Introduction + Everybody likes to have a little helping hand now and then. What +could be better than having a god on your side? But it's not quite that easy. +The gods won't help just any mortal who calls for help. You have to give them +a little something too. + +#####G2. How Do I Get in on This? + When you start a character, you get a choice of whether or not you +wish to begin worshipping a God (unless you're something like a priest - they +*must* start with a God to worship). If you do choose to be a follower of one +of the Gods, you will gain certain abilities provided you do not do things +that displease them. The measure of how happy your God is with you is your +Piety - the Pt stat is your measure of Piety. Different actions will allow you +to gain or lose Piety over time. You can change your mind about whom (if +anyone) to worship during the game by finding an *****tome_faq.txt*04[altar] of that God. + +#####G3. What about spells? +God-granted spells are also known as prayers, and are cast using Piety instead +of Mana. God-spells can be increased in level by improving either your Prayer +or Spell-power skill. The chance of successfully invoking a prayer depends +on the Prayer skill and your wisdom. + +Each God also grants access to standard magical spell schools; which school(s) +vary depending on the Gods' individual preferences. Spells from these schools +are cast using Mana, not Piety; and success depends on your intelligence, not +your wisdom. + +#####G4. So, Who Are These Gods? + In ToME, there are five Gods you may choose to worship, being: +1. *****g_eru.txt*0[Eru Iluvatar] - the father of the Valar. +2. *****g_manwe.txt*0[Manwe Sulimo] - the second strongest of the Valar (Morgoth was the strongest). +3. *****g_yavann.txt*0[Yavanna Kementari] - the Earth Queen who created plants and animals. +4. *****g_tulkas.txt*0[Tulkas] - another of the Valar, Tulkas values strength and courage. +5. *****g_melkor.txt*0[Melkor Bauglir] - the Dark Enemy himself, once the most powerful of the Valar. |
