Yes to chaos boon, no to priest having it.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Why do you think that pries is suited for that boon? We quite decided to use him as a a missionary
Because we have someone in need of a boon and want to give someone a Chaos boon. (I personally suggest we give the priest a Life boon of the healing variety. Again.)

I think that alchemist with chaos boon can produce some interesting things. We just need to care that he does his experiments in a safe place
No place is safe when you're an alchemist with a Chaos boon.

perhaps the right person hasn't revealed themselves to us yet. When the right person to wield the power of chaos comes along we'll know?

Fuck no, we're chaos! Choose the baddest ass from the village and give them the boon. And tell him I want to see some goddamn flaming cake monsters out on the battlefield!

I am against giving chaos boon just for the sake of chaos. Chaos+life for mutating power may be more viable... but still

In fact, we are smart chaos god and understand that  power shouldn't get overused...

I think judging by our actions we are a benevolent God of Life, with minor flavor of chaos and fire. And I like it that way... Maybe, maybe fire can be used more. Make minor artifact weapons, develop firebased crafts, build fire related megaproject or burn away army or two

Chaos should be a booster for two other skills

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

We are Chaos. We are like a 11-dimensional 100 sided die. Give the chaos boon:

He gets control over chaos, able to confuse enemies into attacking each other, corrupting the earth to be inhospitable to enemies, causing random weather occurences, ability to summon flaming cake monsters, and the ability to grant random minor boons of his own (though not as powerful as ours)
To the baddest ass in the village. Why should Chaos be a booster? It is unique in and of itself.

If we are going to do a chaos boon we should make it deflect spell back at enemies. Instead of doing random stuff that has the potential to hurt us.

Don't call other people stupid. If it's a joke, remember text doesn't transfer that well.

The problem with simply infusing something with chaos is it isn't always benificial. Remember, we used Chaos with the trees and it turned them hostile to us until we spent even more mana to turn them back to us.

Besides, we aren't random chaos, we're change and innovation. Krait seems a bit more random chaos. I'm sure there's already a madgod out there, there's already evil gods, fascist gods, whatever. Let's play a game where people don't shout magma and burn the world for the hell of it. I'm so tired of those games.

What games have you been playing where people (as in the protagonist) burn the world for the hell of it?  Genuinely curious because to me it seems like almost all games put the protagonist in the role of a good guy.  If anything being "evil" would he a break from the ordinary, not something you're accustomed to.

That aside I agree about us not being "evil just for lols" or whatever.  I think we should do our best to do whatever is in our best interest, while still being reasonable when possible and most of all let's just try and keep things interesting and fun for as many players as possible.

I suggest that the chaos boon be a boon which lets one reshape things. That's incredibly versatile.

Need to fix a tool? Warp the edges together!
Someone attacking? Turn their legs into arms and their arms into legs!
Food shortage? Turn rocks into loaves of bread!
Etc.
