[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 1455392, member: 1368"] How do your Gods get their God-like power. My Gods get power from actions and thoughts of the commoners. Ie tell a white lie and the God of deception gets a little bit of power. Now admittedly its a fraction of nothing but when a world of millions may tell one white lie each day or better yet live a lie then he get's stronger. I like this model becuase it allows for dark evil Gods that don't have established churches. Their groups of worshipers are much more cult like an sinister. their goals are to spread a different kind of evil. I figure that the more "innocent" the person the greater the power when they commit an "Empowering" act. So a cult of murder instead of commiting lots of murders would try to arange for more "innocent" people to commit the crime. It also explains why Gods of nature exist without lots of worshipers. Why would the God of untamed beast have a bunch of worshipers. The fact that nature exist ,untamed, fuels her divinity. This also explains why paladins and clerics have oaths etc. A paladin shouldn't lie, even small ones becuase it fuels an evil God. He might due it in the extreme but not casually. So what are peoples thoughts on the origin of Divinity? Do you have a story of creation? I did mine a little different this time. I had Death made first and all others sprang from him. He is extremely nuetral and knows that eventually, even the Gods, will come to his realm. Basically he made one god and thought this entertaining and then created more allowing their actions to create more. So the First God's deception lie brought forth the manifistation of the God of Lies and so forth. Thanks Later [/QUOTE]
