Lightstriker:

Pretty sure I've gotten extra mana per level from the Pactmaker. Anyone else notice, or am I seeing things?

Almost: Yeah, I think something like that happens. The pactmaker may also give bonuses to health and attack when you level up, but I haven't been paying enough attention to notice.

Also, I think the magic only god does more than what is written, although I can't remember exactly off the top of my head.

In case anyone was curious, if you worship the Pactmaker at <= 5hp, you die.

-----------

Guys, I'm beginning to work on filling out the new piety section. Any help would be greatly appreciated -Lightstriker
Please note for EVERYONE that it will be inaccurate/ incomplete for quite a bit.

-----------

If you have explored 100% of the map when you worship the pactmaker, you start with 40 favor. I'm guessing that it scales, since when I had around 50% I got around 20 favor. Other gods seem to use other systems for granting initial favor. JJ seems to use a random number 1-20 maybe? (it makes a reference to the die being set in motion) Mystera is based off MP spent? Or possibly straight spells cast? spent 70 on 10 casts of endiswal and got 16, spent 70 on 70 casts of bysseps got 16, spent 0 on no casts and got 0.

Ironshield seems to give piety based on gold. Don't call me out on that, but worth checking.

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.
No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Most gods' bonuses are cumulative from the moment of joining, so it is best to select one as early as possible. Some gods, particularly Dracul and The Pactmaker, inflict early penalties that makes the character unable to continue if they are level one, plan ahead if you want to use one of these from the first level. Deities who impose max HP penalties will result in character death if you choose to follow them with fewer maximum HP than the penalty.

Lightstriker:

Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.
No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god.
Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet.
Most gods' bonuses are cumulative from the moment of joining, so it is best to select one as early as possible. Some gods, particularly Dracul and The Pactmaker, inflict early penalties that makes the character unable to continue if they are level one, plan ahead if you want to use one of these from the first level. Deities who impose max HP penalties will result in character death if you choose to follow them with fewer maximum HP than the penalty.
