on another note, Weapon up for aproval:

I now ask, could I use te left over gold to make Duretep succeed all ego check with Zidanrad and anybody else automatiaclly fail?

Frozen, I don't think it's stalling creation; I think it's building mythology. Gods are making oaths and alliances. What happens or could be caused to happen in the future because the blood of Duretep and Ubariya has mingled?* Pregnancies have been caused by much less in our own real world mythologies, for example.


*True, Myth and Legend, and Heliasillyel by proxy, believes the grey mist to be a sort of astral travel but that isn't necessarily truth. As far as I (and Ubariya) am concerned she is there in body and constrained from certain actions by the Grey Mist itself. Therefore, the mixing of their blood doesn't have to be 'virtual' but can be real. In fact, unless HolyMan says 'This is the one true way' we can approach it in different fashions, each one equally true and valid.

This is indeed true, and an interesting point. The mixing of Madness and Death which in turn creates a new being. Could this be how undead were first formed within this world, by total accident and it would change much of the rituals that are needed to raise them? Undead being something outside of the human imagining (madness) but dead all the same but yet living (birthed from death). I look to everyone whether this idea is good or not but this may force a slight change in the portfolio of Duretep given time.

 

[Myth and Legend]

Since Kronos and the other Titans were spawned by the blood of the gelded Uranus, I see little problem with this intermingling of divine blood to produce results. It's up to HM however. BTW when were the item rules posted? I seem to have missed them.

 

[GlassEye]

Frozen, that is an excellent take on the idea. I heartily endorse it. Ubariya would hate it and reject the undead spawned by it (since they would likely be outside the rebirth cycle of the journeying soul) so having them accepted by the father would be good but only if you really wanted to include them in your portfolio. As an aside, I'm all for portfolio's growing as a result of roleplaying.

Item creation: don't remember the exact post but it was basically one weapon of 128,000 gold piece value.

Very good then, Duretep will accept them into his realm. I believe that there will be a split between the corporeal and incorporeal, incorporeal taking more from the side of Duretep and corporeal taking more from the side of Ubariya. I think there would be 2 undead that would be created at the beginning: a vampire and a wraith, both are creatures that are able to multiply because of creating spawns. Thi also makes me wonder if the two first will rise to godhood at one point?

This is only an idea though, any ideas on your side will be very welcome or from anybody.

OK i have had the idea of Heliasillyel's weapon - a composite Longbow named Shinecaster. However there are two things i want and they are not standard by any means. I want the bow to be constructed entirely from light - shining yellow sunbeams woven around in the patterns of Elven bow crafting (that's fluff so i guess it's ok).

However, it will really make no sense for a Goddess to be firing mundane arrows with her bow. I want the weapon to be able to produce it's own arrows, that also seem to be created entirely from light (sort of like brilliant energy arrows). Which brings me to the next thing i wanted - at will, the user can create either a regular arrow or a Brilliant Energy arrow. How does this equate in gp costs? Is it even balanced? I mean, i can always make it a + 4 Holy Flaming Burst Composite Longbow [+2 STR] but that would be... well boring. Not sure i want to make it an intelligent item, I view it more as part of Heliasillyel's own essence, manifested when combat is inevitable.

Since the second half of my proposal is rather oblique, I am also proposing the creation of the moon and shadow (NOT the undead sort).

*True, Myth and Legend, and Heliasillyel by proxy, believes the grey mist to be a sort of astral travel but that isn't necessarily truth.

Gah! I quoted myself. I thought I should explain exactly what I meant given Myth's spoilered comment IC. The she above (in yellow) I meant as Ubariya not Heliasillyel. I meant that both Myth's projection and my corporeal presence could be true. This doesn't have to be an either/or situation. Heliasillyel could be projecting an image; Ubariya can be there in body. Each deity can choose their preferred method of interaction. Whatever the case, we still operate under the same constraints.

Note to the DMs: replaced my Craft: Musical Instrument for Knowledge: Arcana (23 ranks only). And took KA's 24 ranks for Perform: Sing. I needed it for the RP but figured that Heliasillyel can't be a Bard deity with only two perform skills
