You are a god. Not, perhaps, the strongest, but you are still fairly well respected among your peers, for you have an Important Job to do.
You must keep the Hero (or Heroine, it's really the same), and, nominally, their companions as well, from dying a horrible and tragic death that will doom the world! Or, well, the continent, anyway. Maybe not the world.
Of course, your bosses can't let ALL of your restrictions slide, even for this very important task, so you may have to... compromise. Well, nothing for it.
Character Creation: You start with 100 Points. You may take extra Restrictions to gain more points, and may use these points to gain powers to use. Please vote using a plan format.
Powers (If purchasing a Greater Domain, do NOT purchase the lesser domain. Unless you really want to waste those points, I suppose):
[] Earth Lesser - You may expend a large amount of energy to either cause a large event (such as a landslide) or do something more precise (creating a simple message in stone). You may not use this in combat at all, as it will take too much time. Doing anything either larger or more precise than these examples will be very difficult, and take a significant amount of energy. (20 Points)
[] Earth Greater - Using earth to cause events will take significantly less energy, even when doing greater effects. You may use more energy to be more precise and/or make larger events. Raising a crude wall, perhaps, or carving a stalagmite into a point and causing it to fall into someone's head in combat are not outside of possibility. Outside of combat, you may be even more precise - carving a crystal vein into a sword, or causing an earthquake. Keep in mind that even with the Greater domain, this will always be at least somewhat energy intensive, as it is the nature of Earth to not be caring of the Divine. (50 Points)
[] Storm Lesser - You may influence the weather to some extent around your hero, easing the effects of traveling through harsh climates, or causing precipitation to be harsher when your heroes are going in the wrong direction. (20 Points)
[] Storm Greater - You may influence the weather to a greater extent, making changes to the weather around enemies as you were previously only to do around your heroes. Your weather powers are even more potent around the heroes as well, able to change a thunderstorm into a drizzle, and a drizzle into only a light sprinkling. Using a great amount of energy, you may even cause a waterspout to destroy enemy fortifications or make great winds blow their ships off course. (70 Points)
[] Holy Lesser - Ease your heroes' burdens, lighten their loads, and make deadlier their swords. With minimal energy expenditure, you may cast minor blessings on your heroes, although it would quickly get expensive if kept up all the time. Some examples of effects are a small health or damage boost. For no cost, you may add (to be dismissed at your leisure) the Holy effect to your heroes' weapons, letting them damage creatures that are normally immune to physical damage with them. You may also create small lights that appear similar to a Will o' Wisp that can be controlled by you, although you may only create three a day, and they will dissipate in five minutes. (15 Points)
[] Holy Greater - Keeping a minor blessing or two up at all times will be so inexpensive energy wise that it's effect would be negligible. You may cast Greater blessings on your heroes as well, although this will take more energy, letting you nearly double their health or damage for a short time. You may cause a glowing aura to appear around your Hero at will, and you may communicate directly through your Wisps (unless you have taken the relevant Restriction). Should that Restriction have been taken, then your Wisps will last for thrice as long. (110 Points)
[] Death Lesser - You may give your Gift to your heroes, making neutral undead non-hostile unless provoked. Undead foes will be somewhat weakened when facing your heroes as well (unless you don't want them to be). You may also subtly influence non-sentient undead. (15)
[] Death Greater - Using a reasonable amount of energy, you may control non-sentient undead, causing them to target your enemies (or heroes, I suppose), and may subtly influence sentient undead. Unless stopped, neutral non-sentient undead will protect your hero automatically. Deaths caused by your hero will cause you to gain energy, with more impressive kills giving more. A human or wolf will gain a decent amount for you, a small animal such as a squirrel will gain you nearly nothing, and a Manticore would gain you an impressive amount. (110 Points)
[] Nature Lesser - You may influence the emotions of non-sentient animals to a degree, causing them to be irritable and more prone to attacking your heroes or enemies, or be friendlier and less likely to attack. Animals will not go against their instincts - a friendlier dog might loyally attack your enemies, but the most a wyvern will do on your behalf is refrain from attacking (unless your heroes are too annoying, or it's very hungry). You may also slowly influence the growth of plants over time - steering them to grow in different directions, and speeding up and slowing down their growth by 50% to 200%. You may also grant your hero a "sense" of sorts, pointing out useful or edible plants. Yes, you may extend this towards poisons. (15 Points)
[] Nature Greater - You may… wait, never mind. Your boss is absolutely not willing to let you edge in on their domain, apparently. However, for the low, low price of 25 Points, he will make sure that your requests are processed in a minimum of a week, and actually read them himself rather than having a random employee do it. No guarantee that he'll do anything about them, but he'll at least read them. (25 Points)
Restrictions:
[] No Communication - You may not directly communicate with your Heroes, and any attempt to will fail and result in strict punishment. You'll have to make due with natural occurrences. (+75 Points)
-[] Only Men - You may not make it obvious that there are divine forces at work. Any attempt to will fail and/or result in punishment to the degree of how obvious it is. As far as your Heroes are allowed to know, you do not exist. (+75 Points)
[] Pacificism… ish - You may not interfere with combat situations. No combat-related blessings, no lightning bolts, no stones dropped on heads. Nothing. Fighting is for the Heroes, not you. The only exception is if another Deity level being interferes - in that situation, you fighting is fair play. (+50)
-[] Or Not! - Or not. You may not fight at all, even if your Heroes are up against a literal god. (+10)
-[] Dedicated - You may not do actions even related to fighting. No creating weaponry, no encouraging your heroes to fight, nothing. (+75)
[] Bureaucracy - You must get approval from your superior before doing anything. Blessings? Just get a Divine Blessing Stamp, and feel free! Wait, they're already dead by the time the paperwork's filled out? Such a shame. (+30)
-[] Passes?? - Every single time you do something, even if that exact action has already been approved, it must be approved again. Every. Time. Blessing of Might? Right here, one-use approval stamp for a single Divine Blessing! (+150)
