Honestly I haven’t played even 2 hours being a chaplain, because I really don’t understand what can be done being a chaplain, is there any guide to understand what is possible to do or invoke?
In one round I was sacrificed and they turned my body into a giant monster, but I don’t know how to ask for that kind of thing or what to do to make it happen (I know an admin has to do it).
chaplain is mostly an RP-focused role at the moment. they can do some funky stuff with their bible (like summoning a fruit bat familiar, blessing people to heal them, turning water into holy water, etc.), and have some interesting antag items (like the ability to summon a three-headed dog as a familiar), but most of their shtick is more roleplay-based than mechanics-based.
the different altars are just aesthetic differences right now, as far as i know. you can pray at them to request divine intervention, but there’s no guaranteeing how or if the gods will respond. best to be polite when praying.
To be slightly less cryptic here, prayers are sent to the admins who decide if they want to respond (assuming someone sees it), and how. So be polite, as a real person can see it. I think there is a pr to make chaplains more useful as a sort of ghostbuster in the works as well
