[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 3781843, member: 307"] I'd say it depends on the faith. The priests of the orc pantheon might teach that their deities see no reason to waste divine power on those who don't adhere to the teachings of Gruumsh and his subordinate gods. They could define a "no healing" rule for all unbelievers and infidels. Priests of the Saxon church might say, "limited healing for unbelievers, no healing for infidels/heretics, full healing for the devout". Priests of the Celtic gods might say "unbelievers and the devout can be healed as normal, and infidels can't get any". And so on. Each faith can be defined as to how it stands on the issue of unbelivers, and infidels and heretics. But wouldn't it make sense that a pseudo-Christian cleric would have less ability to heal the filthy Thor-worshipping barbarian than the devout god-fearing knight? Yes, it might make multi faith parties harder to handle, but I'd argue that that is the [i]point[/i] of this system. It [i]should[/i] create problems to have a pseudo-Celtic druid, a pseudo-Catholic priest and an Odin-worshipping barbarian traveling together as adventuring companions. [/QUOTE]
