As far as a Humakti with a no magical healing geas goes, David Dunham expressed it best by stating:

>If it's a geas, it doesn't matter what the intent is. It's a stricture
>you've bound yourself to, and it's keeping it that's important. (The fact
>that following it makes you a better Humakti is immaterial, compared to not
>breaking your oath to Humakt.)

That was the point I'd overlooked. Thanks David.

On the subject of Humakti temples and Holy sites, I'm surprised that Humakt is such a power in Prax. There sees to be few or no significant holy sites. The most typical summary I'd received was:

>The only static Humakti Temple in Prax is a poky little one in Pavis, as far as
>I know. ... people think there are always Humakti at Tourney Altar
>The few Praxians who worship Humakt move with their tribes, and I don't know
>where and when they get together.

Given the number of waring factions in Prax, I'd have thought that there were more significant temples around. Bear in mind that it take a large'ish temple to gain the specialised cult magics. Maybee it's easier for Humakti to worship. Possibly they don't require fixed locations and large gatherings but just a few warriors and a sanctified sword (or other artifact).

Any commnets?

Paul.
