Best God for Prayer Beads
Okay, so let's say there's a bunch of clerics in the group arguing over who gets the Prayer bead that summons the avatar of a the priest's deity. How would you decide priority? Does this just devolve into "My god can beat up your god?"

Re: Best God for Prayer Beads
Not at all, you also have to think about whether the god might decide to smite you just for fun.
or because you're evil.

Re: Best God for Prayer Beads
Tell them you'll cut the bead in half and give each of them half. The first one to suggest giving the whole bead to the other cleric instead gets to have the bead.
Alternatively, tell them you'll cut the bead in half but instead use it to summon the avatar of your character's deity to kick some friendliness into their heads."Okay, so I'm going to quick draw and dual wield these one-pound caltrops as improvised weapons..."

Re: Best God for Prayer Beads
Whoever has the neutral god wins. Because he's least likely to solve the problem by wiping out the opposition.

Re: Best God for Prayer Beads
Whichever's most useful at the moment. Fighter's on death's door? Summon the healbot god. Need to stomp some orcs? Summon the goddess of slaughter.

Re: Best God for Prayer Beads
I'm afraid the Bead of Summoning no longer summons gods. It hasn't been that way since 3.0 I think.

I'm assuming the smiley means you are kidding, but just in case you aren't it comes from the Book of Kings. Originally Posted by Knaight

I might be misremembering but Beelzebub is playing 2e, not 3e. Originally Posted by Claudius Maximus

I thought it had to do with Dinosaurs myself. I jest about this, of course. Originally Posted by Elvenblade
