Actually, Corvus would use his knowledge as a tool to teach others and to provide assistance. He already knows anything every living thing does, so why would he need to know everything else? If anything, he'd be providing teaching.

Is that to me? Corvus is clearly not a craftsman. And he's shown no interest thus far in subjective and qualitative knowledge. What you'd more properly call opinion and perception rather than knowledge.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I didn't say he was a craftsman, and how would he have shown interest in anything except staying alive? As previously stated, he spent most of his turns trying to increase the chances of not dying horribly from lack of worship.

[Gervassen]

Well, when he sent scholars out to teach people, it appeared that he was teaching rather generalised knowledge rather than specific skill sets involved in creative activities and the ability to subjectively evaluate the results. Note well, I don't even claim to be a "teaching" god. I don't disavow that claim, either. People can learn from me as I craft, but my purposes are not to establish a curriculum and become a professor.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

He never sent out scholars, except to teach Az-Sho's children agricultural stuff, as per their deal.

[javierpwn]

Send some scholars to the bottom of the Sea! Shades need love too!

[IamanElfCollaborator]

They're mortal scholars and I only have a couple; my cult's about, at most, 20 people, and I've sent some to Az-Sho's Children as teachers of agricultural stuff and other survival crap.

[Gervassen]

Act: Disguise myself as a human, wandering among mortals and preaching the word of Corvus in the hope that I gain more followers.

Minor Act: Send the most intelligent Crowblessed to the Children, to aid them.

I was thinking of this part. Anyway, I can't see the overlap. My character wouldn't be interested in teaching agriculture unless the wheat was of the very best stock, being put into a sumptuous banquet by the most skilled cooks. He's on the more rarified end of the knowledge curve.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

So, essentially, he's a lot more...vain? Obssessed with value?

As I explained, the Children of Az-Sho being taught agriculture are part of an agreement between me and Az-Sho to assist each other.

[Gervassen]

Hahah. Yeah, exactly. Close enough, anyway. I thought his appearance was a giveaway.

you just don't wanna share!

Just because they are dark, you don't wanna share with them....Thats obviously racist!

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Dude, Corvus is a CROW. The animal he took the form of is associated with the dark.

[javierpwn]

Also murder....treachery....,,Death....

(And sometimes knowledge.....Owls are better for knowledge.)

[IamanElfCollaborator]

The irony being that Corvus is a pacifistic honorable crow who would rather preserve than destroy life.

[Gervassen]

If you know the minds of all mortals, then you must be privy to many murder plans and usurpations and criminal  enterprises. Why not step in and break those up? That would be honorable, preserve life, and maybe net you some followers. Just a suggestion.

[javierpwn]

Create an ethereal race of pure knowledge!
