[QUOTE="Starglim, post: 2030507, member: 17011"] Just following a line of thought to the very end: [SIZE=4][B]Ylyma[/B][/SIZE] Ylyma is chaotic evil. She is called the White Goddess and often depicted either as a humanoid figure with its face and body concealed by flowing white robes, or as a female mongrelfolk. Ylyma's domain is bodily change, disease and deformity. Mongrelfolk say that she was once without gender, but chose to become female in order to bring forth the first mongrelfolk, and thus they call her the Maker. She is venerated by those outcast as a result of illness or birth defects. Ylyma is served by several orders of priesthood that are detailed further below. Her domains are Chaos, Evil, Trickery and Healing. [SIZE=1](Wait, it gets better)[/SIZE] Her favoured weapon is the unarmed strike. Her holy symbol is the two-fingered hand. [B]White Priests[/B] This secretive clerical order dresses in white rags. Those encountered in the city are generally clerics or adepts, while those in the countryside include druids as well. They minister to the poorest of the poor (as well as giving theological guidance to certain less-than-sane mages) and are sworn to provide healing to all who ask. All White Priests are infected with leprosy, and everyone who is affected by their spells (including ranged spells) is exposed to the disease. White Priest spells of 3rd level or higher bear the direct curse of Ylyma, thus the disease that they transmit is magical, affects paladins also and can only be cured if the victim first receives [I]remove curse[/I]. Ylyma does not grant the [I]raise dead, resurrection[/I] or [I]true resurrection[/I] spells, but favours [I]reincarnate[/I] instead. Anyone reincarnated by a White Priest becomes either a mongrelfolk or an aberration of CR 0-3 of the GM's choice (this change in type is an exception to the usual effect of [I]reincarnate[/I]). [B]Deacons of the Maker[/B] These sturdy and insightful mongrelfolk guide their community and protect them from persecution. They include clerics, adepts, paladins and other mongrelfolk without spellcasting ability. [I]Note:[/I] Deacons are not White Priests and do not transmit disease with their spells, though they receive the same altered version of [I]reincarnate[/I]. [/QUOTE]
