Hi everyone,
Very new to the game, so bear with me if the answer to these questions are "hidden in plain sight." :)
I'm in the process of helping someone create a character with the Oracle class. A couple questions have come up:
1. As we're going through the different Mysteries, we were wondering if it was okay to alter the patron deities for certain Mysteries to fit in with that character's personality and back story? For instance, can we choose the Heaven mystery, but add/remove a deity to fit in with that character's dislikes/likes (i.e. add Shelyn to the list of deities for the Heaven Mystery)?
2. Additionally, how do the chosen deities for said Mystery actually impact the game, or are they more utilized as plot tools for the GM?
3. Does the PC get the benefits from said deities, listed in the "Gods and Magic" booklet?
Thank you!
