In the former model, the player is restricted to the resources of the character.  In the latter, he can bring other powers to bear in order to advance the fortunes of the character.  Even in the latter, however, I would prefer a clear division between "the abilities of the character" and "the resources available to the player".A game where each player plays a PC type character and a patron deity who favours  that character could be an interesting version of such a game.  I envision a great roll by me the player causing my character to fall to his knees.  "Praise the Mighty Hugh, for he has vanquished mine enemies!"  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
