Oghma looks like an aged, white-haired
man. <find new image>
He is the best wrestler of all the gods
and considered their champion when fights with giants occur.
He is also patron of things creative and
beautiful in man and woman alike.
His love of song, story, and poetry causes
him to often visit the earth in
human shape and travel from hold to hold
seeking especially gifted people.
There is a 1% chance that he is listening
to an original composition when it is sung, and there is a 5% chance that
if a song or tale was spread by others he would hear it and reward the
creator with great wealth in the form of gold "strangely" given by the
lord of the particular hold that person was visiting and performing at.
His two main powers are the ability to
answer any question after a short period of study (the more difficult the
question, the longer it takes) and the fact that he knows the secret
name of any non-godlike creature.
In Celtic mythology, everything has a
name it gives to the world, and another secret name that links it to its
soul.
If any being knows the secret name, he
or she can control the creature or being or simply make them die (save
vs. death applicable).
In battle he wears +4 chainmail and demands
that all his enemies wrestle (grapple) with him.
If they win, he leaves the battle.
If he wins, they are forced to leave the
battle.
His strength is such that when facing
any being, he will have equal to that being's strength plus his own.
Oghma is known as The Binder for his ability to successfully force demons && devils into a special prison of his making where they stay imprisoned until he wishes to bring them out.
