[QUOTE="brehobit, post: 942798, member: 12032"] I've got something similar in my game world but the whole thing is pretty complex (and because the main church is Christian I have to worry about magic "proving" the existance of God...) The simple solutions are either #1 there are good priests in the religion they just don't dominate the Church and in fact the powers-that-be in the Church and the good priest are more than happy to keep their distance. Once a generation or so there is probably a reformist movement that fails or only resets things back to the last reformist movement. (This could be great for plot points as the various factions move against each other and involve the PCs) #2 Let arcane casters cast healing spells. Take the bard healing spells and move them into Sorc/Wizard. You could combine 1 and 2. In fact if you go with 1 you should probably also go with 2 (otherwise the "real" Chruchmen and the current leaders could be easily distinquished. (Well perhaps illusion and non-magical trickery could cover it...) [/QUOTE]
