...must attack and fall upon them with a gallant bearing and a fearless heart, and, if possible, vanquish and destroy them, even though they have for armour the shells of a certain fish, that they say are harder than diamonds, and in place of swords wield trenchant blades of Damascus steel...

Oracles are actually already quite good in the vanilla game. Their magic can be powerful at high faith (sleep, don't act, silence and innocent are basically instant kills if used effectively), but what many people seem to have overlooked was sticks. Sticks are so good. They do only a little less damage than spears, have reaching and scale off MA. Actually oracles probably outdamage lancers until the ultimate spear shows up because you can stack MA on an oracle much better than you stack PA on a lancer. Meaning if you want a character that can hit really hard in melee (stacking MA and using two-hands, you get a 1 hit kill on most stuff, 2 on tougher things except bosses) and cast spells, oracles are the job to go for. They're not the best in either category, but they're good enough to be both deadly and very versatile.

I can't wait to see what the mod has done to make them OP.
