177 Holy (1/2)

[Faith Domain passive powers*:

Alignment form \u0026 aura: You can take on forms that are unique to each alignment you can influence. This includes combination-alignments such as ”Chaotic-good” or ”Lawful-evil”. You also gain an aura that amplifies the effects you have on creatures of the alignment your form is taken from. Those auras can only be activated when you have the right form on.

Angelic aura: You can project an aura that renders angels unable to hurt you and forces them to acknowledge your divinity. This aura also prevents ranged attacks from hurting you.

Angelic creation: You can freely create lesser to intermediate angels. This is an upgraded version of the active power you have through the spirit domain. You can create angels from any domain you have influence over. Angels are powerful tools, not to be created or used lightly.

Angelic form: You can take on the form of a supreme angel, granting you a form becoming of a higher being by transforming you into a massive entity with six wings and a single vast blade and shield comprised of divine energy.

Angelic physiology: You can take on the traits of an angel. This includes things like constructing your own halo and creating angelic weapons which do not harm those you chose but inflict lasting damage to anyone else, especially to extraplanar entities. This also includes little things like absorbing radiant divine energy and the ability to use artifacts created by and for other gods.

Awe inducement: You can induce awe in mortals and lesser extraplanars. An awe-struck creature cannot willingly harm you and is likely to begin to pray to you or to merely submit to you. Awe can mean reverential adoration or even holy or unholy fear.

Create food \u0026 drink: This power intersects the domains of agriculture, nature, and faith and allows you to create especially influential food and drink that is also incredibly delicious and addictive, freely.

Create holidays: You can create holidays that your worshippers learn of through the system and are likely to observe. These holidays can be marked by services and sacrifices to you.

Create holy/unholy object: You can create holy or unholy objects that radiated divine or unholy power. This can include buildings, but it can also be something as small as a holy pen or unholy pencil. The precise effects of these objects are up to you.

Create rituals: This power allows you to create rituals that your followers can learn and can use to activate potent effects and gain significant boosts to their own power, temporarily.

Divine element manipulation: This particular power is one of the greater ones that exist due to your unique status as both a deity and elemental overlord. With it, you can use holy fire, holy water, divine earth, sacred light, and other such divine things. These elements are good in nature and heal mortals and hurt evil extraplanar entities.

Divine presence: This power is more primal than an aura. You can cause things in your presence to feel better, or to suffer as a result of the divinity you radiate, and you can cause a number of other effects related to the things you have influence over.

Holy/Unholy voice: By synergizing a number of domains and subdomains you gain the power to ambiently channel both divine and unholy energy into your voice. This power allows you to do things such as heal or hurt just by speaking. You can purify or corrupt simply by speaking. Your voice can also induce emotions that you yourself can induce. You can also creatively affect extraplanar entities by using this power and speaking to them with the right voice.

Revelry aura \u0026 manipulation: You can cause creatures to be filled with an urge to revel and be merry. This is especially potent if you do it on people in your presence and know that you are a god.

*: Other powers exist, this is just a list of those that are primarily faith-based.]

________________________________________________

”These powers are... incredible.” I muttered to myself when I finished looking through them. I was truly awed by these powers, especially the element based ones. I could predict a number of ways that they could be tremendously useful.

By the time I had finished looking through the powers I had acquired, I found myself exploring the dimension again. Dunkelheit wasn't the only settlement in the region I could detect, and I had wanted to explore more and also practice my powers so I had ventured, alone, into the darkened wilderness.

________________________________________________

As I stepped through the darkened woods I gazed at myself using my mind-form. My current form was still in the exact outfit I had worn shortly after I arrived at Htrae. It was a nice outfit for wandering through the world of humans and ”modern technology”, but it felt odd to wear such an outfit in a layer where the only constant was evil.

As I stepped through a ”clearing”, where there were relatively few trees, I tapped my chest and transformed the clothes that I had on into an outfit that made sense in a place like this. My shirt disappeared altogether, exposing my muscular chest to the chilly forest air, and my pants vanished and were instantly replaced with chausses, armor for my legs. The main purpose of the leg armor wasn't to protect my legs, but rather to give me a more fitting appearance as I wandered through the sinister forest.

As I made my way through the darkened forest I began to think about a specific class. Or rather specific classes. My mind turned to thoughts of the fact the untested classes I had lurking within me.

Among my untested classes were the paladin and dark knight classes. Paladins and dark knights were the good and evil-aligned warriors of the gods. Each was a powerful champion of a god and possessed a number of potent powers. With each step I took into the woods, further and further away from my home, the more fun I had at the thought of using this exploratory trip as a means to test the powers I had lurking within me.

”I suppose I might as well have some fun here...” I told myself, a confident smirk on my face as I materialized a powerful longsword in my hand made from angelic energy by using my new ”Angelic physiology” ability. The blade was made of solidified light and I could sense the potent, holy energies pouring out of it.

The blade felt good in my hand, natural even. It appeared to weigh next to nothing and I took a few practice swings with it just to see how it felt in motion. Unsurprisingly it continued to feel weightless and I found it exhilarating to use. And soon enough I was close enough to the nearest demonic settlement that I could see a tiny watchtower and the low-ranking demons tasked with sitting in it and keeping an eye out for any visitors, or invaders. When I was close enough that I could see the demons, I closed my eyes and teleported to the tiny watchtower.
