When I read it "back in the day" (the mid 80s), I loved it. But, really, a lot (not all, but many) of the priest's spells are rewordings of wizard's spells. For example, <i>Take That, You Fiend</i> becomes Fist of (insert the name of your deity here), say <i>Fist of Zeus</i> if Zeus is the chosen deity of your priest. So, with perspective, that article became rather so-so. Just my opinion. <br /><br />I'd recommend any fan of T&T to try and get their hands on old copies of SA, and some of the well-received solos of the line. It's really gives one a sense of the history and tradition of the game. <br /><br />All that aside, your article is a nice take on the Cleric class so prevalent in other games. I even like the name "Godsword." Perhaps definitions of those Talents would be in order.Sorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485097316924991612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693727510617938398.post-88504775578492640002011-12-11T18:26:10.208+00:002011-12-11T18:26:10.208+00:00Mirabile dictu! presents two character classes: th...<i>Mirabile dictu!</i> presents two character classes: the Cleric and the Acolyte. The latter is to the cleric what the Rogue is to the Wizard (in terms of restriction in spell ability).<br />The article comes complete with tens of clerical spells. The names are not whimsical and thus less "T&T"-ish in flavour than the wizardly spells. Spell casting ability is dependent on a new character ability, Faith, which is used to fuel the spells. Successfully converting heathens brings extra Faith. I've never used it "as is" from the article, but with heavy modifications (I use WIZ for fuelling the spells).賈尼https://www.blogger.com/profile/03207671300903490067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693727510617938398.post-24187463102965487072011-12-09T21:03:08.744+00:002011-12-09T21:03:08.744+00:00@atroll really glad you like it.

The Godsword is charisma-based while the Assassin is more intelligence and dexterity oriented.<br /><br />@賈尼 I admit that I've not read that.

Hard to think what triples on the CON roll would be good for, but if it made for a tougher warrior who could take more punishment all the while attributing it to godly favor . . . hmmm, it totally works for me. Very cool concept and much better name than cleric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
