| The [[good gods]] are three gods of ''Dungeon Crawl'''s pantheon who are allied together in the fight against evil: [[Zin]] the Law-Giver, [[the Shining One]], and [[Elyvilon]] the Healer.
| | #REDIRECT [[Good gods]] |
| | |
| ==Characteristics==
| |
| The good gods, being allies, have several features in common:
| |
| *A strict code of conduct to which followers must abide.
| |
| *Hatred for all [[evil]] monsters, gods, weapons, and magic ([[Necromancy]]).
| |
| *No [[divine retribution]] for leaving their religion or converting to another god, unless it is [[evil]]. [[Penance]] is still incurred, but the god simply does not act upon it. This is true even when switching to another good god.
| |
| *A sizable chunk of starting [[piety]] for switching to another good god.
| |
| *A chance, based on [[piety]], to make holy beings you encounter neutral towards you.
| |
| *Several defensive and protective powers granted to their followers, requiring the training of [[Invocations]].
| |
| *Good gods may intervene to save your life on an otherwise fatal blow.
| |
| *Undead [[species]] and [[demonspawn]] are not allowed to worship a good god.
| |
| | |
| ==Code of Conduct==
| |
| The good gods share a code of conduct. Common elements across all three are:
| |
| *No drinking of [[blood]].
| |
| *No [[cannibalism]].
| |
| *No [[Necromancy]].
| |
| *No [[unholy]] items.
| |
| **Wielding unholy weapons is fine, but actually attacking with one is not allowed. This allows you to take advantage of non-combat benefits provided by unholy [[artefact]] weapons safely. Wearing unholy armour, however, is immediately frowned upon.
| |
| *No attacking non-hostile holy beings.
| |
| | |
| Each god has additional requirements based on their likes and dislikes:
| |
| *[[Zin]] hates [[chaotic|chaos]] and [[mutation]]s, but rewards selfless donations of [[gold]], even taking a [[tithe]] from the gold followers pick up.
| |
| *[[The Shining One]] demands honourable combat and the slaying of [[undead]] and [[demon]]s. The Shining One also appreciates followers scouring the world to encounter its denizens and determine whether they must be purged of evil.
| |
| *[[Elyvilon]] preaches a creed of pacifism and prefers that you [[pacify]] monsters instead of killing them. Sacrificing weapons, especially evil ones, will also earn the Healer's favour.
