A long while back in a conversation on the old email list you said that you had made some preliminary work and notes for the Bajoran book.
Among which was mention of 'Pagh' as a courage replacement.
Now that all the LUG work is either published, cancelled or due for conversion (in at least 1 lucky case).
Is it possible that you could share your notes on this one with us, or is this one aspect that was submitted and WotC property and therefore lost?
I would be interested in the use of this, and even the design notes to help me work out some system for Klingon Honour based on Glory in Way of D'era...

That stuff was all part of the material submitted to WOTC, so I can't post it here or the like. However, we're doing something similar for the Decipher Trek RPG, so you'll eventually get to see more or less the same thing.
Basically, Pagh Points worked identically to Courage Points, but with a religious element. If the Prophets favored what you were doing, you'd recover them quicker or get more effect from them. Conversely, if you turned away from the Prophets, you could lose them (typically replacing them with plain ol' Courage).
Additionally, through the Detect Pagh Psionic Skill, Bajoran mystics could determine how much Pagh you had, its quality, and so on.
Thanks Steve. Its good to hear that a similar mechanic is on its way, and your insight will help me cobble together a home-brew version for any suitable characters...
