King Ash:
--- Quote from: TheCuriousFan on November 16, 2012, 10:54:28 PM ---Michael's faith was only enough to get him victory against 3 or 4, and faith doesn't stop spells, they probably needed to have supernatural backup of some description if they were trying to take on Red Court forces.

Can you show a quote on that? Because Michael's faith sans Sword at the very least was able to block Mavra's spell.
DRFacts:
I seem to remember Michael shaking off vampires like water at one point in the aftermath of the party. He could quite probably clean a handful of ramps with his sword without much difficulty. A sword could have come across with Cortez, or perhaps other stuff in kind. In fact, given the ability of wizards, I could hardly imagine that the conquest of the Americas was done without wizardly knowledge or help at some level.

--- Quote ---"I'm told that He helps those who help themselves," I said. "We've got to get out of here."
Michael's armor clinked as he looked around. "They've blocked the exits."
"I know. How many of them can you handle without the Sword?"
"If it was only a question of holding them off ..."
"But it isn't. We may have to punch a hole through them."
Michael shook his head. "I'm not sure. Maybe two or three, Lord willing."

King Ash:
Sorry TCF, I should have been more clear. I was asking for a quote on Faith not stopping spells because as I stated Mavra's spell is blocked by Michaels glowing cross.. I agree that Michael doesn't seem able to punch a hole in them with his faith.
Actually we have a bit of a conundrum regarding faith and the Rampires.
We have
--- Quote ---A vampire lurched toward Thomas, while another reached out to grasp Susan. She thrust her cross in its face, but unlike with Mavra, the wood did not blaze to light. Faith magic isn’t always easy to work, even on vampires, and the Red Court, creatures with a more solid hold on reality than the more magical denizens of the Black, were not so easily repelled.

--- Quote ---Faith is a power of its own, and one even more elusive and difficult to define than magic. A symbol of faith, presented with genuine belief and sincerity, is the bane of many an otherworldly predator—and one of the creatures most strongly affected were vampires of the Red Court.

Hmm, forgot about that, I doubt it's an always on feature though. Though I suppose this means we can add blocking spells to the list of things faith can do.
