[Rq-rules] House Rule Query

[Clive Wickens]

Also you might want to consider how well in with the priests or cult your 
character is. They might have the dosh to spend ( or the animals to 
sacrifice ) but maybe they are religious or political persona non grata with 
the priests so they simply won't play ball ( or bull or baal ). Maybe 
they've annoyed their deity for some reason and the first couple of 
sacrifices simply put them back on a good footing with their god before the 
deity decides to hand out the divine spellware.

Cattle raiding takes on a whole new meaning if you start thinking about 
animal sacrifices. Not only can you get magic from your god.....but you can 
deprive the other side from getting magic from theirs......

Cheers,
Clive
