I think I may have a way to actually bend reality with a lot of work. However, doing so would probably require a different character. Is it worth making a new one?

Are there any gods with Truth as a domain?

Yep, Arnum.

EDIT: ...Seems there's another. Minkah as well, its his primary domain compared to Arnum's secondary.

[Remuthra]

Alright, I might do this rather than the slaveomancer. Could I get a bio on Arnum?

[Ross Vernal]

Arnum is allied with Malu for his practical applications of Arnum's domains, and respects Yupoli's followers. Arnum's followers can usually be seen helping Camille's followers when the opportunity arises, although his primary ally is Radan, as he believes the family is the first place of learning for all beings. He is largely neutral towards the majority of the gods, encouraging his followers to learn that which can be taught by all save for Ingram and Aphilam - a forthright god, Arnum hates Ingram for his trickery (and his follower's penchant for stealing items before they can be properly studied and learned from.) He views Tokee as overly frivolus and not a worthy student, although his followers will grudgingly accept Tokee's followers as students. He's not overly fond of Mingan, but he doesn't particularly dislike the Chaos god, as it is Mingan who is responsible for the creation of "chaos magic" and "blood magic", and both have a certain fascination with the mechanics of the universe. They have somewhat of a friendly rivalry, although neither phrase is entirely accurate.

Arnum is True Neutral, leaning towards Neutral Good. He's a thinker and a doer. Arnum expects his followers to be a combination between scientists and philosophers, preferring to use words and logic to resolve disputes. He takes delight in understanding and exploring the laws of reality.

Arnum's virtues include: Intelligence, wisdom, integrity, honesty, creativity, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Arnum's sins include: Stupidity (in the sense of 'deliberate ignorance and a lack of willingness to rectifiy it', not 'being slow to process thoughts'), dishonesty, theft, sloth, violence, greed, and fear of the unknown.

[Remuthra]

Final question: What does intelligence do, and what does willpower do?
EDIT: Could I just get explanations of all the stats?

[Xanmyral]

Alright, I might do this rather than the slaveomancer. Could I get a bio on Arnum?

Aw, no fun back and forth between Jewel and Joe? Ah well, interested in seeing what you're cooking up.

Unforrtunately not. This one has a better personality, though, and is sure to be at least as good for back-and-forth.

[Xanmyral]

Looking forward to the new member of Beta then, seems like you got an interesting plan going on.

[Ross Vernal]

See "HP/MP" in the Masterpost.

Aside from that, I use to to check if your character can understand things, how much pain they can withstand, etc etc.

Hey Gamerlord, I think the priests of blood/chaos are the analogues for Mingan. They're in the Shin temple.

[Gamerlord]

I don't think so.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

It's 2 of his 3 primaries, covers 70% of his religion. If you were looking for a necro priest, they're probably the ones to ask.

[Ross Vernal]

Hey Gamerlord, I think the priests of blood/chaos are the analogues for Mingan. They're in the Shin temple.

Yes, exactly. It's primarily a Decaric templefortress, but Shin's brother Mingan and Shin's wife Liagora have sections within. The temple is marked with Mingan's Blood and Chaos symbols; I just didn't specifically state Mingan's name for some reason.

Out of respect for the brothers in faith, the Necromantic priests are located elsewhere in the town. You'd have to inquire within to find them, however.

My original idea I actually discarded, and I came up with this one in the process. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Thales Aranis, Avenger of Arnum!

Spoiler: Yep, he'll get along with everyone quite nicely. (click to show/hide)

Name: Thales Aranis
Race: Angelborn
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 263 lbs
Appearance: A tall, hulking figure dressed in red leather hunting clothes and clad in a suit of steel. From his back protrude a pair of steel sheets each spanning eight feet when stretched, shaped to resemble feathered wings. His eyes are a bright shade of indigo, and burn with a manic intensity.
Strength 20, Stamina 17, Agility 22, Speed 18, Endurance 20, Willpower 18, Intelligence 15, Perception 14
HP: 35
MP: 37
Level: Adventurer 1, Favored of Arnum 1, Winged Juggernaut 2
Virtues: At least 5, no more than 7.
(Critical - 3pts)
Divine Conduit- The blood of the gods burn in Thales' veins, and he has abilities surpassing other creatures'.
(Critical - 3pts)
The Truth is Your Freedom- Thales' divine blood has given him a set of angelic steel wings. The wings have superior speed and agility, and allow him to fly. They are a part of his body. He can also use them as a weapon similarly to a dragon's wings.
(Minor - 1pt)
Faith- Thales is fanatically devoted to his virtues, and believes what he says is truth.
Flaws: At least 5, no more than 7.
(Critical - 3pts)
Singular Fervor- Thales does not believe in any gods other than Arnum. He believes Arnum is the one true god, and all others are false deities. He acknowledges their existence, but believes they are a race of immensely powerful beings which many humans worship as gods. He believes they exist, but Arnum is something more than them, the one true god among the other pretenders to the throne.
(Critical - 3pts)
Avenger of Truth- Thales has made it his mission to uphold Arnum's virtue of Truth. If he can reasonably assure himself someone has been lying, his holy fervor compels him to execute the offender in the name of Arnum.

Faith in Truth- Thales never says or thinks anything he does not believe true.
Hobbies: No more than 3 points.
(Minor - 1pt)
History- Searching for evidence of his beliefs by hunting for lost writings.
(Major - 2 pt)
Self-sacrifice- Withstanding pain to prove his devotion to his god.
Feats: 1 per every 2 levels. You start with 2 as a Level 3 character.
What Armor?- Reduced armor penalty.
Weapon Focus: Zweihander- Skilled in using two-handed swords
Faith- All Arnum.
Desired Equipment:
Sword of Light- A zweihander enchanted to emit light like a torch at will.

Ring of Heresy- An agate ring that is enchanted to cause the wearer to experience a flash of acute agony upon knowingly lying when worn.
Bag of Incense
Book, Quills, and Ink
Holy Symbol: Eye of Arnum

Every party needs a paladin, right?

[Ross Vernal]

Just know that high stats = difficult opponents.

You have been warned.

[Remuthra]

That's why I put in that critical virtue to stop myself from getting everyone killed.
