Why, in defiance of RPG culture, tradition, and logic, do mages have more buffs than priests?[/quote]

-- This game is based (loosely) on the ORIGINAL RPG game. Oubliette was a Multi Player RPG in 1977. Which is the same year that the original apple pc was invented, or about 5 years before most people had even heard of a pc.
So for you to spout "RPG tradition and culture" is nonsensical. The RPG culture may have diverged from its roots, but that doesn't make the roots wrong.
