This serves as a binding between the material plane and the higher planes; in all cases, the mortal vessel does not know that they are truly Divine until the moment of their death, and the God continues to exist in the higher planes too; think of it as a kind of Avatar of the God's will. This is one of the deepest kept secrets in all the churches, for this vessel - whilst incredibly difficult to tamper with - is still one of the few times those of divine power can be harmed."Emphasis added.I might add a twist there that the child they're protecting turns out to ... just be a child with a birthmark.  It was one of the PCs, acting as agent of a deity of protection or some such who was the true avatar.</blockquote>
