Ascended heroes

Ascended heroes are those (former) mortals who have become resident in the Astral by trading their mortality for a dependence on worship. They serve as "gods" to many of the cultures.

Rules

1. Ascended heroes can only be in one place at a time; they cannot create avatars. Thus, if they are destroyed anywhere, they are destroyed everywhere.
2. Ascended heroes can only interact across planar boundaries with mortals that worship them--there must be a pre-existing tie, voluntarily established by the mortal.
3. Ascended heroes cannot annoint clerics, they can only teach spells and enter into pacts.
4. The power of an ascended hero is directly proportional to the worship. Without worship, they must find another source of power to continue existence (ie become a devil or an angel or a demon).
5. Ascended heroes *can* be proactive and *can* discriminate based on style of worship
6. Ascended heroes are influenced by their worship and become the thing that their worshipers believe they are.
