A bit tangent, but what kind of benefits would "being secretly a prince" offer?FrankTrollman wrote: The gods are tough monsters and powerful sorcerers and giant statues full of magic and shit, and they are about as powerful as the toughest of their available angels and demons. But they are different from the elemental royalty and archdevils and shit because they have factions of their own that erect temples in their honor and spread their divine authority across the mortal world. And when you stab them in the face, their priests continue to have their powers and one of the priestly powers is to be able to contribute to a faction-wide effort to bring the god back.
Meanwhile, a Death wizard and a Death priest will still be able to cast pretty much the same Death magic. The difference is that the priest also has access to a very small number of priestly spells that do shit like bless allies and smite enemy demons. This is extremely doable in the realm of Kitchen Sink Fantasy, where taking the Cleric option in any class would give you access to a short list of prayers - maybe one per level or so. And that would mean that as a Fire Priest you would normally rain fire on people, but you could offer some blessings and smite enemy demons and when you got to high enough level you'd get a Planar Ally. This whole thing of having divine authority could take up the same part of your character that being secretly a prince or something would.

Also, it would be interesting if each god offered a passive blessing like better melee or spell resistance or whatever to their priests, and even if you weren't a priest you could grab the Sacred feat or the Shroud of the Battle Saint body slot magic item to gain said god's blessing.
