-The Glowing Guardian is interesting in that he is one of the handful of gods who most people will get the best benefit out of worshipping as late as possible. Due to all the small modifiers to piety, it's unlikely for most characters that they will have enough piety to pick up Absolution (although paladins and warlords both stand a decent chance). His starting boon, on the other hand, can be used in the middle of fighting the boss to potentially win the game. By that point, most characters will have taken enough damage to immediately afterwards afford either Healing or Protection, whichever would help against the boss more. Even otherwise poor choices for accruing piety under the Glowing Guardian can make use of this tactic, although characters with a melee poison or life drain move should be cautious.
