Are the holy symbols that can be displayed for deities meant to all be charge / day, charge / use, or is it meant to vary between the deities? I noticed at least the Helm holy symbol is able to cast magic circle against alignment and aura of glory daily, but the Malar flag is only 2 charges / use of blood frenzy and camouflage.
Thanks in advance

They are all different based off what powers they grant and based off the theme of the deity.
Variety is the spice of life.

*Curiously enough, I noticed that Malar's holy symbol has charge-consuming powers but no apparent number of charges. Will these powers work?

Malar Holy Symbol charges is a bug I fixed but apparently forgot to update the shop since then.

Ah. Good thing I pointed that out, then.  Maybe that fix will be enough to get Zephyr back in the game... won't it, Zeph?  |

There. Finally got into Lista's hut so I could check out her holy symbol of Eldath. And it only took Serrica's Endurance spell expiring while she was at 1 Hit Point to do it.  Rassum frassum.... |

"Hey, Serrica! I noticed that those kobold shamans and their Ray of Frost spells hurt you when you didn't have your holy symbol in hand, but they were harmlessly absorbed when you did! Are you a cleric of...." "No." "Really? I could swear the forums said..." "Silence, metaboy! " Come to think of it, do Auril and Istishia have holy symbols on this server yet? |

I don't agree with that approach myself, as it may discourage some players from choosing deities which aren't represented by holy symbols. Is the idea of rolling up a cleric of Sune made less appealing by the lack of Sune holy symbols on this server? It may be futile (and maybe a bit excessive) to create a holy symbol for every last deity in all the world's pantheons; do we really need holy symbols for the likes of Lolth, Laduguer, Isis, Zaltec, Asgorath, Fa Kuon and Blibdoolpoolp? But perhaps the more "mainstream" gods of the Faerûnian pantheons could use a bit more representation, and we do have a fair spread of merchants who already sell holy symbols and who could sell the symbols of allied deities as well; Lordi could sell symbols of Tyr, Torm and Lathander, Marion could sell symbols of Tempus, Istishia and Deep Sashelas, and so on. I might be tossing in a merchant or two when I get around to building Oresk, and I'm just about finished with putting the finishing touches on the new area I'm presently building, so I'd like to have some ideas on new holy symbols to pitch to Lucky before then. So it's brainstorming time. Let's rock talk, peeps. |

Now, I never agreed with Dorkling's idea of any holy symbols having charges and spells based on those charges; a holy symbol should not be something that your god-fearing character burns out and tosses aside, in my opinion. So with these ideas I'll be sticking to either permanent-while-equipped buffs and debuffs, or once- or twice-daily powers, wherever possible. Sticking to the deity's word, theme and Domains is important too, of course. Gods of Fury:Talos: Cast Spell: Gedlee's Electric Loop (3) (1x/day), Cast Spell: Sound Burst (3) (1x/day), Cast Spell: Electric Jolt (1) (Unlimited uses/day), Saving Throw Bonus: Electrical +3, Damage Resistance: Electrical (10/-), Damage Vulnerability: Negative Energy (10%). Total Cost: 176 GP Auril: Damage Resistance: Cold (15/-), Cast Spell: Cone of Cold (9) (1x/day), Damage Vulnerability: Bludgeoning (10%), Damage Vulnerability: Fire (10%). Total Cost: 316 GP (Umberlee and Malar are already represented.) Orcish Pantheon:Gruumsh: Ability Bonus: Strength (+2), Skill Bonus: Intimidate (+2), Armor Class Bonus vs. Racial Group: Elf (+1), Cast Spell: Blood Frenzy (7) (1x/day), Decreased Skill: Spot (-2), Decreased Skill: Search (-2). Total Cost: 244 GP Bahgtru: Ability Bonus: Strength (+3), Decreased Ability: Intelligence (-2). Total Cost: 259 GP Ilneval: AC Bonus (+1), Skill Bonus: Discipline (+2), Skill Bonus: Parry (+2), Skill Bonus: Persuade (+2). Total Cost: 46 GP Luthic: Ability Bonus: Wisdom (+1), Skill Bonus: Heal (+2), Cast Spell: Barkskin (6) (1x/day). Total Cost: 95 GP Shargaas: Skill Bonus: Hide (+4), Skill Bonus: Move Silently (+2), Cast Spell: Darkness (3) (1x/day), Damage Vulnerability: Divine (5%). Total Cost: 64 GP Yurtrus: Cast Spell: Contagion (5) (1x/day), Cast Spell: Infestation of Maggots (5) (1x/day), Saving Throw Bonus: Disease (+4), Damage Vulnerability: Divine (25%), Decreased Skill: Heal (-4). Total Cost: 312 GP Bear in mind: 1) The Total Cost is just a general idea of an item's worth or power, and 2) Decreases and penalties don't affect the Total Cost any. So I've tried to balance things out a bit by adding higher penalties for the more potent icons. Just a little something to keep in mind here. So...think I'm on the right track so far?  |
