I've been playing a low-level Gorokh player, and I have found it horribly debilitating. The lack of healing spells makes normally survivable stuff like a poisoning fatal instead of survivable by means of using minor healing. Also, it is much harder to do an emergency-repair job. The net result is that as a Gorokh priest I die about 3x as much as I would with another religion. I've also enjoyed no benefit to using the religion: without high-end artifacts such as the Ring of Elrond I'm not able to get the Wis quite high enough to get any of the spells by means of prayer. Getting to use "cause serious wounds" is not sufficient compensation for the lack of healing spells. PeterM
