[HOE] Toxic Shamans and Heresy

[Dusarat@aol.com]

            I like the Heresy of Angel worship idea for Toxic Shamans, Or 
maybe like the focus on 'Saints' in many Catholic places.  Really, when you 
pray to St Jude, aren't you really asking a Guardian Spirit to intercede on 
your behalf?  And does that make you less of a monotheist?  
    I'll be honest, on Toxic Shamans I really only refer to  corruptors, 
because Cleansers seem to be merely there so PC's can have Toxic-shaman 
powers and not be 'bad guys'.  (The fact that every arcane background in 
Deadlands has to have a 'good bunch' and an 'evil bunch'.)  
    But on Green doomsayers spreading radiation.  Well, Radiation causes 
mutations.  They can irradiate food, cause radioactive storms.  Spreading 
radioactive waste... to doomsayers... is a GOOD THING!  Rads are like them 
little wafers in Catholicism, they're how God becomes a part of you and 
everyone should take a little green glowing communion.  If only to get 
Chosen.  
    Wouldn't the Rad spirits love this?  And as such wouldn't they cluster 
around these guys?  The shamans have to find their radiation to spread, the 
Doomies have made it a part of them, and they're so willing to share. 

    P.S. Anyone notice that Doomsayers don't have a power simply called 
'irradiate'?  Where they just irradiate an area?  I'd give that one to 
Doomies for free.
