Hey there, Thanks for the replies. I think some of my difficulty is that i played D&D with DM modified rules before and I'm trying to get my head round BRP CF. My deity has also come across from D&D land. So I dont have to pray at Dawn *for spells* every day -( though I will still have to pray anyway as that's part of following my deity ). So can you just clarify how many spells I can actually know and have at my reportoire as a new cleric (well actually one converted in from D&D) who has INT 12 and POW 15 . Also, would they all have 100% success ? The CF book says a cleric can start with 2 common but then says something about having up to two additional ones as per gaining new spells. Am i then correct in thinking that I can then, with money, the right amount time spent in ritual space and successful perform ritual rolls, increase my spells up to a number equal to my POW (currently 15). Apologies if these are silly questions I may be over-complicating things as my brain is still stuck in D&D rule-land. I'm also probably not helping my self by just reading the cleric sections int he book - but my time is limited Melissa

Hello, I've just started playign BRP Classic fantasy as a cleric. I have a couple of questions for those more familiar with this system than I. As a Cleric it says in the book that 'The Bless Spell can be used on an area to create holy ground, so a cleric far from civilization mays still pray for spells.' Now does this mean the Greater or Lesser Bless Spell or either? I'm also a bit confused about spells and theuir memorization. My character has a POW of 15. At the minute I take 3 hours at Dawn (The praying at dawn is a trait of my Goddess) to memorize three different spells. However I'm confused as it says in CF manual that Clerics are able to memorize a number fo spells equal to POW. Does that then mean that, in theory, if i spent 15 hours a day (unrealistic) I could then have 15 useable spells in my reportoire for that single day. However the next day I would have to do it all again and pray for the number of hours equal to the number of different spells I have chosen for that day? Also just to clarify - say I have Command, Chant and Perception spells memorized (3 hours prayed for at Dawn). I could choose to use say Command that Day at Level 5 which would then cost me 5 Magic points instesd of 1 plus it would take me longer to cast . This with a DEX of 11 it would mean my 5th level Command spell woudlnt go off until me DEX is 11-5 = 6. Is that right? Thanks for any insight! Melissa
