Since being introduced, the selection of deity has seen a dramatic increase in implementation. Many [[Cleric Base|cleric]] and [[Paladin Base|paladin]] spells have different appearance and/or effect based upon the patron of the character. Certain items, such as the Ravias and Brother Weatherby holy symbols have special zests usable only by those that follow certain Gods. Additionally, it has been stated that tools exist to restrict entrance to rooms, offer better prices at merchants, and tailor a slew of other things to a character's conversion.

SET #

CONVERT SET will allow an unconverted character the opportunity to select an arkati or lesser spirit to convert to.
Note: Once a deity is selected, another cannot be selected without the aid of Intercession.

Messaging
Usage:
    CONVERT SET <#>                 - Sets which deity you wish to worship
The proper syntax for use is convert set (number) [confirm]. Typing CONVERT SET # without CONFIRM provides a means to check oneself. CONFIRMing it will set your deity, if the character in question has CONVERTs remaining.

FORSAKE

CONVERT FORSAKE cause a character to forsake their deity, and will clear their alignment. This choice must be confirmed. Note: Similar to CONVERT SET #, this is a one time choice, and will not allow a character to be able to convert to another deity without the aid of Intercession.

Messaging
  • Unconverted:
There's no need to forsake the gods when you aren't even following one!
  • Converted:
You are choosing to forsake the gods, clearing your deity alignment.  You must CONFIRM this action as there is NO changing it once it is done.

CONFIRM CHOICE of forsaking the gods.
