I'm not sure whether you mean that you didn't understand _what_ I was trying to do or whether you mean you didn't understand _why_ I was trying to do it, so I'll explain both. What this action does is define doctrine within the religion. This is similar to defining laws for a government. Doctrine guides the growth of custom. As to _why_ I'm trying to this: First, it gives the other players an idea of what Exquaestio is like. Second, I'd hoped your response would provide more information about the religious situation. Third, I'd hoped the results would tell me what areas are potential allies and which are potential enemies. And finally its a simple action to get the idea of how the system works. >*Resolution:* Diff = Normal (0) + Dice (-000) + Extras () = -1 Failure Why Normal?
