New Game of Death: Battle Royale of the GAWDS

[clockworkjoe]

I'm wondering if clockworkjoe has simply not been home at all. I really should have received an e-mail from him after my turn, but didn't. Hopefully his computer isn't down or something equally disastrous.

What, I have to be chained to the bloody computer? God, I can't even go out and enjoy a pleasant day outside for once without someone criticizing

Also, the boon will be along the lines of a wish spell. Just be careful for what you ask for.

That's right - slave, slave, away, just like your Clockwork namesake!

A few clarifications on My god likes me:

The boon will at most duplicate a spell of 3rd level or lower or similar effect such as asking for mundane equipment.

The boon will never dispel magic.

The boon will never cause a player damage.

The boon is considered to be cast by a level 15 spellcaster.

The boon will never heal more than 30 points of damage a round.

The boon will never apply metamagic feats to a spell.

The boon will duplicate a spell/effect that is not easily available.

The boon will never duplicate psionic powers.

If a boon is dispelled, it will not automatically be recast the next round.

Players with the advantage may pray for a specific spell/effect, but
The more powerful the boon, the less control over it/direct usefulness it will have for the player. In this case, a protection vs X spell is not that much to ask for since it is a level 1 spell. Level 15 characters of any class can have access to it easily enough.

clockwork - I take it this Round 3 Gawd boon is completely different from the My Gawd Likes Me boon?

No level 3 cap?
What about the last part - the more powerful the boon request, the less control the player will have over it?

For example, if you had the choice to request a boon between a 7th level spell, and a 4th level spell, is there any difference in the likelihood of the boon successfully being granted?

edit: from a 3rd level boon to a 9th level boon?
Quite the increase in power level there.... it seems like the PC's are starting to take more of a back seat to the Gawd's demonstrations of power...

I would most likely deffinately say that this is different then the my god likes me boon since well I'm getting it and I didn't pick the my god likes me. =op

All boons will be granted. You have to wait to see what else happens.

And also, if you have a problem with this game, please by all means, run your own Game of Death.

Perhaps, Reaper, but I wouldn't say so - after all, the power is going to the PC's, in this instance; it's up to our cleverness and ingenuity to do something with it. The gods are but a means to an end.

I certainly haven't read this whole thread, and am not sure how I could have missed it But isn't this more of an "In Character" type of thing (a message board game, as it were)? I'll move it to the appropriate forum if it is.

But it's easier to access where it is right here

It is... and it isn't. It started with Clockwork's recruitement of players, and is now just a discussion of the game - located here. Your call, of course, Eric - I'd prefer it stay here, but... that's just 'cause I like not having to switch forums to check up on it.

Plus it'll rack up more post views. I still wonder whose going to be the final contender ... not sure if I remember reading it before in this (now very long) thread but who won the last GOD?
