Heironeous always wears a suit of fine,
magical chainmail with a bonus of +5. At
his birth, Heironeous had his skin imbued
with a secret solution. Weapons
under +2 value cause him no harm,
shattering upon contact (scoring a hit).
Magical +2 weapons score only 25% normal
damage, while +3 score 50%. Only +4 or
greater value weapons cause full damage.
Weapons whos magical power would
normally sever body parts will not do so
to Heironeous, although they will inflict
full damage.

In addition to his normal attacks,
Heironeous can loose a bolt of energy
drawn from the Positive Material Plane.
He can draw and loose such lightning-
like strokes as frequently as once every 7 rounds,
but he can CAST no more than
seven such bolts in any given week of
time. Creatures of the Prime Material
Plane suffer 5-30 points of damage, as do
those of the lateral neutral planes (lawful
neutral-chaotic neutral). The energy bolt
does not harm to inhabitants of the
Positive Material Plane or those of the
Upper Planes. It causes 10-60 points of
damage upon those native to the Lower
Planes (lawful evil-chaotic evil), and to all
undead creatures as well. Denizens of the
Negative Material plane suffer 15-90
points of damage from a stroke. (A wand
of negation or a sphere of annihilation
can effectively discharge the stroke
without harm.)  The bolt strikes but a
single target. It is not magical in nature.
It always hits the TARGET. Range is 70 feet.
Casting time is one segment. Duration is
instantaneous.

Heironeous is the champion of rightful combat and
chivalrous deeds. Likewise he is the deity of those
who fight for honor and strive for order and justice.
Heironeous often leaves the Seven Heavens in order <>
to move around the Prime Material Plane in order to
aid heroic causes and champion lawful good.

Heironeous is tall, with coppery skin, auburn hair,
and amber eyes. However, he has the power to create
an illusion which makes him appear as a young boy, a
mercenary soldier, or an old man. In the latter guises
he will be garbed appropriately, but he always wears a suit of
fine, magical chainmail. At his birth, Heironeous had his skin
imbued with a secret solution, which protects him
from many weapons, magical and non-magical alike.

His personal weapon is a great magical battle axe
which shrinks to one-twentieth of its normal five feet
of length, or back to full size, upon Heironeous willing such.
Thus, in another guise, his weapon is not noticeable.

In addition to his normal attacks, Heironeous can
loose a bolt of energy drawn from the Positive Material Plane. <>
These bolts are more destructive to creatures from the Prime Material plane than to those of <>
the Elemental Planes or the lateral neutral planes. <> <>
The energy bolt does no harm to inhabitants of the
Positive Material Plane or those of the Upper Planes.
It is dangerous to creatures native in the lower planes,
and to all undead creatures as well. Denizens of the
Negative Material Plane are particularly vulnerable.

Heironeous has all the powers typical of a lesser deity.

There is great enmity between Heironeous and his brother, Hextor (q.v.), who chose a different course.
Each seeks to destroy or thwart the other.

Worshippers of Heironeous are found everywhere, but particularly
where those who follow military professions or do heroic deeds are found is a chapel of
this deity likely to be found. Clerics of Heironeous
are particularly warlike, always wearing chainmail. <>
Their robes are dark blue with silver trim indicating their status.
Places of worship of Heironeous usually
are adorned with blue trappings, silver, and occasionally
windows of colored glass depicting scenes of Heironeous
triumphant. A copper statue of the deity,
armed with a silver battle axe and covered in silver mail,
with seven silver bolts radiating from behind his
head, typically stands behind the altar.

At 11th level, clerics of Heironeous can, in addition to their normal spells, use a bolt of energy once per week.
