Breath not a word of what had transcended within this hut today, child. The Lord of Light wish only for solace, and those worthy of his grace shall find their own way here. Leave now, and remember that the Lord can take away miracles as easily as he can grant one

My problem with setting up in Africa is that in the long run we'd inevitably make it worse. Unless we were running an organization that also provided education as well. I'm all for making the world a better place, but I would prefer waiting till we're more established. Maybe hookup with other like minded individuals, or fellow followers of the light.

@Lost Star, Out of curisiosity could you give me the skill list for the Priest (or more to the point the difference between Palladin and Priest Skill set, I just need to know which skills are different for which and how the upgrade system works loosely).

Cause I'm interested in writing something about having a priest skills and how it changes things

Would likely have done something like the following:

6a) Increases MP + 6
6b) You are armored by your faith. +5 HP
6c) You can tell vampires at a glance, and deal increased damage to them
6d) All primary stats +1
6e) You can get a sense for when demons are nearby, and deal increased damage to them

[X] Go to the party house Friday and check if Faith is around to celebrate.
[X] Train Charisma on Sunday

Don't want to smother her. If she's around, we'll be there. If she's not. Then we'll give her her space.

Also work on that Charisma for that Competition next week.

I already told you this, but my long term plan is to just start a massive worldwide religion, hopefully get some large scale conversions by those of Islamic, Jewish, and Catholic faith, and maybe have some bit's of our religion aped by those three religions. My general goal here is to make it so there is just a ridicoulous number of people with holy powers, thus cutting down the number of vampires and demons worldwide, increasing humanity's ability to defend itself from evil forces, improving the overall health and safety of the world via having good people with superpowers running around, and making the world a better more moral place in general by simple exposure to a religion that flat out gives people superpowers thus making people take it's basic tenets of, you know, being a good person and helping people much more seriously.

So, yeah, at some point I am going to want to go public. Not now, not for a long while as we are not nearly tough enough yet, but at some point.

I really don't think we need to go down Holy Light with just Faith as an ailies, maybe when we can have a larger group?.
Unyielding Light is give us more raw damage, which is always good. Of course unless Cleasne's "negative status effect" include sore muscle from overexertion, headache and exhaustion from missing sleep, ect ect, basically making us a holy powered Ternimator, them I'm sold.

I want to get down Holy Light to Mass Resurrection, because being able to rezz a bunch of people in one go sounds *very* useful. Especially if we start burning vampire dens down and find recently dead victims of vampires.

And then Unyieldin Light to at least Avenging Wrath, because the sheer WTFness that we can induce with that is lulz. Avenging Wrath gives wings formed of light, it'll be hilarious how enemies and others react to seeing that. :p
 
I want to get the Angel.

I think that would be nifty.

Not even, not even for combat purposes. I just sort of want to talk with one. That would be a hell of an experience.

Smothering her is entirely the opposite we want to do with her though. We're not her parents and actively trying to force ourselves into her life will harm our relationship with her more than it helps.

Some people just need their space. Think of her like a wild animal. Have to go slow.

Edit: Besides, we've seen notes that she's been to the hangout. So we know she's fine.

Also this is both very interesting and as point of fact we're almost tankier than a newly kitted out palladin. Presuming same stats

Sound plausible, especially with Christian, given how the light look like it is Christian-inspired. Get Avenging Wraith+Angelic Ally+Shining Brightly, tell everyone we are Hardcore Metal Jesus

Are you proposing a Cudgel of Forgetting?

It might not talk, I always assumed they were a manifestation of the pally in question, rather than an actual being, a projection rather than a summoning.

Regarding going public though, I would think we'd do it through the Silver Hand, play up the similarities with Abrahamic religions, They all have angels in them

Or just skip it and go stand in St Peters square with an angel buzzing about, the Vatican are blatantly in on the Masquerade, I just don't think there's been proof of religious stuff before, lots of its explained as magic.

Lastly, watch out for Scarlet Crusade types, the light doesn't care if you are actually good, only that you think you're good, I'm imaging Riley Finn being chosen to infiltrate our organisation and then teaching the spec ops people about the Light
