Jeff Grubb/Kate Novak mention how the 'giving-power-through-faith'-thingy works when Finder explains it to Joel, which basically explained the concept of power through faith/followers to me (finally!):
Whenever a deity's name is spoken (acknowledged from my perspective) he gains power. The deity gains more power through prayer. If the prayer comes from a priest or somesuchthing the deity gains even more power, and if it is a chosen or favored priest there is even more of the same...
This makes things much clearer to me... even if a now-Banite curses Cyric, Cyric gains power from that, not much but a bit.
Now I just have to wonder if dead gods who are mentioned in conversation also gain some power while they are floating in the astral plane... this might be part of the reason Bane was able to come back...since Wizards won't indulge us regarding Bane's return I guess we'll have to wait...or guess...
Mace you wander in to an area where The Sage and I have mentioned once or twice in the distant past ^^ Deities are a bit of a Hobby of Mine, The Sage seems to specialize in... well practically Everything... the Know-it-all
It has to be Certain, the Gods Hate Me. For whatever irrevokable Fate, I have been made the walking Joke. Either that, or Beshaba is overlyfond Of Me. -Unknown
I've been wondering...
