I'm trying to scale things *up* so we can look at e.g. quests by Jar- backed by religious support from the whole Lunar Empire, not just quests by the Aranwyth Tribe or the Greydog Clan. This is why I thought it worth noting that Disciples can fit into the paradigm.
Or do you think Jar-Eel is *always* accompanied on HeroQuests by *every* Lunar Disciple who thinks she is a Good Thing?
Good point on logarithms, BTW: this is why I was going for "laymember equivalents" rather than fixed bonuses -- you'd then convert them into a bonus on an exponential/logarithmic (powers-of-two?) scale.
When the Lunar Empire or Kralori Empire puts its weight behind something, it can generate community support from MILLIONS of worshippers. I want a system robust enough to cope with this.
Cheers, Nick
