((I don't know when you'll split actions and roll separately for each, so I just can't make precise calculations. I blame you.
Oh. Well, fair enough.

How much energy would it cost to create a link to every follower of mine that allowed them to use "Miracles" (drawing upon the power of a God) instead of "Magic"?

I want them to use their powers to shapeshift and also to destroy, so I wanted to create a system which could only draw on my energy when I wanted to (smaller miracles not requiring the use of my energy points, and stronger ones sucking one power point from my bank), and whoever of my followers made use of a portion of the godlike energy would need to pray massively after battle and give me back that one point.))
Hm. If I'm understanding you correctly, you basically want them to be able to access your divine power when you let them, in order to utilize it for a specific set of purposes?

Hm... that's probably above even Divine Life, but not necessarily by very much. If you want each one to be the potential caster of fully god-scale miracles, that might push it up quite a bit, though; the lesser function of "they can use tiny bits of their god's divine power instead of magic to shapechange or blow things up" is considerably easier. Only being able to when you give the go-ahead also pushes it up somewhat.

((I accept it. Especially because I want it to be something like this:

Mage: Writes treaties on animal life, quantum magic and whatever.
-Battlefield: O my dormant power which has stood still for eons, BLOW THAT SHIT UP! *Shit gets blown up*

My people: Battle, eat, battle, sleep, battle, wake up, battle, brush teeth, battle...
-Battlefield: O God, BLOW THAT SHIT UP! Pretty please. *Shit gets blown up*

I wanted lesser amounts of shit blowing not to require calling me, unless they are the equivalent of High Priests and have exerted enough of the smaller miracles to ask for a bigger amount of power (like the type an archmage would use).

I will also restrict their numbers, I don't want every and each one of my people to be able to cast miracles, I like the Badass Normal archetype too much for that to happen.))

You can help us. Idathoras is large and I want it to be a wild place.

Split the dwarves into two populations, expel one group deep into the earth. They will keep their mentality as is. Keep the other above ground and make them a varied people with different emotions and goals. Create an island above mount Onnett. Populate it with living, levitating statues made of Arcanium, an ore hidden deep within the mountains that will help the Dwarves in their time of need. Put Arcanium in the mountains.

It was now done. The sinister crown which Mavet never wanted to make. But the sudden vanish of power made him craft it, in slight fear, and it had become even more powerful than Mavet had intended. This item should never find its way to mortal hands.

Mavet will wear the Crown of Bones himself.

Create the Skull Banner, a banner that will remove any fear of death from those near it, for warriors should never fear death in the battlefield. The banner will take the life of its wearer after he/she let's go of it.

This morning I found myself looking at the numberplates of the cars on my drive in to work and seeing them as tileset characters in ASCII... a silver Renault I was behind had an interesting scene of a Human wrestling a Minotaur near a bin.

I would not mind help at all. Also my goal is to have muptile gates on every landmass/ nation if we get to that point. Unless I fuck up epically the should be safe, though the area around them will be quite a bit more terrfying and savage.

Or I could just stick it in the wilderness and call it a day. They more than likely will go through the portal and be killed by terrible monsters. Also the portals will require a) a ritual b) my support or c) a hell of a lot of bravery.

But the question is that does your tribes have mindless devoation to a cause or actual bravery?

Every time I go to post I can't recall what I was going to do....

Ferren sits idle, continuing to gather more and more power.
