-Mages

That's where the Circle comes in

I think that has more to do with the corruption from within the Chantry than what the Chantry represents. I would be in favor of a Chantry reform if possible in DAI.

I don't think either of them gets it right.  But the Black Chantry is also a splinter group of the more main stream Chantry.  Each of the groups bend the meaning of the Chant of Light to their own ends.  The meaning itself is lost on both of them.

[jaethos]

After reading Asunder, the Chantry looks pretty awesome. I've never had a problem with it anyway, some of the Templar stuff was overboard, but the Chantry itself is all about helping people. My Warden was a believer and my Hawke respected it. My Inquisitor will be pro Chantry and somewhere in the middle in regards to the Templar/Mage situation.

This sums up my thoughts nicely. When I do self-inserts, they tend to be religious, but not full-blown "kill-everything-I-don't-agree-with" zealots. The Chantry has the power to do good, let's just do some internal fixing.

My Inquisitor will be sympathetic to mages' plight (not their fault they were born with magic), but at the same time see the necessity of the Circle.

An answer I can respect.

Magic itself is not the danger. 

It's the way people use it that is the danger.  Magic, like any other tool can be used to protect or to destroy. 

Example:  I own a gun, several in fact.  Since a gun can be used to kill, does that mean I am a killer?  No, of course it doesn't.    I've been using weapons since 1997,  I used them to protect and to defend, never to destroy.

A good perosn can use magic to no ill effect, while an "evil" person can use it to destroy.  It all depends on the person.

As a pro-mage, I want to play the devil advocate here. You don't get possessed by your gun while people with magic potential are more prone to possession especially if they're a blood mage.

My Canon warden was a Loyalist Mage, my Hawke... Not so much. Don't know about my Stable of Inquisitors yet

But that doesn't mean that the person will become possessed.  The Chantry, instead of working with the mages has decided to oppress them.  To lock them up and mash them down, this in turn has some mages becommign desperate and turning to a mor epowerful magic to fight back, which can at times lead to possession.  Not all mages when confronted by a demon will cave in and becoem possessed.
