FS#6814 - Bring gods in the game
From game chat:
/tell Laanx Hi, Laanx!
> Laanx is not found online.
Current /pray command is a shortcut for /emote pray, but it could be interesting to have separate command to pray gods (or specific god) for miracles or even ask them about something.
“Miracles” should be protective / healing spells, casted on character or group, or offensive spells, casted on enemies.
Spell set could vary by god. Rate of success of appeal & spell power could be determined by character race, faction points, number of previous appeals (in the game day), sacrifices and also (maybe) current location, weather and time of the day.
If god name not specified, any god in the mood could answer to the prayer.
Also, appeling to the more ancient gods (Laanx, Talad) should have lesser rate of success, but greater miracles or revelations.
Any character (even have no magical abilities and choose to be atheist) could use this command.
Gods could be implemented as (invisible) NPCs.
Example command formats:
Pray: /pray [godname]
Ask: /tell [godname] [question]
Sacrifice: /give [godname] [itemname]

The problem here is that gods are already "implemented" as (player) characters. So while the overall idea is appealing I doubt this can be done as easily as expected.
