See my previous post concerning Direct Invocations.  DI's do *not* require
training at all.  If everyone needed to follow a set ritual for praying,
nobody would pray.  Every sincere prayer to a diety is a direct
invocation.  Obviously, most will fail, and the the person who prayed will
loose their (on the average) one faith add for a day.  No big deal -- and
they'll pray again when they are at church again next Sunday.  Every once
in a while, someone will get a minimal success.  Their child/spouse/parent
will actually rouse from that coma during the week.  And then they will
think -- Gee, I wonder if..., and their faith will, in a sense, be justified.

This is my justification for assuming that Direct Invocations do *not*
require focus, but rather only faith, and that there is no 'proper
training' associated with performing DI's.  After all, what kind of
religion would it be for the masses if the priests were *the only ones*
who any chance what so ever of askink for the god's help?

Not quite.  SK's Guide says 'faith plus focus adds', whereas the Rav SB
says specifically 'focus adds'.  Maybe I misremember, but didn;t the exact
phrase in the Rav SB say or imply something like 'one miracle plus a
number equal to the tzullat's focus adds'?

I do, however, agree that Jakatts should have access to all.

	Regarding Ravagons and their invisibility to Gaeans.  I think part of
it has to do with the Victorians simply not looking up and seeing what's 
there, but for them to be as unseen as the SB says, I would guess that it's
part of some Occult Rutual (tm) that the Gaunt Dude whipped up.  Something
along the lines of a "Somebody Else's Problem field".  So long as they 
aren't eating someone, people just don't notice a ravagon.  It's probably
limited to Gaea and the Orrorsh realm, but those with True Sight, or
the Loonies, can see what's really there.  It'd be a very difficult ritual
to enact, but considering that this _is_ the Gaunt Man, and he's got 
a zillion possibilities for Heketon to use, he could do it.  
It probably requires the Rav to carry some token of the GM's power for the
ritual to work, and that's why they're visible to everyone outside of 
Orrorsh.  (The Ritual would be a 4-case outside of Orrorsh, and since
Ravagons get _really_ unhappy when they disconnect, the GM will be 
sure that they don't have the Ritual cast on them when they leave.)

	One thing I noticed was that there are only around 20-30 Ravagons 
on Core Earth.  (A couple per realm, plus a few to watch Core Earth Stormers,
plus a few on Ravagon Island in Orrorsh)  That's not a lot, considering
they got their own sourcebook.  Of course, there may be more coming soon....

	I would have thought that there would be a small to medium sized 
pack of ravagons for each realm.  Only one Chosen (or Leader), plus a hunter
or two, plus perhaps a young one, on his/her first mission (perhaps one who
could be turned to the side of Good).
	
	I would have rather seen more writeups of the Named ravagons then 
the "Creatures of Tz'Ravok" section.  They'd be a lot more likely to be 
encountered than the few critters who escaped to Orrorsh.  (like the
icky nasty Occult loving Ravagon in the Nile Empire, she sounds neatokeen)
	And the Vampire Ravagon, ooooh.  But what does a were-ravagon 
turn into.  (Perhaps a were-ravagon turns into a human?)

	I do like the Ravs and reccomend the SB.

 Another Comment.  My mythology references state that the Greeks called
 this god Pluto or Hades, while the Romans called him Hades, Dis
 (translation of 'pluto'==rich, sort of), and more rarely Pluto.

 Nah. Just a staple of pulp/adventure fiction. I'm willing to bet every Nazi

Batman tv show, featuring guys wearing those black sweaters that said 'GOON
1' and 'GOON 2' on them...

I got the impression that there were a bit more than that, since Core
Earth is such a large place but there is still a reasonable chance
that a ravagon is within range of anyone Transcending.  Probably no
more than 100 though, with most of them scattered around the globe in
Core Earth zones.

I don't mind it so much for more background on what Tz'Ravok is like,
but it would have been a bit better if it hadn't taken up so much
space (since every creature got two pages due to maps and artwork.)

Well, it helps when the driver LEAPS out the door at double-digit mph while

I'm pretty sure they do say something about this.  Of course, I don't have
the SB in front of me...

I seem to recall that any two people with faith(Keta Kalles) can invoke
miracles without the focus skill.  I do not, recall, however, if they
specified what to substitute in this case for the focus skill.  I'd be
inclined to use the lower faith as focus, and the second faith for faith.

Only the Eastern Land is being screwed by the Land Below, so the US

truly get rid of the Living Land by WEG's vague deadline of "next

Just a comment, Pluto was a Roman god.  The Greek god the Romans copied Pluto 
from was Hades.

The Nile Empire expanding into Europe would be pretty cool, I agree.  And the 
Greek (and/or Roman) gods would be a good addition.  Sort of like the reverse of 
reality.  (The Romans conquered Egypt about 2000 years ago, and now Egypt can 
return the favor.)

Ok in an infiniverse recently, it was mentioned that two stelae were
burned out in Aysle. At first this had me confused as to what was going
to happen. But then it came to me. Of course the first one was
to raise the tech axiom one point so those dwarves can make bigger
Steam guns. But what of the other stelae burned out? After getting
the ravagon sourcebook, it came to me! It was to raise the SPIRIT to
17!! This was Aysle could be like the other cosms once the Living Land
is gone. I mean if Orrorsh, the Nile, Tharkhold, Ravagon, Land Below
are all going to be spirit 17... why not Aysle?

Sorry.. but I am tired of the (magic<17) and (spirit=17) cosms.

	And on a related note, how do those of you with Faith (Athiesm)
deal with the Athiest making his checks.  Lord Charnwyasr, a Demon 
Prince casts the magic spell "Pav Crush" or something.  He twiddles his
claws, and chants in Tharkholdu.  
	Next round, he twiddles his claws, chants in Tharkholdu and 
invokes the "Killmachine" miracle.  

	Should the Athiest know that the T-D is invoking a miracle 
as opposed to casting a spell?  Unless you're an expert on T-D 
lore, the effects and mechanism seem the same.

	Or is the Athiest a "miracle sinkhole" where _all_ miracles 
invoked in his presence have to beat his athiesm?
	[I really don't like the concept of an Athiest being able
to pick and choose which miracles he can block.  "Okay, Taztor, 
I'll let you heal our friend, but that nasty Priest of Ravok 
can't cast 'Earthquake' while I'm around."
