Avatar

Description

Avatar are minions of the gods. When a god decides they need a minion for some purpose they select a soul/spirit and incarnate it in the form of an Avatar. Avatar are effectively immortal (in that they don't age) but exist only for as long as their creator deems necessary, until their incarnate form is destroyed, or they lose their Faith. When a God creates an Avatar they have the option of allowing the Avatar to know the God's common name or not. If not the Avatar works for the God knowing him(/her/it) as the Almighty or the one God, etc.

Powers

True Form	Avatars appear as normal mortals - the racial form of which is determined at creation. Unlike popular misconception Avatars always appear the same to every member of all races (unless they possess similar True Sight Powers). In their mortal form Avatars have a Horror/Awe factor of 4+1D6 if they are recognized. Their mortal form is not their True Form however. This form is also determined at creation and may be anything from the archetypal Angle, through a vibrant flame, to the most hideous monstrosity. The True Form generally reflects the God who created the Avatar. In their True Form Avatars have a Horror/Awe factor of 6+2D4. Avatars cannot maintain their True Form constantly. In any Day cycle (midnight to midnight) the Avatar can resort to its True Form for a total period equal to 10xlevel minutes.
True Seeing	Avatars have the ability to see the True Forms of all creatures (anything Supernatural). This power is akin to See Aura but gives no determination of power etc. The True Seeing power also allows them to see in darkness (not Magical) as if it were daylight, and to see invisible creatures (unless Psionic Invisibility and save failed). It also allows Avatars to see into the Astral Plane, and the Plane of Shadow.
Flight	Avatars have the power of magical flight but with limited duration. The Avatar my fly or hover motionless upto 50xlevel metres above the ground. The maximum speed of flight is equal to 60xSpd feet/minute. In any Day cycle (midnight to midnight) the total duration of flight must be less than 10xlevel minutes.
Direction Sense	Avatars always know which direction they are heading. The chance of determining an incline/decline without any external reference is IQx2+5% per level.
Time Sense	Avatars always know what time of day/night it is and the exact moment of sunrise/sunset. They are affected by temporal magic but can detect the time distortion effects.
Magic	Spells gained at same rate and manner as Mystic.
Sense Ley Line:	10Km per level, Locate 30% +5% per additional level
Sense Supernatural	100m plus 20m per additional level. Determine Possession IQ+35+7% per additional level.
