[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 4716479, member: 29746"] UK's presently-published books are silent on this topic as far as I know, but for my own long-running and now-divine game we came up with a system. We postulate that a god has two types of Portfolios, Primary and Secondary. Primary are the Portfolios that lay-people who have heard of the god would think the being is god "of," for instance, one of Zeus's Primaries would be Sky. This is essentially what the Portfolio system in Ascension handles- it lets the god use the Domain spells as spell-like abilities and grant those spells to Clerics, and it also comes with some weaknesses and some bonus divine abilities (both tied to the Portfolio concept). A Secondary Portfolio, in our system, is one that doesn't grant the deity the weaknesses or the bonus divine abilities, but does allow the deity to use the Domain as spell-likes and which the deity can also grant to Clerics. The idea with the Secondaries is that the deity finished a Portfolio Quest for each one, but didn't spend the six divine ability slots required to purchase Extra Portfolio. So, perhaps a riff on that iea could work for you? [/QUOTE]
