Goddamnit, why can't people make some relatively neutral vote options?

Always overpowered? No.

Miss getting voodoo'ed? No.

Shamans are just fine.

Everything has a spirit, at least that is how I see it, shaman are in tune with the spirits that surround us so they should be able to get some chit chat from them at some point and time. Ancestors come and grant favors, but ancestrial lines can go on and on and on and on, so the likelyhood that you would find a couple of them giving you favor is pretty likely.

I have great discussions with christians on the matter. You have to look at your mythology and try and put some sense to it.


You also have to know that each priest prays to ONE God/Goddess for your life when you request a rezz. So, in your words, if said God/Goddess is not around, you should get no [REDACTED].

And you have to look at your objectivity issues when you try to make an argument.

Make it simple, priest oges "I serve you" god goes " Here take this mystical ring of power" priest has a portion of gods power.

Shaman goes "I need power" spirits show up and go "Let us help" deed is done shaman goes "Sweet thanks my peeps!" spirits go "No prob homie!"

Gods lend power, spirits show up, read the message spirit aura gives you sometime.

I IGNORE your stupid sentence, because it is a small invention of yours. In no faith or mythology does a God lend the power to resurrect. Clerics pray to the God and it's him who resurrects. Now go invent some more crap. End of conversation, stupidity makes head hurt.

these voting options are ridiculous but I get what the point of the vote is.


IMO, shamans don't need a tweak. Theyre monsters if you play your cards right. They're not an easy class to play, nor are they a class with obvious winning combinations, but in the hands of someone who has played a few shamen, they're a brutal force.

Hint: Spirit horde. Look into it.

They are granted power to ressurect, the diety does not come to the person and do the duty. Whenever a god is involved the power is granted, gods RARELY show up and do what their follower is asking. The power is granted or lent.
