Apollo appears as an incredibly handsome young
man. At will, he can
shape change,
polymorph
others,
turn
flesh to stone,
cause
diseases,
cure diseases,
&& [cure serious wounds] (1 per round).
The range of his +4 bow is that of his line
of sight, and his +3 arrows are
made of adamantite. Apollo has a lyre that
is able to raise a friendly
being's strength to that of a storm giant
for as long as the god plays, if he
so desires. It also bestows
curses && casts disintegrate
spells (1 at a time, up to once per round).
If Apollo is especially fond of a human
(judge's option), he may indirectly
aid him or her in a battle or give needed
advice.
In battle, he casts a purple haze around any single being (usu. himself) that will act as a +5 ring of protection.
Apollo has been known to lend his aid in several
ways; giving his archery skill to
mortals for special battles; giving his arrows
as gifts; healing heroes
in the thick of battle; and using his prophetic
power to advise.
Apollo is also the sun god, and it is said that he carries the sun across the sky each day in his solar chariot.
Apollo and his sister Artemis
are close companions. If either is in need of aid, there is a
60% chance that the other will come to help.
