In a way, I always said yes, it does make people more susceptible to his
preachings.. Not through any discernable system in Deadlands, but think
about it:

Here you have a city that was destroyed. There's little hope, less food, and
very little fresh water to be had. The guy who "rebuilt" this area is a
local hero who feeds, gives water, etc.. to everyone who comes to his
sermons. Eventually that *IS* going to cause people to listen more
attentively, at least IMO. I think hearing something over and over on the
one day a week you don't starve certainly will affect people's psyche...
maybe a hidden spirit check (Marshal's whim) should be made after about a
month.

Just a thought.
