Re: Dungeon Fantasy - Castle Defiant
There's no divine magic in Yrth (and in fact the setting is very deliberately agnostic) and healing priests are just priests with Magery and some healing spells. However, Dungeon Fantasy wizards are specifically banned from the Healing college in order to promote niche protection for Clerics (and a similar situation exists for Druids and the Plant and Animal colleges as well as the Weather subcollege). So using Dungeon Fantasy as written either means allowing Clerics and Druids (which is probably theologically contradictory besides not working within the setting) or extending the Wizard list into the banned colleges (and probably ideally making one or more variant templates for ecclesiastic mages). Alternately you could just not allow the banned templates or spells at all, and not have any non-alchemical magical healing available to the PCs, which is the simplest solution, probably.

That was the approach on Cidri, the similarly agnostic setting of The Fantasy Trip.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy - Castle Defiant
Actual priests and imams should still have Clerical Investment (the social advantage) but not Power Investiture (the Power Talent). It probably makes the most sense to make "Cleric" a lens for Wizards, Bards, and Scholars and replace Holy Warriors with a Mystic template.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy - Castle Defiant
Ah okay, now I understand, this is something I definitely gave no thought to. In my head I am looking at this as a DF campaign first and foremost, the fact that it is placed in Yrth is fairly incidental to me. To me Clerical Investment is just a form of magery in the larger context of Yrth.
