Hmm, I thought the Concealment/Detection mechanism was rather simple and straightforward and didn't want to bore anyone reading the OP more than I already was. If everyone is having difficulty understanding how it works, I can go back and expand on it.

That is what I was going for. Her Concealment is only Level 1 because, well, we don't exactly except Light to be able to hide well, nor would it have a reason to.

However, Detection would be higher because anything in the Light would be visible, and therefore more detectable (is that a word? I think so, since autocorrect doesn't do anything about it), at least more so than if one would be hiding in the shadows.

The one small excerpt you placed in the Levels hider wasn't very clear on exactly how Detection and Concealment worked, so perhaps I made it a bit too high. I can easily lower the level to, like, say, 2 or 3.


Basically, to get to the nub of the matter, she can't be above Level 1 in either because you haven't spent any Might to make her better at those things.
Any inherent Detection abilities she has due to her Domain (Portfolio) are accounted for in her inherent powers, just like a god of Earth's power over Earth is accounted for in the fact that they are an Earth god - if that makes sense.
@Valor At the very beginning, before a Universe has been created, all gods are at level 1. After the creation (which will take place in Turn 1), all gods will have used up all their Might and gone up to Level 2 due to the creation process.
Turn 1 and the Creation will be very much introductory, more an exercise in choreography between all of us, once that's done we can go crazy.

I have looked and double-looked for any mentions of concealment and detection. The ONLY mentions I have found them is only a very small area in the Levels hider. THAT'S IT.


A god's essence leaves a mark, or a trail, wherever they go. This trail, unless concealed, can be detected by other gods. Might can be used to strengthen a god's concealment, and detecting these trails requires the expenditure of Might by a god on their detection capabilities. Detection and concealment naturally rise by 1 per level.


Yup, that's all there is to it. Quite simple. Gods now have detection/concealment levels which naturally rise by 1 whenever they level up. A god can use Might to increase their concealment/detection level.
As all gods begin at level 1, both concealment and detection must necessarily begin at level 1 also.
I might want to also add that a god's domain and portfolio does increase or decrease inherent concealment/detection capabilities. A god of Light would be far worse at detection/concealment than a god of Trickery

Oh, the link. I thought you were talking about the cs. Still, the image works fine for me. What a shame tho, I liked that image.

Also, her detection level is 4 because..... it's, um, hard to hide in the light?

I can change it if you want.


xDD it seems you haven't understood the newly added Concealment/Detection mechanic - go read the second OOC post and do what it says ;P
Wait a minute. I remember this. IIIIII remember this.

This was the roleplay where I designed Achozaal, spider-newt earth god of caverns, and made him create a goblin race of underground warriors.

That was ages ago, but wow, how we all come back to where we came from in the end. Anyway, I don't have the freedom of time and responsibility to take this up again right now, but I sure am interested in seeing where it goes. Pity the collapse of Oldguild took away the chance to compare my writing from then with now.

Good luck, little godlings!


Termite!!!! Where have you been?! I would have loved for your character to come back to this. If you're ever free again, know that there'll always be a place for you (whether you choose to reclaim the Caverns or not xP)
@Kho Her detection level is 4, not concealment.

Also, what exactly is wrong with it? I don't know how to fix it if no one tells me what's wrong.


It's just a broken link. Find another picture on google or something
And yeah, sorry, why is her Detection Level 4?
@ScarifarNop, still doesn't work. And why is her Concealment Level 4?

By the way, everyone, if there is anything about the OP or the RP in general that you don't understand, please let me know.
@Lugubrious @Valor your characters both have a relationship with souls (Life and Death invariably do) - you can either set limits on how much each of you controls, or you can leave it as is and allow an IC battle for dominance xP (which would be fascinating, especially if we throw in a certain Great Lich...)
