Hey folks,

With a number of our Gods returning, we've reviewed some of our divine favor/disfavor effects and decided to make each of them a little more useful at each level. This includes the bad side of disfavours, so make sure you put on your best manners when interacting with a God!

You can look at HELP BLESSINGS for more information if you're unfamiliar with our divine favor system.

Warmth, Miasma, etc: These defences now stack with the favor damage reduction but are reduced to 5%.
Cosmetic: Gods can now set a custom favor and disfavor message for when you LOOK at someone.
