get rid of opposite religion damage altogether...problem solved. Seriously the increase damage from blessed weapon is good enough with out opposite religion damage added to it.

I don't see a reason for a non-religious character hitting any religion damage.

Another option is that there's no restriction for blessed items, but when you wear i.e. a Law blessed item, you're a part of that religion (devotion) and this way you hit+recieve religion damage.

thats not bad idea, though i still prefer keeping the this restriction and/or getting rid of opposite religion damage(the extra damage tek does to law ect) so non piety chars will have easier time in religion(thus increase of variety in religion).
But your last idea would not be restricting lets say baba/bard and priest interactions in hunting atleast,

tbh i think this is the way it should be.
it's not nice to see ppl outside the religion having their religious friends blessing their weapons and then turning into killing machines.
if they want to have power from a god, then join the religion.
we all know what happens with a barbarian and a blessed weapon :P
they can still do it if they join the religion. but no more friends benefitting from religious bless.


be glad this is still available for religious players even if not piety users. but maybe that'd help rangers having advantage over archers..


i agree with removing the special damage some religions make to some others.

Agree with this completely. I think the advantage has been marginally seen used more in PVP than PVM.

Where else would you get religion damage other than PvP? =P

This would make more sense then the current update. Although I see nothing wrong with the current update, I just think the idea you posted will make the more neutral players happy. As if you want to do something with one of the religions they force you to join, this goes along with guilds but I can't complain on how things are run.
