> The way this would work is that the good imm’s, if they see someone of outstanding roleplay, heroism, and self-sacrifice (I can’t think of any off the top of my head.. maybe Fortcoeur), they would grant them sainthood. The requirements would be the following:
>
> 1) Must have good alignment.
> 2) Must win the approval of all the good imm’s.
> 3) Must be a hero.
> 4) Must have a tattoo (because he must be religious).

> -permenant sanctuary affect, and resistance to positive and negative.
> -loss of 1 con each death
> -Immunity to defilement and wrath type attacks.
> -Stats now max out at 25 each.
> -Bonus of 500 to max hp/mana.

> Radiance, this skill acts similar to the golden aura of knights, except that it is far more potent. It grants a combination of bless / protection from evil as if it were cast at level 60 upon all member of the saint’s party (including the saint). Further, all evils in the room face a wrath, weaken, curse commune, and all evils in the area must endure a curse commune.

> In summary, the saint would have to be a paragon of his religion, and also prove his worth to all the other light walking imms. He would recover his lost vitality through acts of kindness and virtue (standing in direct contrast to the lich, who recovers their strength through the slaughter of countless foes).

> Anyway, I think this would work well. It’s completely different than the lich, as any class can become a saint. Further, it’s not even something you can actively quest for, it would just stand out there as a reward for the goodies, something to shoot for. Work really really hard, and you may just make it. It’s always nice to have a goal.
