You are a patron of the evil in a medieval world (we could use someone’s world or create a new one). At the start, there are 10,000 people who can be influenced by your evil. Your end goal is to be as powerful as possible, or for your alliance to be as powerful as possible.

Rules:

1. Please do not use overly vulgar language (such as repeated swearing or the f%&@ word). We  will give you one reminder if this rule is violated.

2. If an argument gets out of hand, there are always PMs to talk about it so it doesn't clutter up the main thread. But just do your best to be respectful.

3. Please keep things appropriate and go easy on any gory details or any brutal actions. This also includes 18+ scenes or content (Fade to black/suggestive scenarios). We are not aware of the age of thread participants or how comfortable they are with it, so please keep things down and be mindful of these kinds of things. If you and other players would like to do things like this, please take it to a PM.

4. Please go easy on quote chains for ease of mobile users. If someone has very long chains, please let them know in a respectful way.

5. When speaking OOC, structure it like *this*.

6. Please put the name of a Stormlight Archive character in your first post to show you've read the rules :)

7.  Listen to the Mods, (to be named) 

8. This thread is also for roleplay, not just amassing power.

How characters work:

When you make your character, choose one domain from this list. Your domain gives you more power over whatever that domain is related to. When influencing the world around you to do something related to your domain, you are considered 2 divine ranks higher. For example, an earth domain (L1) would have the powers of an (L3) when creating something that involved the earth.

Domains:

• Arcana Domain
• Forge Domain
• Grave Domain
• Knowledge Domain
• Life Domain
• Light Domain
• Wild Domain
• Earth domain
• Water domain
• Fire domain
• Wind domain
• Order Domain
• Peace Domain
• Tempest Domain
• Trickery Domain
• Twilight Domain
• War Domain

• Decadence domain

• Revelry domain

• Plague domain

• Fear domain

• Shadow domain

There are 5 Patronic ranks of power. Each Patron is in one of these categories, depending on how many followers they have. Each rank gives you special abilities. When influencing the environment in a way related to your domain, you are considered to be 2 Patronic ranks higher. For example, an earth domain (L1) would have the powers of an (L3) when influencing something like a mountain, either directly or through your followers.

 After here, the text is almost completely unchanged. This will be remidied ASAP.

(L1) (0-100 followers)

you can change your appearance to look like anything you want to. You can teleport anywhere in the world 3 times a day. You can influence the environment in any way you want within 100 feet of you. All domains, like arcana and knowledge could also make spell effects, while domains like trickery, Order, and war could also create magical effects related to their domains. In addition, every Domain can bestow magic powers upon followers. For example, an order domain Patron could create an enchantment spell effect, a war domain Patron could create an abjuration or evocation spell effect, and Trickery could create an illusion or enchantment effect. These effects don’t affect Patrons. If you don’t know what would be part of your domain, just ask. Anything you create cannot be bigger than a 20 foot cube. You can create 1 rare, uncommon, or common magic item by spending 1 minute creating it. You can spend 1 hour making a very rare magic item.

Past this point, I’m still working on it. Everything here is as of yet unchanged.

Minor god (100-1,000 followers)

as Demigod, but you can teleport at will and the radius for influencing the environment is 1 mile and anything you create can be up to a 100 foot cube. You can also spend a day to make an artifact. This artifact, if you have it on you while fighting, gives you a plus 2 to rolls for fighting gods. You can only have 1 artifact at a time. If a creature besides you uses the artifact, it only gains a plus 1 to fighting gods. You can create creatures up to CR8.

Intermediate god (1,000-10,000 followers) as Minor god, but the radius for influencing the environment is 10 miles and anything you create cannot  be bigger than a 1,000 cube. You can create creatures up to CR15, and you can have 2 domains now instead of 1

Greater god (10,000-100,000 followers) as Intermediate god, but the radius for influencing the environment is 100 miles and whatever you create cannot be bigger than a 1 mile cube. You can create creatures up to CR20

Overgod (100,000 or more followers)

As greater god, but the radius for influencing the environment is 1,000 miles and  whatever you create can be up to 5 miles, or 50 miles if it is related to your domain. You can create creatures of any CR, and you can now have 3 domains. There can only be 3 Overgods at any one time

As your characters are gods, they gain power based on how many followers they have. Once every 24 hours, you can choose to either gain followers, or convert someone else’s followers. When you gain followers, you gain followers depending on your alignment and your divine rank. During your first post, you must say your alignment. You cannot gain more followers than there are humans.

Demigod: evil: 10, neutral: 20, good: 30

Minor god: evil: 100, neutral: 150, good: 200

Intermediate god: evil: 500, neutral: 800, good: 1,000

Greater god: evil: 5,000, neutral: 8,000, good: 10,000

Overgod: evil: 10,000, neutral: 15,000, good: 20,000.

If you decide to convert the followers of another god, you gain half the amount you would otherwise, (or, if the god you are converting followers from has less than that, you gain the amount of followers they have,) and they lose the amount of followers you convert. You cannot convert followers from a god that is more than 2 divine ranks below you.

Gods can donate followers to other gods. The god donating chooses how many followers they are giving to another god of their choice. The god giving the followers loses that many followers and the person they are donating them to gains that many followers.

Divine Battles

Gods have a pool of dice that they use for fighting other gods. They have an amount of dice (D6s) equal to their divine rank. (example: demigods have 1, intermediate gods have 3, overgods have 5) when battling another god, you decide how many dice to use out of your pool. Both gods roll their dice, and whoever rolls higher wins. Battles decide who wins not just in combat, but also in scenarios where normal characters are rolling dice, like deception vs. insight, and stealth vs. perception. Gods gain all of their dice back every 24 hours.

Pantheons:

If 2 or more gods agree, they can form a pantheon. Pantheons grant all members an extra dice to use in combat, shared between them. If one god uses this dice, none of the others in the pantheon can use it until it is regained. In addition, they gain an extra amount of followers every time they gain or convert followers equal to 1 tenth of the amount of followers they already earn. Gods in a pantheon can give other gods in a pantheon divine battle dice, which disappear after 24 hours, and the god that gave them gets them back. Gods in a pantheon cannot steal the followers of another god in a pantheon.

 Current Population- 10,000

The population of humans will increase every few IRL days and rules may be added or change. Have fun!

In your first post, put your god’s alignment, domain, and current appearance.
