Haha. I feel like rabbits are already annoying in this way. I'm pretty sure carrots are relatively common (based on how often they show up when polypiling) but you rarely find them because they all get eaten quickly.

Also who are the other agents?

Speaking of, perhaps golems should be allowed to eat items made of their own material to heal themselves?
I really like that idea. Or maybe beyond healing, could actually make it stronger. Could be pretty epic if there was a golem made from the dirt surrounding it and it just kept getting more powerful
hmm...

I've never played D&D or other pen & paper RPGs.
But from your notes it sounds like rather than praying and having the god take an action immediately, the god would grant the player a "spell" which they can save and use later when they want to. Is that right?

That's hilarious and so appropriate for this game

So I think what you're saying is that we could have a magic system that is laid out on cartesian coordinates (x and y axis).
Each (x, y) point represents a different magic specialty/ability/quality. Maybe each quadrant (+x +y, +x -y, -x -y, -x +y) will have related specialties.
If you read a book or take some other action you will be moved to point (x, y). But you can later move somewhere else
Is that about right?
Does that mean you are limited to 1 specialty at a time? What effect do they have? For example, if you get "Holiness", what can you do with that?

Good points Erno. Yeah I would be fine with the player asking for something specific as long as it's not 100% guaranteed that they get it. Although I don't think that should be based on alignment, more based on your favor with that god.

Hm, I don't like the idea of being able to communicate directly with the gods to ask for a specific type of prayer or a specific item. I just don't think the gods would have enough time to deal with all these puny mortals and their requests.
Plus if you're panicked and about to die, you're probably just desperately praying without having the time to think it through carefully. (by "you" I mean the character, not the person controlling the character)
The game could determine if you're panicked, hungry, have low HP, etc. to give protection.
