[QUOTE="Mystic Eye, post: 348398, member: 711"] I would say the most of this applies to the BC world. All but number 2. There are definately active gods, devils, and demons in BC. There are even clerics though I would say they are more rare than a wizard. The guy who followed Lady and Croaker's daughter around (can't recall his name off the top of my head, the head strangler) was a cleric with godly granted powers as far as I could tell. The Tree on the Plain of Fear was clearly a demi-god of some kind and was worshipped and protected by the creatures of the plain. It may be that in the last books Lady multi-classed into some prestige clerical type as she was able to draw power from Shiva. Number 1 may not work for BC either. Raven seemed to have some aptitude for spell casting though it was not often obvious. I think if he had discovered that potential very young he would have nurtured it more, expecially if it was a very rare gift. There seems to be a strange mix of power levels with spellcasters. Parts seemed based on learning, like a wizard, but there is definately inherent aptitudes that seem to manifest differently in individuals. Like the difference between One-Eye, Goblin, and Silent. Silent obviously, for what ever reason, had far more aptitude for more powerful magic than the other two. He was taught some pretty nasty tricks by the Taken that I think the other two could not even have mastered. I love the BC setting but Mr. Cook does not want an RPG based on it from what I know. At least not an officail one. My two cents! [/QUOTE]
