Each deity should have between one and five Deific Concerns, with three being the standard. The order of the concerns should be representative of their importance to the god; thus the most important concern should be listed first, the next most important second, and so forth. The number of concerns a god has is a rough indicator of their overall power or relevance, thus a "demi-god" or "elemental prince" might only grant access to one or perhaps two concerns while the head of a pantheon might grant access to four. Five concerns should be rare, or be used to represent one god that is perceived differently by different cultures; for instance a god might represent Sun always, but also represents Fire and Good to one culture and Light and Healing to another. This would be annotated as: Sun, {Fire, Good}, {Light, Healing} EditSample AbilitiesEditSupported Domains- Air: Some deities are concerned about or associated with the sky, air, wind, or similar.
