Lords Of Creation 14 (OCC)

[Philote]

I was referencing the domains you had yet to reveal

[Philote]

Since we are trying to test the limits of the rules, and we will be swapping characters randomly, how are we going to explain the mood swings within the story? Or are we just going to ignore it and let people swap up play style as they like?

[Zaleramancer]

I'll post a list of choices.

Everyone picks a god they like.

First come, first serve.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Excellent.

[Zaleramancer]

Demi-Gods to Choose

Tel

Demi-God of Rip-Tides

Power: 2
Precision: 1
Perception: 1
Presence: 0

Water Nature (Passive) (1): Tel can survive within any portion of the ocean; he swims with great speed.

Tidal Strength (Active) (1): Tel may add this skill to his Power for the purpose of preforming feats of strength.

Tool of Office

Tel's Mystic Net can expand to cover even the largest of foes and it clings such that no creature of Tel's Power or lower may escape easily.

Mar

Demi-Goddess of Oak Trees

Power: 0
Precision: 2
Perception: 0
Presence: 2

Tree-Stride (Active) (2): Mar may animate a number of trees equal to her Precision for a number of turns equal to her Presence.

Tool of Office

Mar's Staff of Power can double the size of any living creature, and allows her to heal or regrow plant-life.

Po

Demi-God of Fireflies

Power: 0
Precision: 0
Perception: 3
Presence: 1

Bug-Sight (Passive) (1): Po can see from the perspective of any firefly within a number of yards equal to his Perception.

Flaming Bugs (Active) (1): Po can cause any number of fireflies in range of his Bug-Sight to radiate immense heat for two turns.

Tool Of Office

Po's Gauntlets allow him to cling to walls. They also allow him to fire off bolts of heat energy.

Dash

Demi-God of Acrobatic Dancing

Power: 2
Precision: 2
Perception: 0
Presence: 0

Deadly Dodge (Active) (1): Dash may dodge and counter a single attack. This skill may not be used on sequential turns.

Agility (Passive) (1): Dash is inhumanly fast and agile. She may preform feats of parkour with the utmost ease.

Tool of Office

Dash's Belled Anklets allow her to effortlessly avoid the attacks of any unexceptional mortal.

Keth

Demi-God of Khopeshes

Power: 1
Precision: 1
Perception: 1
Presence: 1

Sword Master (Passive) (1): No mortal, and few demi-gods, can match Keth's power with the Khopesh.

Ruling Power (Active) (1): Any mortal being defeated by Keth must serve him loyally. Keth may only have one mortal serving him with this power.

Tool of Office

Keth's Khopesh can slice through any non-divine material, and any divine material made by a god with less than two Precision, like a proverbial hot knife through the proverbial butter.

[Philote]

Po please

[Philote]

Let me check if I have this correct:

One mote every other day, we begin with 12, Religious orders are the only way to increase mote gain, planes store extra motes.

Any other mote related things I'm missing?

[Zaleramancer]

Nope.

Keep in mind you start with those stats.

None of the infrastructure that other deities enjoy. The foe you face will have, among other things, Servitors/Mythical Beings/Races/Artifacts.

Established and comfortable.

While you guys- aren't

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I'll take Dash.

And I'm wondering. If this story does end up translating into canon, can a Pantheon Leader change the domain of deities under them?

[Zaleramancer]

We'll see.

We'll see.

[Philote]

You could just add the domains you want in addition to what they already have. Have a mix of Acrobatic Dancing and Purity for example.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Well, yes, that is possible. But, I prefer the intangible. They tend to be less do-without-able. Likely, she will become a goddess of something like an emotional or psychological state.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

[Zaleramancer]

Should I or shouldn't I post the stats for everything on the apposing team..

Hmm.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Do that, please.

[Philote]

Wait, Religious Orders are the only way to gain extra motes, but they are also an inherent action that only requires a race to activate. That seems like an easy way to ramp up mote gain.

[Philote]

Zale wrote

A deity may not receive motes from more than one order, but may have as many orders as they can adequately manage. Unless severely neglected, all priests of an order are assumed to be wholly loyal to the god they serve.

Never mind, just noticed this.

So maximum you can get is two motes every other day?

[Zaleramancer]

Yes.

Of course, the invasion of an enemy island probably isn't the best time for the birth of a race.

[Zaleramancer]

Your Foes

Gods

Cothal

Lesser God of Caves

Power: 2
Precision: 3
Perception: 2
Presence: 0

Land Sense (Passive) (2): Cothal may add this skill to his Perception for the purpose of sensing things within cave systems.

Earth Glide (Passive) (2): Cothal moves through rock and stone like a fish through water.

Tool of Office

Cothal's Flute creates illusions and mirages when played; Only gods with a perception of three or higher may see through them, though obvious evidence of their falseness will dispel them.

Artifacts

Layman's Sword (Artifact): Grants masterful fighting prowess to the wielder.

Cloak of Darkness (Divine Artifact): The user may become one with the darkness, for better and worse. They are unable to be struck my physical weapons or attacks, and are nigh impossible to detect in areas of shadow. However, they become weak to light and non-physical attacks.

Power: 0
Precision: 2
Perception: 2
Presence: 0

Stone Wall (Active) (2) Ather may enhance walls or buildings, protecting them from offensive powers.

Water Nature: While they cause water to steam and boil, they can swim and survive easily underwater.
