We all could've acted differently, but the way we did was the way we thought was IC.
Besides, knowledge Jesus will do well with converting; he is a god made manifest, after all.

You also don't need an act to disguise as a human...
Maybe it's like a 1 act strength fleshy armor?

I need more acts to actually do what I'm planning. I have a normal act and a minor act. It's not a problem to you, as you're fuelled by your own slightly bigger cult and the pantheon. As for me, I have barely any acts. Knowledge is hard to come by in this time of insanity, and even harder to retain, so it does make sense that it is hard to play as the god of it.

Also, what would other gods gain? I'm barely a blip in most god's radars.


I used an act to ensure it was only a guise, not an avatar. Udil and any guy with soulkilling crap can obviously kill me, but a mortal with a sword isn't going to do anything except piss me off with it, as opposed to running me through with said sword and killing the avatar.

You are a God. You could melt an offending mortal's head just by GLARING at them.

Doesn't mean I'd be able to if he ran me through with a soulkilling sword or hammered me with Thaneos' hammer of kill everything.


Also, why kill a mortal when you can merely glare at them, giving them a severe headache? It's less messy and fits my dislike of having to fight or spill blood.

I'd like to remind everyone that that battle was really close, even with Thaneos' hammer. Mutare almost won.

Surely, you realise that, as I spoke of mortals, that was in reply to you not needing to spend an Act to protect yourself from mortal assaults on your avatar and not about defending yourself against immortals whom the Act doesn't help you against anyway?

Also, why kill a mortal when you can merely glare at them, giving them a severe headache? It's less messy and fits my dislike of having to fight or spill blood.

That was clearly but an example of what kind of powers you have access to without acts. You could just as easily immobilize them.

Still, mortal avatars can die. The god itself walking amongst them with a form comfortable for their eyes can't, with the exception of other gods, which I'm trying to avert by converting mortals so I get more acts to fight back if I absolutely need to.

I'm like, the least hypocritical of all the Gods; I've never done anything OOC, tried to improve Coastal Lives, and make ninjas assassins!
Well, if we're going by intent, Neyravah was pretty un-hypocritical as well.


I think the Act was more about the spreading-knowledge thing.

I started the turn with 2 acts and 1 minor act, you started with an act and 2 minor acts, not a big difference
As for hard to play: It's not harder than playing any other god. IMO knowledge is a very versatile and powerful aspect

Still, mortal avatars can die. The god itself walking amongst them with a form comfortable for their eyes can't, with the exception of other gods, which I'm trying to avert by converting mortals so I get more acts to fight back if I absolutely need to.
Death of avatar doesn't equals to death of god (See Jesus) Furthenore,  Jesus died only because he allowed to kill himself...

Yep, but I fail to understand what knowledge does he spread. And I suspect that he will end like Jesus... Why? The area has 2 established religions and one just created an inquisition....

Knowledge of many things, with the promise of more if they worship him.

...which still ends up feeding Corvus due to the pantheon system.

Nah, younger men (OK, mostly women) are busy following Vanida and enjoying it

Eversummer has 3 religions:

a) The one that demands to obey the supreme being or get killed by inquisition
b) The one that demands to spend your lifetime learning
c) The one that demands to enjoy life and be free

Why do I think that religion c is the most attractive?
