Right, how could mortals ever dare to tap into and "store" divine power? Didn't the Ark in Indiana Jones contain divine power? We all know how that turned out... Anyway, yeah, in my D&D games I've never really allowed clerical scrolls.Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-6407312997202564982013-03-16T19:47:30.975-07:002013-03-16T19:47:30.975-07:00@ Danny: no problem...and it really is Comcast tha...@ Danny: no problem...and it really is Comcast that's mostly on my mind at the moment. Grr!<br /><br />@ Scriv: holy relics ARE a big deal in this game (or should be once I get around to writing up the magic item rules) but even if a scroll WAS appropriate (I don't really think it is) for a relic, it probably wouldn't work the same as a D&D spell scroll.<br /><br />As for breaking stuff and getting a magic bennie for the effort...interesting, but nah. Maybe XP or a +1 to saves as a blessing or something. Maybe.<br />JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-25745037146781902052013-03-16T18:02:16.163-07:002013-03-16T18:02:16.163-07:00The Comcast people are being a pain in my butt too...The Comcast people are being a pain in my butt too. I called four times, talked to three different people (one time, the automated service hung up on me) and still, after waiting here all day, no one came to replace the fried modem.<br /><br />Argh!<br /><br />Anyway, I look forward to reading the new article.

If the ability of a cleric to even cast a spell is indicative of some degree of divine favor, perhaps it really is 'saints' whose writings have power. I mean, fingerbone of St. Whomever having power to cure is a time-honored sort of thing so it's not a huge stretch. <br /><br />In game terms, at the end of an adventure for every act of extrordinary devotion to your deity perhaps you are granted an extra bit of favor: you can persist CL spell levels of spells (or whatever amount seems right), basically creating a scroll, though probably it's not really a scroll, your ring or garment or something becomes holy in a way that mimics spell 'scrollage'.<br /><br />As far as those heathenish ones you find...no, of course they're no good to you, but destroying them is an especially holy act and you'll be granted some fraction of their stored power as 'scrollage' of your own.<br /><br />Just a thought.ScrivenerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861652415900436411noreply@blogger.com
