Speaking of Saints...
It has been 1500 years since the Battle of Deismaar and the birth of the
new Gods. They are worshiped for more than a milennium now. Isn´t it
possible that a few (tens, hundreds...) of mortals have followed lives so
faithfull and true to their Gods´ways that they were acclaimed as saints by
their religions?
If think so... do they REALLY become saints or is it just legend?
And if they do become saints are they capable of being patrons of soe of
their god´s followers granting them some sort of bonus?
(Ex.: priests of an IHH monastery who are patroned (sp?) by a paladin who
faithfully seved the IHH and Haelyn 600 years ago -(I´m not sure the IHH is
600 years old but that is irrelevant right now) - as a bonus from their
patron they use the fighter thac0 progression instead of the priest one.
Drawback - they must respect all the tenents of Haelyn´s (IHH´s to be
specific) paladinhood.)
