Re: [HOE] Faith and Protection

[toadpooka@juno.com]

That depends on what you consider a major threat.  Protection won't help
against an HI caseless round, an atomic blast, a duststorm, starvation,
radiation, wild animals or scavenging muties.  It would protect against
abominations, but not that effectively.  I'd even go and make Servitors
immune to the miracle.  I think the main reason is that the mechanics for
Blessed miracles would've been a waste of space in HoE, and the faiths
that are presented in the book aren't like normal religions.  If you want
the Glow to protect you from a werewolf, learn Nuke.
I don't have the Blessed rules with me, but do they have to make a test
o' Faith roll when a miracle like Protection fails?  I think that might
be a good idea.
