It appears that Monte attempted to smash one of the sacred cows of D&D - separation of arcane and divine spells.  IMHO, I believe that where you get your spells is as much a flavor and role-playing element as anything and if the player and the DM decides (and the PC believes) that they derive their power from their god, then it doesn't require a mechanic to say it is true.Unfortunately many of players that I have known RPed the cleric more as a field medic/buff-caster/fighter with a mace.  Playing a Priest is quite different and game mechanics are a tough way to teach this. I am not sure if taking the divine/arcane distinction out of the equation will solve this problem (or if that was even one of the intentions), but I believe it was a noble risk.  Taking on a D&D sacred cow requires some nads.</blockquote>
