[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 2613264, member: 9254"] It's one thing to use Control Winds once the orcs attack but to simply make the weather nice all the time? Seems like an abuse of a power. Like using create water instead of going over to the well. As for the hands-on approach, does your game have good gods send clerics/minions out to whomp on those doing evil? Do evil gods send clerics/minions out to do evil? Chaos gods to wreak havoc? Law gods to form order? If you go around screwing with the weather, specifically making everything nice and purty, you are stomping on the weather/storm god's purvue as much or moreso than killing babies irritates a god of good & life. He's not good or evil per se, he likes storms. And [i]these[/i] little nuisances keep stopping them. Gods of the storm should be fairly capricious and prone to overreaction so sending a messenger with Mark o Justice is actually fairly restrained. Proper Deus Ex Machina for a god of storms should be the thunderbolt from the blue when they get on his nerves. [/QUOTE]
