Gaea

Gaea Goddess of Peace, Guardian of Life, Mother of Nature

The god Gaea, generally considered to be the diety of nature,
is one of the more frequently worshipped gods in Bigworld.
It is said by some that Gaea's avatar takes the form of a panther.

The old guide entry : Gaea

Followers of Gaea are prohibited from using melee weapons.
This can be an impediment for many, but is required for Fireborns , Dragons , and Monks ,
so Gaea might be a natural choice for these, as there are many advantages.
These include immunity to all diseases, death, depletion, and draining attacks.
Other than dragons, who obtain elemental attacks with their claws over time,
Gaea followers may have problems damaging some opponents in melee due to restrictions on damage type.
At a high enough praying level Gaea will sometimes grant gloves which add a fire attack.
There are a few other items which give an additional attack type, but not many, so melee may be a problem.

Gaea's disadvantage is well-known: “NO WEAPON”.
To balance this out, Gaea grants a huge amount of special prayers,
fast hp/grace-regeneration, valuable path-attunes and drain/deplete-immunity.
The “goddess of peace” is surely not designed for the newbies.
But I think it is well possible to build a character from this cult.

I have added Glove of the Sun which will grant the monk the attack_type of fire
(it is a pair of gloves) to make up for the massive hole there.

Being a Gaean can be difficult because weapon use is denied

• If you choose to worship Gaea it is best to be a Fireborn or Dragon, and/or be a monk, because they’re already unable to use weapons.
• Using holy word, banishment, and other spells like that is very effective against unnatural creatures like Dreads and Beholders.
• Be careful if you are a Fireborn because you can kill yourself with holy word since Fireborns are unnatural.
  • (As a fireborn, I have doubts about this. I walked into a lvl 110 banish from a rod and came out fine. Maybe it’s changed…)
  • Verify if this is the case
