This really is a knotty problem. On the players' side, they're unsure how much the effect costs, and so they want to leave it vague, whereas on the GM's side, it's uncertain how large an effect the players want, not to mention that GM-discretionary expenditures like that may result in overbudgeting. For example, Tower lets you double Swords or Chalices at home, Temperance(reversed) doubles the effect of Swords used for ravages, and probably some others I forgot... and if another deity is unaware of these arcana and tries to attack or counteract the deity with them, he might be uncertain of the cost and nevertheless find that it's higher.
When two deities try to counteract eachother, make them both make a bid (in swords/pentacles/etc.) in PM to you. That gives you an exact amount. Otherwise, vague amounts should be enough?

Right. Any objections to me taking over? And should I look for someone to turn Martin over to, leave him NPC, or remove him from the game?

That might be influence from, well, Greek myth and pretty much everything with deities which are large-scale humans. They have an endless set of buggery, rape, bastards, halfbreeds, unusual methods of procreation, cuckolds, etc. It appears to be wired into the genre.
Also, sig material.

For the record, Fervivus is only a bastard because Quod can't marry themself.
But they were spawned from the divine union of Quod, to Quod. Thus them being an Archon, and not a mere Hero.

A deity with Swords(r) cannot perform a 'Ravage' action. I think you need to tell me what exactly you mean by 'attacks'.
One deity attacking another deity. Apocalypse.
Quote:
Gods with Swords(reversed) may not spend more than half the swords they had in the first round for offense.
WTF?
What, exactly, does one
do
in an Apocalypse if one has Swords(r)? And are Apocalypses always to the death, or can one attempt to withdraw or cancel?

Sorry, I was in the OUTSIDE WORLD at the time (the mechanics are pretty cool but a bit overly complex and some strange things happen if you use the rules on a small scale)
Yes. Yes. Yes. A deity with Swords(r) cannot perform a 'Ravage' action. I think you need to tell me what exactly you mean by 'attacks'. Where you post the use of arcana varies on the arcana. Some Arcana is active constantly, other sorts is usable once per year. You do not expend Arcana.
You can if you want - I do ask that if you make lengthy prose can you include a quick summary as an OOC note? It can be difficult to extract relevant information otherwise.
