DF: Still can't challenge the Swashbuckler

I had intended to look at the cleric's spells and give my thoughts on those. Bless is by far their most powerful spell. It's probably in the top five in the book. It warps the game in ways nothing else does. I've seen players, and been one of the players to do this, go extremely far out of their way to keep two- and three-point Bless spells active all the time. That spell alone is worth hundreds of character points. It's just about the biggest force multiplier you can get. The power of the Bless spell can't possibly be overstated. It's like giving the bomb to Alexander the Great.

Something of an exaggeration; I'd rate a 1 point bless at around 70 points (+1 to all rolls, with a Magic source, plus a one-use Serendipity that ends your bonuses), and 2-3 point blesses have significant cost to cast. It's still a grossly overpowered spell, but probably less than 200 points of of overpowered.
