I have to know, Buz - when you talk about evil, like this, to people, do you pronounce it "eee-vill"? It seems like you would have to, to get the point across.
WARNING! DO NOT, I SAY, DO NOT EVER CONFRONT SUPERNATURAL EVIL WITHOUT INVOLKING THE NAME OF JESUS.
Don't forget a few vials of holy water, too. It does 2d4 holy damage against demons and undead.
But more seriously, thanks for that little tidbit. Does it work for atheists? Or will Jesus be mad that I'm invoking his name after years of rejecting his faith?

At any rate, if you get into it with the spiritual evil, my advice is to go for it, the name of Jesus, that is.
I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I doubt, however, that I have a high enough Charisma score to make a decent turning check. I simply can't turn undead or evil extraplanars with more than one or two Hit Die. (I wonder if Buz even knows what I'm referring to.)

Re: So that's it! They think it's real!
Now I think I see why Christians are so scared of Harry Potter.
Pretty much.
What really gets me is where people like Buz draw the line: "All-powerful superman in the sky? Sounds reasonable. Wedding guest transmutes water to wine? Gotcha. We're eating bread and wine, but somehow it's also flesh and blood, even though it hasn't changed in any way? I believe it!
"Angels and demons that can't be seen or felt but can affect our minds? You know that's true. The Bermuda triangle? Incontrovertable! Aliens and UFO's? The truth is out there!
"The idea that natural processes could be responsible for the development of life on earth, which is supported by all the scientific data to date? Woah, buddy - isn't that a little far-fetched?"
It's hilarious to me.
