I honestly don't know what to do.  If these gods can contact a character, it wouldn't make sense to only do it periodically.  It would make more sense to contact the character constantly, give them updates, protect them from harm, and allow the characters to take down the evil easily, eliminating the purpose of the roleplay.  It makes things hard to work with, opens massive plot holes...  I can't write anything to it.  Even telling some things and not others because of rules hits a few hard notes.  When I mentioned blessed amulets, it was in the same way as a rosary: no signicant power except a show of faith.  So if the gods/goddesses can tell things, why not sooner or more often?
 
I'm honestly sitting here, staring.  For days.  Chrono, PLEASE explain this one.

I believe that a Diviner is a LIVING holy symbol. Whereas some items can be blessed by priests and clerics, a Diviner is someone born as a holy item.

I can change the context to where he got visions of the book, as well as some of the murders... but this can also be seen as being 'touched in the head', and that most people think that he is just a practitioner of evil magic that raises the dead.

Like he had gotten the visions for the entire time period of the murders, and was doing private research to interpret the visions. Horace then told Elistra of the visions when she asked why he was studying so much rather than doing his normal charity and grocery routines.

NOTE: That entire post was a test to see how far a Diviner's "godly assistance" can go.
"From suffering I was born, From misery I was conceived. From the plight of Mortals I thrive, From the pits of Hell I rise, beware...... For I live.........."

"Wait, you're here for my shiny loot? I thought you were here to avenge the cattle and people I've slaughtered..."

"I may not always be a caring person, but even when I am furious, it is mostly at myself for becoming this way"

Ah.  I was just sort of stumped.  It does beg the question though: How far CAN they go without breaking Willing Suspension of Disbelief?
 
In my personal experience, I've only ever seen Diviners that can summon creatures and entities from other planes to protect and fight.  That's why I was so at a loss.  I'd like to see what you do with the role.  :)

I have an angry teddy bear with a flamethrower and a bad temper.

He's not as cute as Lucifer said he'd be, but at least the chainsaw is hidden.

I believe this is what he must adhere to:

  • He cannot perform miracles for the sake of ease.
  • No theft for any reason, even if it will save the lives of others.
  • Must offer mercy to any enemy asking for it, even if they intend to kill him later.
Breaking any of these will result in a punishment that can harm him, as well as the rest of the group.
