Message: <blockquote data-quote="clockworkjoe" data-source="post: 714277" data-attributes="member: 1321">About Jade's turn:First and foremost, don't forget Jade has a -8 penalty on her diplomacy check due to energy drain. Zeus and the other gawds are not in the business of simply protecting one fighter over another. Thus asking for healing or other boons that only benefit a single character aren't going to happen most likely. That's boring and unfair to the other fighters.Zeus thinks that Jade and Martok are moral equals in their fighting tactics. Martok's tricks are powerful but have countermeasures that players can be expected to get such as true seeing (whch you have) and a good reflex save (for the trees) while Jade uses powerful tricks with few if any countermeasures (Quest and horn of blasting). Furthermore, Zeus admires bravery in the face of difficulty and not someone begging him for help. If Zeus truly cared about Jade or Therron's well being, he wouldn't have teleported them into the Arena in the first place. If you wanted the gawds to give you special boons you should have taken the My gawd likes me advantage instead of the stand by me advantage. You will NOT have the benefits of two boons. If you're wondering about what type of boon the gods may grant to someone without the my gawd likes me advantage, here are some good examples:"Teleport all the fighters on map1 or map2 to the other half and then destroy that half of the map so we may slaughter each other more quickly.""Have the rain turn into acid rain""Turn the lake into molten magma.""Open a gate to hell so I can throw my enemies into it."Essentially, the gods are most likely to grant boons that screw everyone over equally or make the battle more dangerous and exciting.</blockquote>
