Well, I'm back online and catching up.
Nothing much intelligent to say, the unnaturally hot summer we've had here in Sweden has caused my brain to overheat slightly...
Re: Sandy's suggestion about Divine Magic renewal. Don't certain cults have _weekly_ holy days? This unbalances things, mainly in the favor of such cults (assuming many cults are still restricted to seasonal ceremonies - though with this mechanic in place, what cult in its right mind would stay with such a limit?), and of course in the favor of characters with dozens of DM points. Someone else's idea that you can regain magic (as a priest) whenever you can round up enough initiates to hold a ceremony rebalances somewhat, but there is still the problem that powerful priests are favored _at_the_expense_ of the less-powerful: the simple Ernaldan who just wants to cast as many Bless Crops as possible, mentioned by yet another person, gets shafted. Maintaining parallell systems (_both_ the old 1pt/day _and_ the new everything-on-a-holyday) seems to be overdoing things - whatever will the sorcery buffs on the Daily say?
Re: Peter Michaels' Sexual Prowess.
Why is the spell stackable? What good would it do? Extension seems more
useful. :-)
And, since nobody else seems interested...
