GenDeities are very special mobs and need to be handled with care. The GenDeity mob is NOT an avatar of the deity, rather it is more the essence of the deity. GenDeities should be placed in special rooms that restrict player access and protect the deity from any form of manipulation. While players should not be able to directly interact with a GenDeity, they are good sources of storing magical items, armors, and weapons so that those items may be acquired through various in-game mechanics. The weapons that a deity wields also provide added details to the deity and their followers, and paladins will craft weapons based upon the deities equiped items.

GenDeities have a special form of multiwatch where they literally see ever action of ever one of their followers (as displayed with the prayer Divine Perspective). As such, they should have enough senses to not be fooled by their followers (see in darkness, see invisible, see sneakers, etc).

Deities have all the options from the GenMob menu, and several special deity settings, listed below.

Balancing Deities

Deities should be balanced against one another in a number of ways. The number and utility of blessings, curses and powers should be such that to some players, each deity is a viable option.

Notes

  • The Description field of the GenDeity is used in the HELP file. This description should be more of the faith of the deity than their physical appearance (which may be part of the faith).
