[QUOTE="devilish, post: 1865652, member: 17552"] Well, I've painted myself in a corner, DM-wise. Players are 1st level -- find themselves on a new plane detached from their home (now in Valus. ) Cleric worships Norse as a pantheon but is cut off from his deities. I was thinking that he only has access to 1-2nd level spells because of the detachment - not a problem at first level, but definitely puts pressure on finding a way out later. He's starting to convert the populace and, for now, I'm letting the Valus gods ignore it. I was wondering, if I treated the Norse pantheon as a cult, what would happen if, say, he got 200 worshippers. Would that be enough to "punch a hole through" or instantiate a demi-god representation/avatar of Odin. If so, what spells could the cleric get. Conversely, he might think "hmmm....only 1000(x?) more worshippers and I'll get 5th level spells and get out of here....." But if they decide to stay, this would make a great epic-level campaign on world conversion. In reading through some posts, it seems like the 1st-2nd level spell limitation is a 2nd edition rule --- that in 3rd, if you worship a pantheon or a belief-system, that you can earn up to 9th. (Yawn! :) ) My way is mega-interesting! So, was just wondering, before I can take a look at worship points, what to do with this poor cleric. Many thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
