GURPS has an optional magic system called "Syntactic Magic"; in it, instead of having highly specific spells as Skills with Skill levels (as is the case with the default magic system...Ignite Fire-14 or Fireball-12 are rolled against 3d6 the same as Fast-Talk or Knife), there are magical words as Skills such as "Fire" that cost much more than regular spells yet are broader in scope. "Fire-15" would cover not only literal exothermic reactions such as that localized burning (i.e., Ignite Fire) and spherical projectile (i.e., Fireball), but thematically-related concepts such as a person's "fire"/passion (so you could - with the right argument to the GM - roll against Fire-15 to make someone feel full of ardor) as well. Although this alternative can be greatly unbalancing (therefore requiring more ad-hoc approvals from the GM), it does makes the process of spellcasting more poetic.

Despite my markedly different personality (in reality), the opportunity to play a Cleric/Priest brings much enjoyment. I like being the core support for a group; this role may not snag as much glory, but it's still appreciated in its own way and it sidesteps certain burdens that the other classes must shoulder. The Specialty Priests of AD&D 2e's Forgotten Realms (i.e., my stomping ground of choice) help in this regard because... 1. They quickly break any association between the Cleric and the Abrahamic faiths (a strong influence on the D&D class); there are only a handful of gods that come close (thematically speaking). 2. There is a ton of background to go with each religion. Rarely am I hurting for details or inspiration. 3. Not all of them share the default Cleric's ability to wear the heaviest armors, use similar weapons, repel/destroy Undead, raise the dead or even - in rare instances - the ability to cast the most potent curative magics! There are real tradeoffs to take into consideration.

Useful, if you're fighting Alan Scott.

A few of us are already covered: we've got faces only an AI could love...or render.

Bushido was so perplexed, he accidentally invented a new language.

A toss up between... "A beauty? She is one without peer. The Lady has had many statues erected in her honor." "...among other things." or "What his armor will not deflect, I am sure his skull will."

In my experience, when it comes to instances of blocked YouTube videos, the overwhelming majority of restrictions occur either in Australia or Germany. You haven't offered me any bratwurst as of late, so...
