[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 6107430, member: 529"] I agree, this would be good. There are other good reasons for this too: - Charisma would no longer be *the* dump stat, so you are likely to have someone in the party with high Charisma. - If I was a god I'd want clerics who were leaders of mortals...I'd want them to have confidence and eloquence, and yeah, some gods would want them to even look good. - It further differentiates clerics from paladins, druids, and rangers. There aren't a lot of casters that use Charisma. - "Sheer force of will" seems like a pretty good description of clerical magic, I don't think there would be a need to change a lot of flavor text. Another thought is that why do all clerics need to have the same stat for their magical power? A cleric of a god of strength might use the Strength ability score, while a god of beauty might prefer Charisma, etc. Maybe that's too big a change with some unforeseen (by me) ramifications, but I like the idea of it.
