Message: <blockquote data-quote="S'mon" data-source="post: 4656410" data-attributes="member: 463">Divine intervention - a player should never be able to mandate divine intervention ("My father Zeus would rescue me!") IMO, but whether a PC believes they were possessed by a god should normally be within the player's prerogative I think*.  The GM can determine the truth of the matter for his own purposes, or, perhaps better, keep it deliberately unresolved.  Maybe some fraction of the god's psyche possessed the PC, as occurs in many real-world religions - it's not a particularly big deal if the Loa rides you awhile, or you felt filled with the Holy Spirit.  The GM should be able to run with that.*With the understanding that the player cannot mandate any mechanical effect from this.  I had a player recently claimed his PC background made him unkillable.  Nope.</blockquote>
