Interestingly it lead me to a few other neat words...<br />petition, prayer<br /><br />benediction, blessing - a ceremonial prayer invoking divine protection<br /><br />commination - prayers proclaiming God's anger against sinners <br /><br />deprecation - a prayer to avert or remove some evil or disaster<br /><br />intercession - a prayer to God on behalf of another person<br /><br />invocation, supplication - a prayer asking God's help as part of a religious service<br /><br />requiescat - a prayer for the repose of the soul of a dead person<br /><br />I sorta can't make up my mind. We playtested the "know religion" (i hate the name) as a normal spell, but it didn't feel right. Perhaps I am not conveying my intent as well as I would like. It seems a cleric might know when they are in the presence of 'spiritual' stuff - like a temple. They would just feel it. Heck, we normal humans almost always know when we are in hallowed ground (whether mundane or sacred). Then on top of that (as a swell) maybe a check to determine the religion. That was steve's thought as well.<br /><br />yeah we can bounce around the magic tree, that'd be awesome, maybe on the boards so everyone else can see?Troll Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473890012472557047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18361181.post-53653283064480043682012-09-22T10:49:42.152-05:002012-09-22T10:49:42.152-05:00Davis, don't let me tell you how to run your ...Davis, don't let me tell you how to run your company, but "know religion" should most certainly Not be an innate ability. What should be done with it is, possibly an Orison? That would make it not at will, but still easy to access, much like Detect Evil or Detect Magic. <br /><br />Your game is my go to game, in fact I'm currently working on a couple of modules to present to you Trolls. However, I've also been dealing with the arcane in the same way that you are dealing with the divine. Perhaps we should talk some time and throw some ideas back and forth.R.J.
