*Did you know that clerics of Avlissian Gods have wieldable, equippable Holy Symbols available? Besides being an excellent RP tool, they're quite powerful when your cleric gets a few levels under his belt... to get one, ask a DM. To use it, equip the generic symbol you're given and use the unique power on it. It'll transform to a Symbol of your character's deity. After that, you'll have two special powers available when you put the Symbol in your shield hand. Each use of a power costs one 6th level spell and one Turn Undead use. So what's it do? OK, here's the breakdown. For purposes of this, Greater Deities have a rank of 4, Intermediates, 3, and Lessers 2, and Demigods 1. If you don't know which rank your deity has, [[Deific_Chart | look it up on the wiki]]... | |||
