[*][hider=Avatars & Demiplanes] Adult gods are capable of making a variety of extensions of themselves in order to achieve their goals. Avatars are small fragments of a god that operate independently. They are unique and powerful beings that enact the will of their creator, and are devastating in war and glorious boons in peace. They are considered second only to the gods themselves in overall ability, though they may be significantly more specialised. Depending on what they were made for and by which god, an Avatar's abilities and qualities will differ. These beings exist so long as their creator wills it or a more powerful Avatar or god destroys them. Unlike gods, Avatars can potentially be slain by heroes. The odds, however, must be tipped substantially in the Hero's favour. The cost of a god's first Avatar is 1 Might. If additional Avatars are created, up to a count of four, each will cost double that of the previous Avatar. Every Avatar after the fourth will cost 4 Might more than the previous one. Thus the ongoing cost is 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 12 - 16 - 20 etc. There is no limit on the number of Avatars a god can create, and Avatars are always taken to be at the same level as their creating god. Demiplanes are customised worlds existing in tiny pocket dimensions, largely inaccessible from the normal material universe. They can hold about as much territory as a small city-state, but can be expanded for additional Might. Each god can maintain only one demiplane. Upon creation, a god may choose the physical and magical laws of a demiplane, as well as what kind of basic terrain lies within it. It might lack gravity, for instance, or be made entirely of water, tunnels, or light. In order for such fundamental properties to be altered, the plane must be re-created from the ground up. While inside their native demiplane, a god is somewhat stronger than they are in ordinary reality, and can sense and shape the environment around them much more freely. Any creations unique to a demiplane must be made independently, and new creations cost as much inside the plane as they do outside. Typically, access to a demiplane is restricted to its owner and the gods to whom they permit entry. Demiplanes may also be sensed by other gods, and potentially breached or infiltrated. The difficulty of this depends on the nature of the plane and its defenses. Mortals require open portals or other such means to enter a demiplane. Sanctuaries hidden in a demiplane do not generate Might. [/hider]
