[QUOTE="cooperjer, post: 7090697, member: 6862150"] Having ran Werewolf the Apocalypse for many years I'll pull from that game for a couple points. The clerics may not revere a spirit, but may see it as a tool to be manipulated or used for an effect. This may be more of an antagonist, but may also be a PC use of the spirits. As stated above, druids may also consider the spirits as allies in that they work together for an effect. Some of the classes may pull spiritual energy into them selves. This spiritual energy may be consumed and redirected or the energy may be a small portion of the spiritual environment from a large area and then redirected. Some classes may associate with only a specific group of spirits. Are some rangers going to limit their spiritual contact only to predators? Are some clerics only going to limit their contact to city/urban spirits? Would a fighter limit its contact only to spirits of armor and weaponry? Regarding warlocks, I'll agree that a warlock is only working for a spirit via contract. The description in the PH gives me the impression that they are the rogues of the casters, but in a not so nice way. The bard is a rogue in a sense, in that is grabs spells from others, but this is generally done in a respectful way. In my opinion, a warlock is one that would steel a magical secret before the spirit knows it. If caught, the warlock will work out a deal to keep the magical secret. [/QUOTE]
