Well, if a particular hero earns him/herself a patronage of a god then there is nothing stopping that god from granting longevity or elven style immortality to the hero.

I think Godhood has always been based on a sizable amount of hand waving even if it wasn't that noticeable.

@ Ardas - Agreed.

Now that seems interesting. As i see it both the Maw and Astra`ath are gods of hunger. With one big difference: Astra`ath hungers because he needs to feed in order to survive, the Maw is hunger. So starving would probably weaken Astra`ath but would strengthen the Maw.
You're making some assumptions there.

Question: If a hero pledges allegiance to a god, can they lay claim to extra abilities? (Agelessness is something I'm interested in, I don't want to die in a couple of turns). Also, would it be possible to strengthen their heroic acts within the domain of that god (that is, to burn a couple of heroic acts to achieve a godly act, within the spheres of the god that has been sided with)?

It all depends on your patron god. Rules are quite fluid, because, well, its gods we are talking about here. Unless its something that would ruin fun for others then I guess your patron god would be willing to do something like that for you.

Yeah, any of that would be fine. Just get the patron to pay the needed acts to give you power, and you're set. (immortality of some sort is particularly easy. Spending a Heroics or two would be plenty to let a hero happen across some non-divine way of gaining it though magic.)

Wasn't it that the heroes get reincarnation anyway?

This is going to be really awesome or make Midas look like an idiot. Either way, it should shake things up...

Prophecies, awesome.

And it is a good prophecy. Sufficiently vague, innit.

I, for one, will (OOC) support the eventual fulfilment of that prophecy. I can certainly see Nora taking care of the 'in Fire' bit.

The hardest bit to fufill will be the "sun shall set and never again rise whole" bit. That's going to take a hell of a lot of acts.

Oh. Ah...This is awkward. I've given Riccto some powers pre-game start. Could you subtract that from my total acts?

Also, who else needs to post for the game to start?
