Say...

Oct 29, 2008 2:13:13 It's an interesting idea... I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I mean it seems like it'd be a great addition to a group that wanted it, but somehow it feels a bit number-y.

Also, how would the "refuse to be raised" work? I haven't come very far in my campaign so I'm not sure what other options there are when you're dead. Or is it more to encourage people not to die?

Oct 29, 2008 2:29:18 I think be "refused to be raised" he means like how you can signify that if something happens to you, ie: braindead that you wish not to be put on lifesupport.

It is a neat idea, I would say though does feel a bit numbery. Perhaps instead of numbers could be simply you use the Pleased, Satisfied, Normal, Unsatisfied and Angered terms. So say takes 5 Unsatisfied to drop you from Normal to Unsatisfied, etc.

Also it could mean perhaps that one has to maintain a certain level to keep the god happy, so say your at Normal you know Normal deeds must be done regularly to keep it up.

Oct 29, 2008 2:39:08 I wrote the 'Refuse to be raised' bonus in there because it fit her flavor text.

I wrote it in 4e terms and 4e is numbery.

On the other hand, a rough-guideline write-up for GM's would also fit within the same general framework.
