[QUOTE="Nyeshet, post: 2950451, member: 18363"] Not necessarily. I was in a campaign years ago where one of the players wished to be a deity. He didn't specify however, so he became the deity of snails and slugs. Due to the lack of worship in general he didn't gain anything from it except that slugs and snails would never attack or seek to harm him. The player was okay with this, since he hadn't really expected the wish to be granted. He had jokingly said it to a being that said it was a god of chaos. He hadn't taken the being seriously. It granted various members of the party that spoke with it various things - often slightly offkey (like the wizard that asked to know more spells - and suddenly knew all cantrips - of all spell lists). It seemed to be silly mood the DM was going through, but it was fun. I asked for help fighting undead (being a lower level 3e psion, shaper I think) and my spear was granted the undead bane property. We later found out that all the undead we would be facing in the next town were skeletons, so the property was only half way useful, if you'll excuse the pun. That was a fun, but odd, campaign, as I recall it. The same player that became the deity of slugs and snails later became a lycanthrope - who turned into a hawk and was harmed by copper and gold instead of silver. He never did learn to control his change as I recall. So he'd wake up in odd places the morning after a full moon and think others had moved him. When he finally realized what was happening he bought himself a silver bird cage for his other form. [/QUOTE]
