Thanks to everyone for informing me of the ToTRM updated Humakt write-
up; however, it doesn't change my opinion that allowing the Berserk
spell is an error (just because the RQ Gods wrote it, well, everything Greg
says is wrong, right?) The moment when you expect to face your god up
close is not the time to change the habits of a lifetime, namely, com-
mitment to self-discipline, unemotionalness, and precision swordplay.
To compensate for getting rid of Berserk I'd change Sever Spirit from its
present form as a 1-shot, ranged Finger o' Death to a temporal weapon-en-
hancing spell.
As for spirit combat - thus far I have avoided entering the argument, but one question comes to mind: if the rq4 spirit combat skills are allowed, wouldn't spirits forget them the way they forget the rest of their skills (pretty quickly), and if not, every spirit's s.p. skills would eventually go through the roof (you thought the POW accumulation problem was bad. . . )
