Factional Redesign of The Gift

[FutureSojourner]

I think that construction bonuses and architectural engineering would be pretty significant advantages just by themselves, especially together.

I like the idea of ALL Religion clans being able to learn healing; however, the Gift have always been about building and I would hate to see that replaced with a healing benefit.  I see the three main religions, who all worship the same God, focusing on different aspects of that God (The One True God).  

The Gift -- focus on Creation, the establishment of the material work.  Finding a connection with the OTG through the created world and making the majesty of the OTG manifest through building and construction -- seeing the OTG as "the Great Architect of Midgard."

The Ring -- focus on repentance through asceticism, prayer, contemplation and preserving the established order.  

The Banner - focus on evangelism and spreading the word of the OTG often by the sword.

All the religions should be somewhat adept at healing.  But the GIFT should excel at construction.  If that were taken away from the Gift I don't think I would ever want to play one!
