My character follows Valriel, and I haven't seen that.

I got some great bonuses, and the light ability makes life a lot easier
in dark dungeons.

So I don't get wounds or disease.  The holy word/orb/etc. works on
undead and on demons.  I started leveling against undead, then went to
certain areas where I knew there were one or two demons and used holy
word on them to get more points (i.e., such as the basement of the Tower
of the Stars and the 2nd Slave Pit in Wolfsberg with the raas).

Do I use clerical as much as others?  Not as much as physique but my
character started as a fighter.  More than magic, though, since it's
much more reliable.
