That might count as penance, but not restitution. You could always, say, pay Scapheap a certain amount of energy to replace the 2,500 people...or find some method in your power to try and return the equivalent of 2,500 people to the mortals. Remember, I can be flexible--if you come up with a way for a disease to be "worth" the lives of 2,500 people, I'd accept that as restitution (assuming I thought the reasoning was valid).

My turn involves making a person learn about medicine that halts spread of the plagueThat's a good bit of penance. More is ideal, but stopping your own disease and thereby depriving you of power shows remorse at least.
Don't be too harsh, Greatwyrm. Only about 60-80% of those deaths were from disease.Oh...really? What were all the other deaths-in-excess-of-births from?

FINALLY, a last word of advice for those planning; as should be clear, your actions that are meant to gain or destroy worship, take place in the following turn for things like followers, and the populations will grow at 10% per turn. Because I think a little less than 1% per year sounds about right for a horrible medieval time full of death and plague and war.Population growth rates can be 3-4% in rural nations, IIRC, but of course we're a bit better off than they were.

Jebyg, calm down. They are autonomous. But their fragile bodies cannot support that much divine power without Ascending. Right now, they're perfectly fine and badass and powerful. In my mind, they're each about as powerful as an Eladrin, and there are 20 of them, each with a miniature army(consisting of around a few dozen people, with how small the world is, of course).Which reminds me. About how many normal humans (assuming average levels of skill and armament) could one of the Eladrin attack and expect to defeat?
Also, I didn't specify, but how are they on mortality and reproduction?

Another final thing( :p ), diseases can affect gods....Oh crap.
Not entirely true, for me at least.Jbg wants to incite holy war by upgrading his warbands against fear/diseasethat's what is the summary
I'm trying to corrupt humans before killing many of them off
GWG wants to fight against chaos disorder and disease, while killing off evil in the world
General idea's the same, but I'm more trying to remove evil rather than kill it. There's a difference--removal allows for conversion.
And why are you guys so good at ninjaing?
