very cool... And potentially very flavorful. I may add this in myself,
although I'll probably push it off to whenever I start another Deadlands
game years down the road..
Even the basic 'Protection' miracle can make life difficult on the...er...
undead. I've seen it abused a bit to set up kill-zones more effectively.

Also, did Smite ever get modified to allow using the bonus for other
things? A player and I both thought it might have been, but since I
couldn't find it I ruled that the strength bonus can be used, but using it
trivially will not go down well... using it for any sins will make the
effect worse.
