[QUOTE="discosoc, post: 7102737, member: 6801554"] Keep in mind that DI probably should never be an easy-mode result where the player or group no longer has to worry about anything. Since your player requested a fairly vague bit of help from his god, I'd start by looking at the "Blessings" section of the DMG on page 228 or, if you're feeling generous, check out the "Epic Boons" section later on page 232. Maybe let the each player pick one of those to have active during the course of the immediate adventure, with the catch that they act within the guidelines of the god's alignment and/or virtues. That should be easy for the cleric, but other characters may or may not be willing or able to do that. Alternatively, you stage a later encounter to inexplicably go in the group's favor. That's because DI also doesn't have to happen right away, and it certainly doesn't need a mechanical benefit as soon as the request is made. Something like a bolt of lighting striking the BBG elite champion dead just as the group attacks, or maybe the first time each character drops below half health during the session, they immediately heal back up to full. Just some ideas. [/QUOTE]
