I had a priest for quite a while, 80%+ skill, and I rarely got beaten
up by followers...I had to hide a couple of times, but this included
preaching behind enemy lines.

The thing that I ran into, and that bothers me most about priests, is
that they are target practice for infiltrators.  I realize that's
probably halfways realistic, but seriously how fun is it for the
priests?  Can't one of our followers run up and take the knife for us?
 There's gotta be something that can be done to stop priests being the
free academy for infiltrators.
