[QUOTE="Erstwhile, post: 2692468, member: 6086"] Pretty standard D&D-style polytheism. Ten gods (I've added an eleventh - "promoting" a canon demigod) with a variety of portfolios. I'm leaving Clerical magic pretty much as is, except that instead of being able to convert a spell to a healing or inflict harm spell, you convert to a Domain spell. But I'm not going to fiddle with their spell lists in the same way as I have with the Wizards, because the Domains allow for enough specialization IMO. Though I may remove certain spells from the common spell list, leaving, for example, Healing spells as the exclusive domain of Clerics with the Healing Domain. ("Hi, I'm a Cleric of Agrik, god of War, Fire and Destruction. Heal you up a bit there?" - no, not so much. ;) ) The Clerics themselves are getting a bit of a makeover - Clerics of different Gods will have different weapon/armour proficiencies, Feats, and special abilities (Turn Undead is not a class ability of Harnic Clerics) but that won't have a major impact on their magic. Always a concern. :) Sure. That's a possibility too - there's already substantial overlap between Cleric, Druid, and Wiz/Sor spell lists. You think so? :( For me it's one of my favourite aspects of the setting! But then my first Harnic character was a wizard. :cool: Yes. And I don't have a huge problem with that - D&D already has the syndrome of, as you've mentioned, "the only difference in magic is who casts it", so I don't really object to spells from different Convocations having similar effects - they'll just be based on different underlying "logic" (e.g. speeding up metabolic processes - Fyvrian (life) or Peleahn (heat, speed)? Or both?) And thanks for them! [/QUOTE]
