* Automatically know when somebody speaks your name...hear n words around it...

Special Manses or Aetherbubbles--Setup an aetherbubble or area that becomes a sanctum. The god has more powers than a typical manse owner--could have those summonable Denziens, maybe they can suppress certain effects, or they can set conglutination to their own bubble rather than their nexus.

Not to sure about blocking teleportation, but do they need a new thunderclap-like skill?

Sure, and while your at it, make it destroy all armor and swords of warriors, force the Fae away for half an hour for wiccans, force the angels/demons to dissappear for half an hour and destroy their symbols, and destroy all instruments in the room.

1 ... no.
2 ... maybe but still sounds way too powerful.
3 ... no.
4 ... yay single player village influencing. Or in other words: no.
5 This does sound interesting but is probably hell to code. Can't see it happening.
6 ... no, no no no no no! If you want something game wide just do a shout. I can totally see the ability to world emote being abused -badly- five seconds after demigods get it.
I know it's hard to come up with ideas, I'm trying too and failing a bit. But I do think that what demigods need is not totally OP PVP'ness but rather nifty utility powers. Things that make them -different- from mortals and from each other.

Diamante's had the best idea so far... and ialie. I don't see the problem with seeing other people's tells ICly... because you know... Achaea/Imperian/Aetolia has it. I always wanted telepaths to have that ability, actually, since it makes sense

No. Blue protects spoken communication. It protects you from being listened to via Enchanted Portaits and buried eyeballs, as far as I know. Dunno about tracker pets though.

Denial of denial of request denied. Other games having something bad doesn't make it a good idea for us to have it. Not everyone has blue, and you shouldn't have to get a skill to stop your tells being spied on. Your tells are YOUR business. The only people who should be able to violate that (and I hate when they do it, but it's necessary for them to be able to I guess) are the admin.

Having fanned your spark of divinity beyond mortality, you have ascended to higher levels of awareness and power than is comprenhendable by the average mortalkin. This grants you a number of abilities.
Some of the other things in your post were quite interesting, but this starting intro is totally wrong, as it is more the definition of an ascended or vernal god, not a demigod.Anarias2007-02-04 17:05:00

Since Demigods aren't Vernal Gods, if (as per some of the suggestions) they CHOOSE to go down a 'path' (or bonding or whatever you call it) then as well as gaining some powers, perhaps it should also make them vulnerable in some key area (to something diametrically opposed to their path or bond). I'm not saying instakill vulnerable, just 'more' vulnerable against something than previous. These kind of bitter sweet choices would help further delineate the different demigods and aid in rp.

The benefits would have to outweigh the vulnerabilities, or no demigods would ever choose to bond.

What alarms me about that suggestion is the potential for misunderstanding over what tells are IC and what are OOC.
Oh probably won't be used, can you imagine hearing things that even the ADMINS DON'T WANT TO SEE for fear of having to tear their eyeballs out of their sockets to spare themselves the agony? Why subject yourself to such torture?

Necro. With the influx of Titans and Demigods, had some new ideas.
- Altering the weather. Demigods would choose one particular weather type, and be able to alter the weather to that type at will. You know, maybe Aesyra likes sunshine and Kaervas likes it gloomy and cloudy. Supernals know what Ialie would like. Probably a gentle rainstorm followed by a sunny sky so the rainbows would shine.
- Jamming aethers in the local area. Tells will still go through. Order channels will still go through. The novice channels would still go through. Market would still go through.
- Being able to scry an unlimited distance from any plane. Innate ability. Customizable. "You created a small rainbow in sky before you and peer through at. You see at .
- Resistance to insanity. Being a Demigod has got to give some perks.

Altering weather... not sure how feasible to code.
Jamming aethers.. don't think that would be appropriate.
Any scry ability like that would have to cost essence.
Resistance to insanity? Hell no. It's easy enough to get essence.
