sorry if i came about as contradicting you.
#BIRTHRIGHT CAMPAIGN SETTING CLERICS FULL#
The only point I was trying to present is that I think your gaming experience will be full of frustration and you will miss out on a lot of enjoyment of the hobby if you try to apply Apendix N literature to your gaming world like it's some set of rules that have to be followed. In other words, I'm not trying to quote something from an Appendix N source like someone finding a passage in scripture to support something and I'm sorry if it appeared that way. Strictly speaking, Tolkien's elves don't even fit into D&D or DCC, as they would likely have ability scores in the 20's for atributes like DEX/AGL, CON/STM and WIS/PER. But I wasn't using this as a source for validating elven clerics, just as an example of the fact that there are multiple sources in the appendix N list and all of the game systems out there are more or less a blending of the literary sources. The "gods" in Tolkien's literature live among the elves but there is absolutely no hint of worship or clerical status among any of the races as you said. or even religions of any kind.Īnd I think you would be absolutely right to claim that. Yes but you could claim that in tolkien's work there are no clerics or organized religions. elves were basically more of anderson variety: godless and immortal and prone to occasional wild hunt. The fact that only hummies had clerics was a big thing in their rise to power. i would draw your attention to late 2e setting called birthright. Was this all a bunch of new age nonsense that Gygax unloaded on us to make the Elves seem more human and playable? I remember the 1rst Deities and Demigods had all these Elven godz in it. just a bad vision of what elves have always been. Elves cannot be clerics! Is this in the same category of things they can't do, say like touching Iron since it burns them?Īll those years with Elven clerics running around. This lead me to thinking that DCC Rpg has it right.
They have no problem capturing other peoples and making em thralls. Im re-reading The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson.
