Enderopez:

I'd rather have Keepers Holy3 at best, Vyedmas and others 2. Sure they were very religious, but there are no mentions of highly developed priests. Some sources say that for a while Slavs had no priest caste whatsover. Priests appeared a bit later, althrough still a long time before christianisation came. That's my reasoning for keeping Holy relatively low.

I think the witches will stay with their Astral Nature Holy. Holy is quite flavourful for witches; astral and nature are simply requirement for curses/charms/divination/fortune telling healing/shapeshifting/herbalism. And like someone said, (I think it was RR) giving witches 3 or more paths would make them too wizard-like.

I'm toying with new spellcaster idea:
Guslarz (or other less Poland specific name if I can find one)
Holy2 Nature1 ElementalRandom1

Guslarz is a word for minor(?) priest/mage. They would conduct village ceremonies at holidays etc.

A question: does Holy influence research speed ? It complicates matters if it does.

One more thing. I just added some insightful quotes to the bottom of 3rd post. It makes some parts of my post redundant, but I may break something if I simply pull out overlapping parts.
