Gameplay
Higher Powers have been superceded by Eidolons and are no longer available.
Higher Powers are considered T6 and function as a hybrid between a
StoryRunner and a more regular character.
They come in one of three types, demon, fae or god and are consequently
bound to one of those three worlds(hell, other, godrealm) and are generally
unable to leave it.
Higher powers are restricted from giving items/money similarly to SRs, they
can also be trusted with the trust command and can use most storyrunner
commands on those who have trusted them including: Swalk, home, remote privates,
Spy, Inflict/Cure, Probe, hurt/injure, world award, emit, and summon.
They cannot however kill or critically injure PCs.
Higher powers have a domain, they can use domain expand in their world
to add rooms to their domain, starting off with 5 rooms they gain more as
people RP inside of their domain, this also gives bonus newbie exp/rpexp
to further enhance themselves.
Characters can add to the domain of higher powers by using develop buildshrine.
In Haven township this will add a single room, in the wilds or inner forest a
room and all surrounding rooms, in the outer forest, a room and all rooms in
a two room radius.
Characters can also dedicate calendar events to a particular higher power,
which will extend their domain into the room where the event is taking place
for the duration.
Being inside a higher power's domain grants trust level 1, and this increases
to 2 after 45 minutes and 3 after 90 minutes. This only happens if someone
enters the domain voluntarily. Higher powers can enter other worlds as long
as they stay within their domain via swalk. Higher powers can never enter
the domain of other higher powers.
If a higher power creates a dreamworld that will also be considered part
of their domain and they will be able to see any RP that happens in it
as long as it isn't flagged private.
Higher powers have similar combat protections to nightmare monsters and
are even stronger in their own domain, they can be defeated but cannot be
killed by any means and will break out of any bindings almost immediately.
Higher powers cannot join societies or otherwise get involved in most regular
Haven activities such as patrols.
Higher powers can only own one house and one shop.
The 'summoning' ritual can be used to teleport a higher power to your location
as long as you have a 'binding circle' place in that location. For some time
the higher power is trapped and unable to use most of their powers or abilities.
If someone else joins the binding circle place the higher power can act against
them however and anyone in the room can use 'break circle' to ruin the circle
and unleash the higher power.
It is permissible to play a higher power and another high tier and/or supernatural
character at the same time. It is also permissible for your other characters to
be worshipers/servants/minions etc of your higher power but not the other way around.
That is your PC can work in the interests of your higher power, your higher power
cannot work in the interests of your PC.
