Right now the only ways you can increase your priestly skill are by getting a unique item (one for holy, one for unholy) or becoming a prophet. Right now, a race that has level 4 priests has certain advantages over a race with level 2 priests. If you make experience turn level 2 priests into level 3, you weaken the level 4 races.

Edit: I forgot the crystal shield can increase priestly skill in combat. Thanks to Graeme Dice for pointing this out. Also, I never knew communion raised priestly skill.

OK, but please note I *wasnt* talking about raising the priest level at all. That would certainly destroy much of the game, as you say. I simply meant a slight increase to the chance of success when preaching in a province, that is all.
