Praying needs.
« on: January 10, 2023, 10:24:35 am »

Since the prayer needs dont really work I suggest to make them simplified. That is you can have one need to pray to a nonspecific god and one need to pray to a personal god. The nonspecific one would be satisfied just by praying to anything (just go and pray) and the personal one must be to one of the personal gods/dieties. Either one the dwarf has would satisfy the need.

This way you wont have dwarves with 8 gods go around being worried they havent prayed to every single one of them all the time. Also you can tweak how often dwarves need to do either and have them change depending on personality. Personal god prayer being more rare on most dwarves would be an example. You could also have the priests be able to go out and satisfy personal prayer needs which would also satisfy help somebody need for the priest.

+ as far as i gather, polytheistic societies already tend to have a preferred aspect, but keep the rest of the pantheon in mind for living their daily lives so this seems apt.
