Check on page 106, in the Wizardry section. I quote: "A blessing
provides an augmenttion to an area or entire congregation, while a
successful curse causes the target or targets to take a penalty."
What it means, and the way I intend to use it (if I do), is that the
target of the blessing is the group in its whole instead of
individuals.
As for community support, simply assume an ordinary support
normally, and give a relationship test to the liturgist if he wants
a higher bonus to give.
On a side note, I'm working on a different system for orderlies
(mostly) and adepts, to make the orderly more useful and less
redundant. I'll be posting it here eventually.
On another side note: hey everyone! Just joined this group ;).
