Holy Wars

[Kaiser2]

I do understand, I'm just saying, newbs are many, but they are weak.

Be it a war or a turney, the number of participants on each side has to be limited... maybe at random, maybe by some pre-contest... Also, perhaps there's a way to even out the numbers by NPCs, to fill up the ranks of either side with illusions... and I think the winner's advantage should be temporary, like more grace - or better, less for the loser.

Perhaps a good prize would be some sort of item for each winner that is related to their god. Like, for Brigid followers, light armour that gives high physical resistance (since they can't use weapons) and some speed. Or for Govannon followers, powerful armour that boosts slow and confuse resistance. For Ogma followers, a club that strongly poisons and boosts magic resistance. Et cetera.

Names could be things like ..

Leather armour of Brigid
Heavy platemail of Govannon
Orcish club of Ogma

You should also exclude artifacts (and possible tourney-prices) from the event - so followers of a past winner-god don't have an advantage next time (at least, not more than they already have...)
