Does something happen when a monk worships xom?

[comebackshane]

I was wondering because " monks get ** piety when they first worship a god ". Does that apply to xom in some way?

Doesn't appear to. Probably it should.

Do they start with extra Xom interest?

http://s-z.org/neil/git/?p=crawl.git;a= ... HEAD#l3350 looks like they get nothing special.

Actually this happens when you join Xom:

  Code:

if (you_worship(GOD_XOM))
    {
        // Xom uses piety and gift_timeout differently.
        you.piety = HALF_MAX_PIETY;
        you.gift_timeout = random2(40) + random2(40);
    }


for all users (so Xom's "piety" is set to the halfway point)
then

  Code:

if (you.char_class == JOB_MONK && had_gods() <= 1)
    {
        // monks get bonus piety for first god
        if (you_worship(GOD_RU))
            you.props["ru_progress_to_next_sacrifice"] = 9999;
        else
            gain_piety(35, 1, false);
    }


Happens when you join any god (including Xom) as a monk I'm not sure that that's *useful* since piety doesn't mean the same thing for Xom, but yes, something happens when you join Xom as a monk.

Except gain_piety does absolutely nothing if your god is Xom:

  Code:

bool gain_piety(int original_gain, int denominator, bool should_scale_piety)
{
    if (original_gain <= 0)
        return false;

    // Xom uses piety differently; Gozag doesn't at all.
    if (you_worship(GOD_NO_GOD)
        || you_worship(GOD_XOM)
        || you_worship(GOD_GOZAG))
    {
        return false;
    }

Too Long, Didn't Read version:

If joining up with Xom is crazy, then a monk worshipping Xom is crazy with a side order of pointless.

    {
        return false;
    }

See that's what happens when you don't look at all the definitions of all the functions
