[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9042250, member: 6779310"] Given that the only post-D&D fantasy novels I've read fall into... [LIST] [*]McCaffrey, who was not D&D-familiar [*]Dragonlance [*]Warhammer Old World based - with it's own variance and non-combat caster clerics (but not axiomatically turning undead nor healing) [*]post 1800 earth settings.... the Castle Falkenstein and Deadlands [*][I][U]The Trigan Empire¹[/U][/I] (which lacks any D&Dism and any magic.) [/LIST] The rest were written before D&D or at least started before D&D [I][U]Conan the Barbarian Kull the Conquerer John Carter of Mars[/U]¹ [U]Flash Gordon[/U][/I]¹ [I][U]Buck Rogers[/U][/I] Comics¹ [I]Stormbringer series[/I] (only two, not early in the series) Arthuriana ([I][U]Once and Future King[/U], [/I][U][I]Le Morte d' Artur[/I][/U], [I][U]The Mabinogwion[/U][/I], excerpts from Nennius' [I][U]Kings of Britain[/U][/I], [I][U]Prince Valiant[/U][/I]²) [I][U]Hägar the Horrible[/U][/I] Græco-Roman and Egyptian mythology (yes, these were every bit as much a part of my bedtime reading as...) Christian biblical and hagiographical works.³ so, yeah, most of them, caster priests are inherently evil, but the term "sorcerer" is too generic to be meaningful - as it axiomatically includes all supernatural ability wielders - outside the D&D redefinition. [HR][/HR] ¹: Actually in the Planetary Romance genre, which is often hybrid SF/Fantasy ²: I found the PV comic exceedingly boring. Beautiful, but for 8-10 YO me, just too damned slow in the sunday comics. ³: Hagiography is the literature of the lives of the saints (or when applied outside the Christian context, various religious leaders and martyrs). Only a handful of Christian hagiographical works include clerical casting... but those include Genesis, Exodus, Acts, and even some of the histories. :) [/QUOTE]
