Can't various Saints potentially fill deific type roles?

And this made me very much think of the 1st Ed Joy of Cooking

Devotional powers work a little differently in Yrth, but allowing saints and warrior saints is, IMO, not too far from that, as long as you preserve the mystery.

I don't see why "wizards can learn any spell" is really all that disruptive to Dungeon Fantasy though.

Well, I was actually thinking 'Instead of a Cleric of the Deity of Cooking have a Cleric of the One God focused on the Saint of Cooking"

That way you still have all those fun DF 7 specialist clerics

For me, the issue is more with demonstratively active deities and divine spell-casting in the first place, not with having specialized domains.

Again though, what exactly does adding Clerical Investment to the wizard and scholar advantage lists, and not restricting the spell list actually break?

Neither do I and I never have. In fact, being able to learn healing spells as wizardly spells was one of the big draws for me in being persuaded to try GURPS. And the DF mode of play is basically all I want to do on tabletop.
