As I said, an off the cuff description
> Add : Know <Herd Animal> ?
I assumed that tending was subsumed into herding.
I'm not willing to propogate the infinite division of skills that plagued RuneQuest. I think that its a bad idea. And, if I added in all the proposed additions you've made, I'd have more abilities for Herder than for Warrior or Hunter.

Mmm. Good thought. I was going with the style of abilities already present.

THAT'S the one I was thinking about.

No. The herd can't do you favors. Re-check on how relationships work...

Heler possibly but not Nevala. That's a woman's goddess.
Barntar is probably good too for the more casual herder.

No, that's a woman's goddess - check the restrictions in Ernalda.

I've been told that Voriof doesn't actually have a large cult since once one becomes an adult. Apparently some folks think its strictly for boys. I've been using adults for Vorioff the Shepherd but its hardly a respectable vocation.
