make Fedhas passively let worshipers walk through water
This should not occur for flying players, ice form players, merfolk players, octopode players, certain drac players (I might be forgetting someone) - or, actually, maybe it should!
The main point of this proposal is to eliminate the comparative advantage Octopodes and especially Merfolk have when worshipping Fedhas. Fedhas is a pretty weird-sounding god. I bet many players pass Fedhas up because they're playing a species not super well-suited to a god that can make puddles at the drop of a hat, and that's a pity. This is a case where a leveler playing field is desirable, especially with so few species capable of natural swimming or flight.
This makes getting stuff like ammo from deep water easier. Sure, you can use Sunlight instead, but why mandate that the player press a bunch more keystrokes to get something done? Sunlight has other uses, and its effect on water can be reframed as its main drawback.
This also solves the strangeness of Rain leaving a full circle of deep water around you, but not on you. Just let Rain dump at least as much water on your tile as on the surrounding tiles.
Of course there are other perks to momentarily removing water from your tile, like preventing terrible Nymph attacks and preventing bolt of cold from spawning freezing clouds.
There must be a question regarding non-flying tramplers, but tramplers can be made to treat the player as if they were flying or in ice form when in water.
