[UA] Fantasy/UA crossover

I've been working on a campaign frame for d20 D&D for a while now (what can 
I say, they are just so darn pretty) and it's going pretty well so far (I've 
got these nifty elves that photosythesize and a strict monotheistic orcish 
culture, but I'm getting hung up on the dwarves and humans; but I digress).

This, along with the competing cosmologies thread and the thread about using 
d20 in UA got me thinking about a UA/D&D crossover idea. It could be great 
for a short-term wild adventure set. How about it? Each fantasy race (elf, 
dwarf, human; hell, even the NPC races like goblins and kobolds) has it's 
own little Invisible Clergy that they are trying to fill up. The first one 
to 333 gets the prize. I'll have to expand some more on this when I'm not so 
dang tired.

I think the other reason this idea spawned itself is cause I'm having a 
terrible time reconciling UA's magick system based on meaning and ritual and 
obsession (the best I've ever read, btw) and D&D's lifeless, meaningless 
point-and-click method. There's not even any significant reason to separate 
cleric from a sorceror other than spell choice. But that's another rant 
entirely.

Later
