However this is not done presently.  Two weeks ago a priest of OSIRIS
cast a miracle to raise from the dead a hirudo.  See a problem here?
And it was one that'd been dead for over a year RL.  Unless people
change, esspecially the GMs, how people react towards hirudo, they
very definately should not, in any case, be allowed as PCs.  You become
one, you are an actor.  

I still don't see why Osiris, one of the original gods, would help out
a worshipper of Rudri, and one of the more powerful ones at that, but
I will definately admit I don't know the whole story about what went
on, but I am curious. =)

Why would a player loose 10% of his xp?  Did I miss something in the
Rudri section?
