TSO, Kiku, And Luggy...and Brands
Generally speaking, the brand options given by these gods are not the greatest things around. Most players will have an endgame weapon that would benefit from, say, elec or the like moreso, and will likely have artefact weapons for much of the game. Holy Wrath and Distortion are both powerful, but there is no guarantee you'll actually need the option of getting that brand.
And besides, branding a weapon like that is just...not flavorful (IMO).
What I think would be cool is if these gods granted those brand effects passively to your weapons. So you have the Arga axe. That axe now also has the Holy Wrath effect because you are at max piety with TSO.
Or maybe your +9 demon whip "Ilkje" {elec, +6 dex rN++ rF+} has distortion effect because of Lug. etc.
Thoughts?
