I would assume the GM'll provide the necessary plothooks for crime fighting.

I will, once we get ready to start that. Which is to say, when the heroes stop chatting. Or maybe I'll drop a poorly-planned mugging into them.
The Seer seems fine.

Seems sensible, althou1gh we'd need to research when trees grow to 15-20 feet to figure out specific timing.

Unless it blocks movement, you can engrave it.

Thank God this isn't what I thought at first...
I've never had legendaries migrate except from old forts. I think a better solution would be to have legendary social skills do something useful.

Yeah, what Manveru said. Why must everything be due to regional magic, and why must an explanation be in the draws before it counts?

I gave you one, the miracle of modern science, in the form of medicine for healing and radio and flight for the airstrike example.  It actually owes its existence to the medieval monastery, but other than that it and priests have little to do with each other.

Modern science may be considered a "miracle," but it was not connected to God in any notable way. Not directly; priests may have helped, but God did not. If He did, he thinks in odd ways and conceals His work well.

Let's see if I have this straight; because I have some doubts as to whether I understand you.

You don't believe in god.

The miracle I use must come from god.

You've got a grasp on history and have your own explanations for the miracles of the bible, so it has to be something else.  And the miracle of life and other such everyday experiences also do not cut it for you.

And this is all for the purpose of enlightening me as to why priests in a fantasy world must be magical instead of mundane?

Let's not turn this into a religious debate. If gods grant miracles, on a consistent, reliable basis, that's similar to magic. If a priest can ask his/her god to heal a cripple, that's similar enough to a healing spell that a game with both might as well use the same framework for it. That's essentially what I'm trying to say.

And in case anyone cares, I think that the Bible is what people saw at the time, slowly changed by word-of-mouth until biblical stories started being written books instead of told by word-of-mouth.

We left already; I paid for everyone after summoning Succubus.

Really? Where are you now?

((Just outside the resturant.))

Thanks.
