FAQ Rating: \*\* (21 reviews; 9 *, 7 \*\*, 5 \*\*\*, 0 \*\*\*\*)

  • Ugly art, presents the Divine as a barely better alternative to Hell.
  • Suffers from the White Wolf pathology that says all attempts to structure society are corrupt, and all who follow an ideal are dupes or con artists.
  • Overly complex, any usefulness needs to be extracted from between a confusing writing style and odd formatting. The weird art is either loved or hated.
  • Good layout, lots of different bells and whistles that can be separated from each other, a neat idea for differentiating between different flavors of an aura that could be useful for other types of auras.
  • The adventure in the back seemed remarkably ordinary (although the rules on pious magi are remarkably cool)
  • Good concept, but the rules seem to be a little too powerfully in favor of the Dominion, and the Pious Magus rules seem to have suffered major cuts.
  • Provides useful information about the Church, and some interesting bits on Pious Magi. Interesting material, in general. The artwork is jarringly dark.
  • Some aspects are usable, but not much; artwork is very disturbing.
  • Poor art, very tiresome to read, overpowered and has a very limited use.
