God Game Lite:Minor deities

<< Main Page

Minor deities can spring up any time people start to believe in thing other than the player characters. This is especially prevalent when problems start to pile up. With so little belief, there isn't much these minor deities can do. Left unchecked though, they can start to gather more worshipers, taking belief from the players.

Minor deities typically start without secondary spheres, and their primary sphere usually fills some gap in the list of things already covered by the players. They also start without a divine realm. At belief level 2, they will be able to access the existing realms, though they're usually smart enough to stay in the common area, or just stay away altogether. At belief level 5, they are powerful enough to form their own divine realm.

Dealing with these upstarts is best left to role playing. Generally, wiping out all of their believers should be discouraged, since, among other things, they often believe in the player characters too. Plus the rest of the population might not know about an individual's beliefs and would think badly of a deity that randomly smites his people.
