[HOE] Unlimited Doomsayer spells (???)

["Matthew Weaver-Uzelac" <redbird47@hotmail.com>]

Greetings and salutations,

Ive been doing a lot of thinking lately about radpriests and perachers 
lately.  It has come about with the new ed of D+D.

A long time ago, I new a DM that said that he didn't allow his priest 
players to choose any spells during creation.  However, if the priest needed 
a little help from above, the player would "pray" and her patron would giv 
whatever help he thought they needed (or desreved)

In a way I like this system, because it aligns nicely with my own beliefe 
system (God gives to you what you need, nothing less,)  And it would make 
sense for a Preacher (or a Telavangilist in HoE's case)  but what about a 
Doomsayer?  Would that over power them?  Would that limit them?  I could see 
the glows saying  "I know my child that you wish to smite those black hats 
with atomic blast, but there is a better way, and for the sake of you and 
all invovled you must seek a better solution (and hurry, they are almost on 
top of you)"

The system would still require a faith roll (to see if you ask for the right 
thing in the right way - using the standard TN) but then the GM decides what 
would be most approprite.  The Marshal would have to take into account how 
well the player is keeping the faith, and if there is a laspe, if there was 
a good reason for it (aftert all, the Glows did choose these people, that 
means they have something inside of them that has worth and value)  Then 
unleash the miricle.  I do realize that this is open to Marshal abuse, but a 
marshal could abuse anything in this game, so that really doesn't mean 
anything.



So, to get to the sharp and dangerous point, Should Marshals not allow 
Doomsayers to pick their miricles but instead chose approprite miricles from 
the whole list for them as the situation dictates?


Good luck, and let the typing begin
