Well, divine power means godly power(regardless of alignment), and not magic power.
But if you intend your character to be a heretic then you are suppose to be against the gods as well and shouldnt use divine power or wrath weapons i think.

i see no bad in heretics using weapons of different damtyope.

This point was sort of contested for a good while.  Now heretics "purify" changes certain damtypes to sound more heretic-y. (Divine Power changes to Zealous Rage if I remember right, for example).  Maybe you can ask a heretic to purify for you?

It's not about damtype its about RP. Why would herecy call on a gods power to aid them?

But Khant is not heretic yet so he can do whatever he wants. He just won't become herecy with actions like that. I doubt imms would punish though when he is not even a member.

why Vlor didnt fall of bashed horse?

It doesnt always happen with trip either.

I think the real question is how a 24 level heretic-wannabe-fighter got hold of such an axe? Found it on the ground?.... :P

Mob with it hits hard, but has lowish hp and no sanc, so it's possible. ;)

No.  I got it at rank 20-22 I think.
Fortunately monsters in Solace regenerate very slow, this monster sits in the room with a door. And boneshattering it, makes it lose an axe. Backhanding in defense with toughen (if I had it that time) makes miracles.
I do not know who you are, but I would say being so suspicious to everyone shows your real nature.
Whoever knows me, can admit - I always hated cheat and never (at least after first couple years of game) cheat myself. (including our russian famous friends-item-transfering and so on)

Holy power killed knights... I got pleasure to look on it again...

Vlor says, 'Perhaps gods will punish.
Vlor says, 'Souls.
Vlor says, 'Who use divine power.
Vlor says, 'And claim to hate magic. ------------------ Divine is not magic.
Vlor says, 'If i were god.' ------------------------------- WAS :)
Vlor says, 'And saw you useing that weapon. -----C'mon, even I can write it better :)
Vlor says, 'And claiming to hate magic.'
Vlor says, 'Boy.'
Vlor says, 'You would suffer. ---------------------------Yea solace RP at his best :)

So Rual I recommend you to ignore yet another moron, who has no idea about roleplay and actualy went out of his role if he has any?? :) As for divine power I think it is light/positive damage type and I do not see anything between axe you use and God's power :)

I could swear it is 'were' ::).
Anyways, what does bad english have to do with the subject?
IMHO, Heretic wannabe must have a hard life- no potions, no travelling with mages/priests (and at least leave groups whenever someone is casting) and no special weapons (divine is divine and not slash). Maybe purging by a Heretic member will solve this issue.

You are right about english.

 And you not right about divine power at least from my point of view. IMHO heretics wanna be already has hard life with no potions, healers, and traveling with mages/priests.. at least some of them :).
I do not really see point of strange idea what weapon with damage type divine(LIGHT) has something to do with Gods/Magic. I do not see your point really. But even if solace got some strange ideas about it, how someone who miss that change or newbie can know it?? For example I came back to solace from CF who  has much higher rp standarts but there were no any problems with heretics/divine weapons.

Not that I care but "divine power" means literally "божественная сила". ;)

"Divine" means godly, or of god... So it has something to do with gods... And the thing about Herecy is not that that they not only hate magic, but hate followers and the gods themselves.

If I recall correctly, in CF the Ragers fight against mages only (though they restrict themselves to minor clerical blessings, but still don't hate them outright), whereas in Solace they're against mages and clerics both, like Deda said.

Again though, this discussion has gone on before, the result of which was changing of damtype when weapons are purged.  The problem, then, is in a heretic applicant using them, rather than a heretic.  Maybe allow the barbarian to purge weapons for a fee or something? ;) Or maybe it's just a hardship to endure if you want to join heretics, that you have to wait until you're in to use nice weapons.

Since ever only ever joined Solamnia, what happens to all magic items the applicant is wearing when he/she is inducted?

They need to be purged.

Seems like it is acceptable to use magical or godly items before joining Heretics. . . I thought it must be hard to avoid such items when your not a heretic having need to use magic to see 'magic flag', but i never liked heretics using divine or wrath or elemental damage type weapons.

Makes sense to me rp-wise as they can't recall before joining heretics either, but really makes heretic assassin more appealing than other classes.

Applicants are not allowed to use any potions. As for magic items, I think it is kosher to wear it, because as applicat you can not see magic flag, unless it is autocast of course :)
Using healers in towns.. mmm I would say we should leave it to applicants but spamming heal heal heal and such at healer is not that great rp idea.

I am curious about people joining heretics after traveling with mage's or magi of the tower even?

Well, one can always say that he has seen the err of his ways.... ;D
Hell, I joined the Camp after admitting I used spells because the society I was a part of forced me to do it! ;)

Yes but I find it as lame excuse. But!!! numbers of players in solace are really low so I think such things can be forgiven in case that mage did not cast during exping :) since group (24) cler is ooc game mechanic :)

Nah, I was never a part of any spellcasting group. I mostly levelled solo until 25... That's why most of my skills were mastered BEFORE joining the Camp.
p.s. dark-elves have a LONG life span! 8)

So heretics are like D.A.R.E. (anti-drug crew)?

Nah, more like AAA gopas that still drink (but in secret from one another) ;D
