Interesting point of view Old Crank, and welcome to the forum. I wonder, why is it that you don't allow PC's to be dark clerics? Dice, the trade off between attacking skills and weapon restrictions is an interesting house rule as well, thanks for that. I think the both of you have house ruled the cl...

The creation in response to vampires a la Van Helsing is an interesting anecdote. Does this exist in writing, maybe from an interview? I saw this quick note on wikipedia: The cleric is largely inspired by folklore of the medieval cleric of Templar. Like the Templars described in White's The Once and...
