Mr. Newton states that Babeester Gor was intended to be powerful.
I agree. However, this doesn't justify the existance of a one-point divine
spell that could easily add 2000% to someone's attack percentage. It is a
poorly defined spell. Now, if Axe Trance were defined as a stackable spell
that adds 20% per point, then it would be in line with other divine magic,
and Babeester Gor would *still* have the best selection of divine magic for
combat of *any* cult, Humakt included (Axe Trance, Slash, Shield, Great
Parry, Heal Wound, Heal Body, Invigorate, Berserk... need I go on?).
As to those who feel that Babeester Gor is Avenging Goddess of the
Earth...what role does that leave Gorgorma? If there is a goddess who pro-
vides a divine spell that allows a rape victim to *automatically* become
an intiate of that goddess, gain the spell, and cast it depriving her
aggressor of his manly member, well, then only that goddess is deserving
of the title Avenging Goddess of the Earth. Babeester Gor still has the
Chthon rune (a much better name than "Malign Earth," in my mind), and is
a nasty cult, but vengeance is not her primary mission, and she is not
the primary vengeance goddess of the earth pantheon.
