[QUOTE="Dirk Perfect, post: 414854, member: 8039"] [b]historical campaign[/b] I ran a historical campaign in Europe during the middle ages back in the old AD&D days before there was any material out. As far as the Church goes, we made it an organized religion based on a collection of saints which were "gods in effect" granting spells. We created our own saints for certain orders within the church. This works for the eastern church, too. The Pagans existed and had their own gods and priests. I would keep the Druid since they are a historically-based character class that followed pagan gods. I would also keep the sorcerer since they seem to make more sense than even a wizard. I am not really familiar with historical or even a legendary college of mages. The church would try to close them down anyway. The opposing religion would be obvious since the Turks are coming. I would change names and avoid offending anyone with strong beliefs. You could use Persian religions that predate islam and use those in its place. Zoasterism (sp?) was big in that area earlier in history. [/QUOTE]
