Updated angel template:
*Flight
*Can teleport to some precision (near/above/somewhere in the city as opposed to inside a specific building, as was the goal) and between dimensions (same way gods can)
*God-aligned
*Holy to god and god's spheres
*Mental link with god
*Sapient
*Sphere-based special abilities (among others abilities, mine can use soul/blood sense, for example)
*Can change physical form
*Immortal
*Can switch from corporeal to incorporeal at will (though not instantly)
*Worship that goes to them goes to their god
*The remainder of their 3E price will go to granting them power several times greater than a Human's

If either of you two have spirits, I think you're cheating on the flight count.

On an unrelated note, I don't think I want to be an invading soldier who has to deal with angry Hearth Spirits.

The CRD invaded Human settlements with Hearth Spirits in them and nothing happened. Honestly kinda surprised that the Hearth Spirits didn't form enough of a kinship with their Human hosts that they'd help in their defence but there was probably a reason.

Now that works better, primarily for the arbitrary minimum price affecting power level.

Is shamanism already a thing that exists?

Price check so that if someone drinks only from the blood of a combat-enhanced angel (this template plus 2E to increase power and skill) for a week (they'll survive because it's angel blood), that person has their lifespan doubled and also becomes combat-enhanced. This is a non-inheritable upgrade, meaning the person's children won't be combat-enhanced

I figure either Dwarven Hearths are better(and many typical depictions of dwarves have them placing a greater emphasis on family), or they did fight and were just defeated too, and there weren't enough of them to mention it.

It's in development, talk to Happy Demon, he's the main one working on it.

Price check on giving myself a soul, assuming I don't have one

Ant Rate Up: 7-8E (Will lower Worship Quality significantly)

Why will it lower worship quality? Any way to counteract the decrease in quality?

Immortal Citin Balls: 9-11E

This is somewhat higher than I expected. Is there any one factor that is particularly causing the high price? Or is just a combination of the "all the things!" that I did. I guess I can cut out some stuff to make them more affordable...

Eh, I just called it Shamanism for ease of reference. But since there's no template for it, it would just be standard.
So I should maybe change the naming to something descriptive.
How about: Spirit based elemental magic?

Actually, I need to check the price for a race I've planned. As the amount of differences from humans would likely cause a >10E cost.

Spoiler: Bony Creatures (click to show/hide)

Name: Unnamed, called Bony Creatures for now.
Shape: Normal: Tailed humanoid (3 inch tail), 1 foot tall.
Queen: Winged tailed humanoid (1 foot wingspan, 4 inch tail), 2 foot tall.
Mind: Normal: Sapient, but stupid, incapable of understanding human language because of it's complexity.
Queen: Sapient, equally stupid, but also very naive. Easy to manipulate.
Body: Normal: Weak muscles, grey flesh, covered mostly in strong white bone, clawed hands and feet, pointy bony ears. Big eyes.
Queen: Equally weak, big eyed, and strong boned, black flesh, sides of head and back of neck is bony, pointy fleshy ears, white feathered wings. Can't fly.

Other: The Bony Creatures live near the modified Sand Cotton, whose sap they eat, and they make clothes from the silky stuff that covers it's seeds.
The Bony Creatures are bound to the modified Sand Cotton, and feel their pain, and as such endeavor to extract resources with as little pain as possible.
The reason for the binding is that they'd exterminate themselves otherwise (by killing the modified Sand Cotton, and starving themselves).
The Bony Creatures make silk clothes, though very crudely, and they trick their queen into wearing them.

The Bony Creatures don't need the queen to reproduce, it's just that a random egg will hatch a queen if none is present in the colony.
The Bony Creatures lay eggs (3-4 each litter), and have a gestation time of 1 year. The Bony creatures have a 6 year lifespan, and take 4 years to reach maturity.
The queen can bind herself to any creature, and do a strange kind of communication. This is used to see how big a Bony Creature population the modified Sand Cotton present can support.
The Bony Creatures harvest modified Sand Cotton seeds when they harvest silk, and spread them around, especially in areas of death, to grow more modified Sand Cotton.
The Bony Creatures have very strong bones.

Most limitations is due to Skolld's inexperience in creating life.

So you wouldn't be against me making them geniuses? Also, at first I read their name as Bunny creatures

What's the difference between a corporeal dimension and an incorporeal one? I need to know the specifics. Can you put stuff in an incorporeal dimension? Can anyone get inside? If not, what's the point in having a dimension that can't be accessed by anything? I'd assume a god couldn't enter either. Would that be a spirit only place? Can a god enter a spirit only place?

Yeah... the thing about that.
If you modify them, Skolld would be greatly offended.

It's like he's standing with a ball he just made, and you yanked it out of his hands, and started changing it to your liking.
Even if you did the most amazing thing in the world and returned it, he would still be offended you took it from him.

[Rolepgeek]

What would be the equivalent of throwing a dart into the ball or splattering it with paint without taking it out of his hands, then?

Equivalent of throwing a dart in it? That would be secretly extermination of the Bony Creatures. Which would offend him even more.
Equivalent of splattering pain on it? That would be secretly changing the Bony Creatures.
Not taking the ball is just that you do it secretly.

[Rolepgeek]

So he'd rather that happen, then?

I mean, the ball's not being taken, after all. And maybe he'll end up liking it better this color.

If anything, he'd like it less. As he'd still be offended that you did it.
