[QUOTE="Torm, post: 1933828, member: 12706"] I'm not sure if he got it out of a sourcebook (hopefully he'll be along to tell us shortly) but in a game Henry used to run for us, the rule was that the maximum level of spells available to a cleric in a particular world was tied to the strength (numerical) of that deity's following there. As an example, at one point one of my characters named Darboz died, and (I think more as a lark than anything else) Henry had me carrying on a conversation with Odin while waiting to be brought back. Darboz, a wizard more reliant on himself than any outside power up 'til this point, decided he rather liked the old guy - and when he got back, he sought out Odin's following in his world. Almost nonexistant. Tyr, on the other hand, was one of the main gods of the world, and His church was willing to do a limited sponsorship for the establishment of an allied church of Odin. As Darboz gained a following for that church, he gained more of his clerical abilities. I think when we last played that campaign, Darboz (and another character of mine named Thor Odinson) had managed to earn access to up to 3rd level Cleric spells for followers of Odin in that world.
