[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6157625, member: 92511"] This is all meshing/coming together really nicely, guys. Keep it up! 1. There is a singular gold dragon in the "real"/material world. 2. He/She is, as the rest of his kind who no longer inhabit/exist in the physical world/as physical entities [by divine decree, communal consensus, evil -or good!- powers blocking them?], a "saint" among dragonkind. 3. He/She has a developed a cult of followers...whether through little to no desire of his/her own or, perhaps, some grand design/desire of his/her kind. 4. He/she has access to clerical spells (the use of which leads to the cult forming in the first place?) and has begun doling out golden rings that contain/allow clerical spellcasting to his/her priests/most devoted. 1 ring for each tier of clerical spells...but he/she is limited to imbuing 3rd level spells....maybe the "high priest" can get 4th...maybe not. 5. Say these rings permit casting for those tiers for, say, a year. So no priests of the dragon can go very far afield or, if they are/get stuck, can't renew their magics. I can finally see a way/use for wandering mystics like this...without it mandating an "asian/japanese" nation in the world: [ATTACH=CONFIG]58142._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]58143._xfImport[/ATTACH] So a cleric with 1 ring has 1st level spells, 2 rings = 2nd level spells, etc...Loosing their staff (or more accurately, the rings) or being away for more than a year, means no more magic for them. This...this is working for me... GIMME MOAR! lol. [/QUOTE]
