Faded altar: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:54, 13 June 2015

Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.

An Ecumenical altar allows players to convert to a random god they are eligible to join with a bonus +20 piety. If the player is already worships the chosen god, they still gain the bonus piety. After use, the altar will then become a normal altar of the given god, allowing the player to perform any altar-based actions (donations, weapon blessing, etc.) as usual.

Currently Ecumenical altars are being tested in trunk. Should they be included in the game, they will likely appear in version 0.17.

-As of now (June-12-2015) an Ecumenical altar will appear 50% of the time on D:2-D:3 for testing purposes, the developers have stated this is temporary. It has been suggested that later on it will be a 5% chance per floor between D:2-D:7. This will likely occur when .17 is fully released.
+Currently Ecumenical altars are being tested in [[trunk]]. Should they be included in the game, they will likely appear in version [[0.17]].
