Alignment: Is the god good or evil, lawful, or chaotic, or are they neutral in their endeavors and desires? This is one of the most important things to consider, because some gods are evil. Nonetheless, they still seek powerful heroes to help them along the way.   Lore: This is information available to every hero of the crossroads in the handbook given to you by Hekate. It is the info that provides where they came from and/or what they are known for.   Personality Traits: Knowing how a god behaves, inter-acts, what their nature is, and various other social, societal, and personal behaviors goes a long way to knowing if you could tolerate a deity. Some can be considered annoying…” I am looking at you Apollon”!   Ideals: The ideals shape their attitude and behavior, should you partner with someone that has strong beliefs it could affect your ability to do things that go against it.   Bonds: The people/gods that they are bonded with are important to know, so if help or upset one them it can affect how well they work with you.   Flaws: Some flaws are hard to deal with, maybe you can help them with it or maybe not. Knowing what you are dealing with is always of the upmost importance.   Symbols: Knowing the gods symbol can help you with your journey in a lot of different ways. Learn them.   Worship: Some gods take their worship very serious, and reward you for honoring them, or punish you for not. If you cannot handle the worship, then pick a different god more suited to your lifestyle.   What you get from the Gods   Skills: Skills can be related to your skills as a person such religion or stealth. They can be something that enhances what you already do in combat.   Moves: Moves or Power are god skills that represent their realm.

Traits: Traits are things that change who you are to match the diety more. Selene, Amphi-trite, and Keres will change you completely. Make sure you can handle it.   Perks: Rewards are things that can be used in and out of combat to enhance you as a player. They are the 1st thing that they offer the Pa-tron. How to use your Patron moves/powers   To use a Patron related move/power they almost always require a bonus action. Every deity gives the person that serves them a focal point with their symbol on, and the bonus action activate that symbol and unleashes its power. Unless otherwise stated, they only require a bonus action.
