Proposal: Piety meter for Xom
- very special plaything
- special plaything
- plaything
- toy
- favourite toy
- beloved toy
- teddy bear
If this information, which is the component of Xom's "piety" made known to the player, should indeed be available to the player,
having to check your ^ screen to know it in case you want to take it into account, is a bit of an interface impairment, and I don't think Xom is the god of interface screws.
Since the piety meter is unused, it could be repurposed in this fashion:
- *..... very special plaything
- .*..... special plaything
- ..*.... plaything
- ...*... toy
- ....*.. favourite toy
- .....*. beloved toy
- ......* teddy bear
That's seven stars, but "very special plaything" might as well be six dots and then go from *..... to .....*
Just one star shifting position would reflect the fact that what is meaningful is the distance from the middle, not the total amount as with other gods. An advantage I think that could come out of this piety meter is that players would be able to more organically adapt to / roll with Xom's flow.
