How about healing in a slightly different sense. The regeneration of nature. We could expand eventually beyond rabbits and small animals to all wild creatures, and our most devout followers are given the endurance and resilience of nature; including the ability to recover from disastrous wounds. Given time, nature takes back what is hers. As a forest grows back after a wildfire, our followers surge back from the brink of death. I like the idea of becoming a god(dess) of nature.

-1 to nature magic because we are the god of Rabbits not Nature. There's probably already a Nature god.

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.

...but we are not supposed to stay only the god of rabbits, our purpose is to expand and eventually become the god of everything.

The way I see it, we have four options:
1) Buff the Religion (aka our Sphere)
2) Buff the Followers (aka mom)
3) Buff the Sibyl (aka Eve)
4) Buff ourselves (aka Alore)

Though we definitely need to expand our sphere of influence, let's try to keep this new power within the realm of our existing sphere for now. 

What are rabbits good at?  That's right, mating hiding!  Since we seem determined to use our new power to buff Eve, we could gain the ability to grant Stillness; so long as the recipient remains motionless, enemy eyes will pass right over her.  She's a scout, after all.  Stealth and Perception are pretty high in demand for her at the moment.  Stillness would come in handy more often than "recover from sucking chest wound".  Though I admit I do like the idea of "The Resilience of Nature", we DEFINITELY need a bigger sphere before we can grant that as a passive power to all our followers.

Fair points. Plus I like the Stillness power, +1

Disease and death from infections are a major source of casualties in warfare.  We can already offer flame divination to the generals, if we can keep soldiers alive before and after combat many will begin praying to us.

Not to mention we should probably be offering rabbit sense powers for sacrifices to the other scouts in her unit.  For scouts and hunters we could offer the rabbit senses in exchange for a vow of silence, not to eat rabbits and a weekly/monthly sacrifice.

Being able to cure/prevent infections and reduce the severity of diseases is low key enough we could probably do it without much mp cost, just fixing probabilities rather then.. wolverine style regeneration.

I need some consensus, so far the most popular choices seem to be

1. Nature regen powers
2. Stealth powers

But they are currently tied by my count.

I'm feeling "in the zone" today so I'm going to release another update tonight (scratch that, it'll be tomorrow night), since the last one lacked much player interaction/choice. If you guys can rally behind one suggestion, it will be put in. If not, no worries, I'll just put it in later.

Hope you guys are enjoying this so far.

You can add a poll to the thread, you know.

1 to Stealth.  It'll make for a better story, if nothing else.
