You guys really ought to. :D I chose Om as my God since Small Gods is my favorite non-Watch book of the series. I quite like the Aching books (as you might imagine from my picking a Feegle) and Rincewind is probably my 3rd favorite focus, followed by Weatherwax, and then Moist. The only book I didn't really care for was Monstrous Regiment. :\ (It felt too much like it was trying to make a point rather than be a humorous story. Not saying that his books can't have points - quite a lot of them do, like Thud! which is probably my favorite Watch book and is about racial tensions, using dwarves and trolls for those who haven't read it - but I dunno. Regiment just didn't click with me.)

About items, your character might start with some starting itmes. They will not be very powerfull/usefull, but they're things a character would have. These thigns might also be bio related, in which case they might be a bit stronger and stuff.

Added abbr's to show what I think they'd do mechanic wise, they also show his personality/mindset (I.E.: Unfaltering, Obsessed, Guardian)
Seems good. Also almost all golems are mute, but they come free with a board to write things on.

You'd get a crayon then. Anything special in mind for the weapon? ( Not that you'd get that immediatly, but maybe in time it's powers could be unlocked.)

Not really, just that it could 'challenge lesser gods' (which in discworld might be possible with a stick from what I see)

Challenging demigods can be done even whitout a weapon, surviving it is another part of the story. But generally the discworld is powered by narativium, which means that a million in one chance tends to crop out 9 times out of ten. Other examples exist, and there's a whole lot of strange stuff going on. But Yeah, you'll see.

Character Bio: Often mistaken for lawyer Reg Shoe, Greg had a stressful life of being asked to do legal work and attempted hiring as a lawyer, until he accidentally took a fruit away from a market without paying, and was shot dead by the Thieve's Guild. After coming back to life, he found he was still mistaken for Reg due to his recent demise. Fed up with it, Greg became a monk.
No problems, other then forgetting the racial adventages and confusing Reg Shoe( Dead right activist) with mister Slant ( Head of Guild of lawyers).

Death is one of my favorites, he is simply the best hero, the best!

Seems fine, exept that you can't really chose the disadvantages, and that you left them Blank.( Unless you want to be a good spaces watcher, in which case you should play a gargoulle.)
