You know what I like most about religion in Birthright? They've thrown
out the clerics! Hurray! *cheers loudly* I was also really glad to
see they've done away with those pesky psionics.
Specialty priests - yeah, that's more like it...

That's definately one of the pros of BR. Specialty priests are so
much nicer than clerics, and much less boring.
And PSI definately is broken. The four standard classes are balanced
(well, more or less), but psi is way too powerful, maybe that's
because it was added later. The only exeption is a Dark Sun campaign,
where everybody has psi. It's a bit strange that something that is
broken is not broken once everybody has it...
