Appearing as a handsome teenager,
this god has maximum thieving abilities.
He moves as a blink dog <link dog>,
is always hasted.

One of Hermes' functions is that of a messenger of the gods to mortals,
and in this capacity he will occasionally be seen by high level clerics of the various Olympian sects,
bringing messages from their deities.
He also acts as an arbiter of disputes between the gods.

Hermes wears a pair of winged sandals that allow him to fly,
has a helm of invisibility (as the ring of the same name),

Caduceus:

and he carries a white caduceus,
a winged rod with two entwined serpents.
It gives the god complete control over all non-magical creatures other than man (no saving throw).

All of Hermes' clerics must keep physically fit and be able to run long distances,
no matter how important their position.
They must also carry a white rod as a symbol of their devotion.
Clerics of Hermes often act as professional arbitrators.
Their reputation for fair settlement of disputes keeps them busy in this line of work.
Hermetic arbiters who accept bribes or other graft may (15% chance per offense) be punished by the god.
