Lesser Power
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Lesser powers often serve other powets in the capacity of helpers. They are the least powerful of the upper echelons of divinity, in that they are entitled to exclusivity in their portfolios among all other deities of their rank and above. Their powers are mighty, but in no way equal those of greater or intermediate powers.
Shapeshifting: Lesser powers can change into any animate object they desire. Their power is restricted, however, so that their new form is an average example of the creature (with the addition of some superficial deific "special effects," perhaps). Thus, if a lesser power wished to become a stallion, it would look much like any other stallion.
Planar Travel: Like greater and intermediate powers, lesser powers can travel between planes at will. No physical or material barrier can hinder such transit, and they have no chance to arrive anywhere other than exactly where they intended. They are unable to enter the Prime Material Plane.
Sensing Ability: Lesser powers always know what is happening within 10 miles of themselves. They can extend their senses to include knowledge of all that is transpiring within 10 miles of any of their worshipers or any of their holy objects They can also extend their senses to know what is happening within 10 miles of where anyone or anything that speaks one of their names or titles currently is for a day after the name is spoken. This sensing ability can be blocked by the conscious effort of powers of equal stature or the unconscious desires of those of greater stature.
Creation: Lesser powers cannot cteate or duplicate any object out of nothing. But they know where to find any object that they desire that already exists. If they desire an object that does not exist, they can sense the location of those who can manufacture it. Often lesser powers have alliances with intermediate or greater powers that allow them to rely on their more powerful friends for assistance with the creation of objects.
Life and Death: Lesser powers share the ability to raise any previously living mortal being from the dead. They can do this at will and across any distance or barrier no matter what the current condition of the body.
Multitasks: Lesser powers can perform up to five tasks at once without penalties of any sort. Obviously, in some forms they may encounter physical limitations to the number of actions that can be attempted.
Avatars: Lesser powers can only use two avatars at a time, moving them throughout the planes at will. If one is destroyed, it requires one month to make another.

Requirements
Rank 6–10: Called lesser deities, these entities grant spells and can perform more powerful deeds than demigods can, such as sensing certain phenomena from ten miles away. Lesser deities have anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of worshipers and control larger godly realms than demigods. They also have keener senses where their portfolios are concerned.
