I just threw Phaeton at my players and was planning to stat him along the lines of the Cerridwyn in the EPG. Reading this I wonder if that's too low. I also have to stat the chariot and the horses, whose current vessel is a sports car. I'm definitely having fun with the Loas though.

Re: Greater Deities
The primary powers of the Ethereal god won't be their main source of strength, which will have faded over the years, but what they've built over the last few millennia.
Domain Attunements will be common. Yes, it takes decades to centuries to build a Domain; that means each can have built dozens. The smart way to pay for the Attunement will be with either Jaded/5 or Guilt/5, with the required actions of the Discord related to supporting the god's Image; this can be built into the Attunement ala Odin's One Eye Attunement. The more powerful gods will actually be protected by some Images being impossible. Want to challenge Odin? Good luck, nailing yourself to a tree as a sacrifice to yourself will get your entire being snuffed out of existence as the similarity to Jesus results in your Forces being sent Up Stairs. If the Taoist Pure Ones exist, they will be similarly protected by their near identical nature to the Christian Trinity. The Hindu Trimurti discussed earlier in the thread would be the perfection of this technique, with the actual worshippers ignoring it but it sitting there as a fatal trap for challengers. Creative use of Talismans can ensure a steady supply of Dreamshades; a single Lucid Dreaming Talisman set up as a temple/hospice will ensure that every worshipper will be able to anchor themselves to the god's Domain - The Indian, Chinese and Japanese pantheons could have billions of Dreamshades. As Talismans are most efficiently created in The Marches, they will be comparatively common. Created at the high point of the god's power, they will likely be of a higher level than the god! |
