[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 418071, member: 6533"] [b]An Option[/b] This may sound a little weird, but... ...one of the actual responses to increased discourse with non-Christians who were undeniably good guys was to just acknowledge that they were undeniably good guys who were undoubtably as blessed by God as good Christians. Pagans don't exactly abound in Dante's Paradiso, but they are there and they often occupy places of incredible importance. Cato, for instance, guards the gates of purgatory, which, while not the best place to work, essentially makes him the gatekeeper for the elect just as much as St. Peter. Given that and other attitudes of the period toward cosmology, I think you could play a game that was perfectly in tune with medieval ideas of God and still have just as much divine magic playing around in non-Christian lands as you would in Western Europe. Mind you, a lot of people would not see that as appropriate on either side of the conflict. But what the hey, it's not them dishing out the juice. BTW, thanks for the input Seasong, but I'm actually looking for a priest class which largely lacks magic of any type. [/QUOTE]
