This pacth will add ethos and deities to your mud. Each character will select an ethos and select a deity to follow (including "no one" (no god) and "an unnamed God" (make up their own). NOTE: This patch was made for bpl17 with ascii pfiles, I do not have a binary version. I have made a couple comments here and there to point in the right direction for them, but I don't use binary files so am far from expert. It uses the spares in char_special_data_saved in the hopes that this will allow it to be used for binary files without invalidating them, however, as I said, I'm not far from expert there, so no guarantees. This will get your priests/clerics something more to do RP wise- instead of saying: Kylen calls out to her god, (start casting spell here) you can tailor it to be .. Kylen calls out to Alikazoo, (start casting spell here) add some more dynamics to the game. You can also create skills for priests to convert people, etc. Places that only people of a certain ethos may enter, spells/skills for people that have dedicated themselves to certain gods, the possibilites are pretty endless. There are probably some more efficient ways to do these, and if you think of some, I'd love to hear them. Standard disclaimer applies - back up your stuff just in case I'd be happy to answer any questions and would love to hear feedback. Dana Luther (dtluther@mindspring.com)
