[HoE] Doomsayers/Spooks

[Abdullah Oblongota <toadpooka@usa.net>]

<<Is there anything on the fact that both the polluters and the Cult of 
   Doom both are into pollution (The Cult seeing radioactive and
Biohazardous 
   waste as a means to an end, but still a good thing)? Would the Cult
have 
   Toxic Shamans in it adding to the the spiritual aspect and the "Mmm,
benzene! 
   I wonder what would happen if I put that in our drinking water!">>
Well, there are 5 kinds of Toxic Shamans (Trash, Insect, Smog, Sludge
and Radiation).  Only Radiation really overlaps with the Doomies
(though, commendably, their favors AREN'T duplicates of Doomsayer
miracles!).  Now, there are also Corrupter and Cleanser shamans.  Here's
where it gets complicated: the Corrupters are generally seen as bad
guys, as they channel spiritual pollution into the real world.  The
Cleansers take that energy from the real world and ship it back into the
Hunting Grounds.  So the "bad guys" are more amicable to the Doomie way
of seeing things (though Doomies might not know the particulars of how
Spook magic works).  There are also a few things the Spooks can do that
screw up Doomie beliefs (curing mutations, for one).  I think the
interplay between the two types would be very interesting (BIG HINT
there, Damon).
