Re: Elven Priests and T'or Harmony

[Keith Klumb <kklumb@expert.cc.purdue.edu>]

I hate to bring up more crap on the elven torites. But if they don't
really get their power from To'r, thus they don't need a soul to channel
divine energies.
	Wouldn't that mean that a detect divinity wouldn't work on a
Torite? Since they aren't actually channeling divine energies and that is
what Detect divinity looks for. Also to back this up is the fact that
their is no Divine cermony to ordain them (the ceremony is just going
through the motions, with no real divine intervention). This would be true
except for a Marsal who is selected and ordained by To'r himself.

John, no that write up didn't get sent..I'd like to see it. I'm planning
an adventure that might use them.
