Hey, Jester, If you're going to let people have gods.
Then perhaps having such a potent ancestor would have a few.. drawbacks?
I mean, If you're tapping the power of such a powerful being, then perhaps something more than just power flows through you?
The more you pull on the power of a divinity, the more their personality holds sway over you.
In the case of Kali, when you get mad, you get violent. Constant urges to smash and destroy assault you when you are even the tiniest bit annoyed.
Otherwise, I'm also taking a god if you aren't going to make it less appealing.
