I have sympathy with his view.

He's also right, sk-wise. The Crimson Templars have a in game writing that makes them the "final word" of the clergy - in fac,t it's written that if a Crimson Templar tells another member of the faith to jump, they jump.
Out of interest, in game writing according to who? Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference OOC-wise, so maybe this isn't the place to tell me. But I do know that if I played a high priest of Alshain and had some petulent knight tell me what to do, I'd do my level best to blemish his [REDACTED] (intentionally using the American spelling there because it's "cute" rather that offensive) to hell and back. And if his favour prevented it, I'd fine infinate other IC ways to make his life a misery until he finally saw the error of his ways.
Point being only that it doesn't matter what's written. Only what's played. And for my part I taste this occasionally bitter pill often enough, but that's how it is and ought to be even so.

In Fear, when I had Pellaeon, Kalum deferred faith matters to me - and when In War, you'd better damn believe Slayne gets the final say, and so does the HK of Ain. The only deviation to this pattern, seems to be Truth.
At the moment. There may even be a trend. But the only thing that holds it as a rule is the relative strength of the individual players involved.
But it could be I'm accidentally derailing the point of this thread.
In my very considered view, priests should get empowerment for Holy Symbol at F2 (as they currently do) and Paladins and Hellions should receive it at F3 (as they currently do not).
I do hope my memory of mechanics hasn't got that the wrong way round. I mean, of course, priests should have easier access to it, but knights still get it eventually, all the same.
