	Cheibriados is one of the riskiest gods on first worship. Even when you have 0* piety, Chei slows your movement speed - ~~making it impossible~~ to ~~retreat normally from enemies~~ - with minimal benefit in return. While you do get some very powerful tools later on, worshipping Cheibriados will greatly magnify the deadliness of your mistakes for the entire game. One careless step could translate to two or three needless enemy attacks, which be lethal then and there. Fortunately, Chei only affects your ''movement'' speed; all other actions act as normal.

	Once you reach a decent amount of piety, you'll get some fairly significant stat boosts. Any character can afford to wear heavier armour, while having more powerful attacks, while casting spells with greater success. Casters and ranged fighters benefit the most from these boosts. They can also attack from a distance, meaning you don't have to slowly walk towards an enemy.		Once you reach a decent amount of piety, you'll get some fairly significant stat boosts.
