-===== Worshiping Gaea ===== 
  
-FIXME Move into [[:gods:​Gaea]] ​when it's created.+===== Player Information == 
 +The old guide entry : [[:guides:character_creation#​Gaea]]
  
 +==== General Gaming Experience ==
 +Followers of Gaea are prohibited from using melee weapons. ​ \\
 +This can be an impediment for many, but is required for [[:​races:​Fireborns]] , [[:​races:​Dragons]] , and [[:​classes:​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 [[:​skills:​melee]] due to restrictions on damage type. \\
 +At a high enough [[:​skills:​praying]] level Gaea will sometimes grant [[#Gloves of the Sun|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.
 +
 +=== Evaluative Criticism ==
 +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.
 +
 +=== Additional Comments ==
 +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.
