Re: Turning Undead
One of the issues I have with some of the solutions I've seen on these forums is the attempt to turn 'faith' into a talent. I think faith should be a role-playing choice and not something we attempt to apply mechanics to (at least not directly). As I've stated previously, the Priest/Theologian talents are really more about the 'business of religion' or the training in religious rites and tenets that one would associate with organized religious sects and as such, they do make sense as prerequisites for spells that might be learned in the context of those performances. It would be a mistake, however, to limit the practice of faith to only those characters who select those talents which leads to my conundrum in trying support faith-based powers using the existing spell/talent paradigm.
Hence my attempt to come up with a third option.

Re: Turning Undead
No, I should apologize since my intent was not to criticize or imply that your approach is lacking in any way. I find a great deal of inspiration in your ideas as well as others posted in this forum. I was simply trying to articulate some of my own hang-ups and biases as I attempt to find a solution that will work for the kind of campaign I want to run.

EDIT Found the thread but looks like you deleted the post. Basically, your original Piety (I commented that it seemed too crunchy to me at the time) was something like: You pass a check and you get some bonuses to certain things or karma points or something. There were a lot things in the list but none of them were spells/powers. And you mentioned that the GM would make it as a secret roll so you didn't know what the benefit was...you had to "take it on faith".

But now I'm tempted to turn Piety into some kind of religious form of the Wizard's Staff spells but less powerful and applies to holy symbols. I dunno. My brain is starting to slack-off. I might start another thread for that sometime.

Re: Turning Undead
I thought I read a thread somewhere that proposed this very thing... something about Talismans.

Re: Turning Undead
Don't know. I proposed something similar when Steve was posting about the new Staff spells.

Re: Turning Undead
Looking for feedback on my Channeling power set which includes some anti-undead abilities.
