Omnipotence

Oh, good question... I'd have to say there is no definite answer as of yet, but we (as in all of us) can critique and improve the following tentative answer:

Think of it as we do human skills.

Bob is the best tailor in the world. His sister, Ann, can cook like nobody's business. Bob does have the ability to cook-- he simply sucks at it. Like, can't even boil pasta properly. The same for Ann when it concerns clothing. She'll try to fix a hem, but end up absolutely ruining the dress or shirt.

As with humans, the gods realize that they have their specific skills and they stick to them. However, unlike humans, the god of pleasure, who specializes in happiness and pranks, would not be able to increase his skill in boundary control or plant growing.

If that didn't answer the question, I do apologize. Feel free to ask any more questions. :)

!!ANNOUNCEMENT!!

You've probably noticed my absence. (Kind of hard not to, you all waiting for me in the role-play)
However, I digress. Now, some of you are amazing wonderful people and you haven't jumped ship. Some of you understandably escaped this sinking mini-Titanic a while back. I'm here to say I am not coming back for a long time.
If you wish to keep this up and are willing to try again when I'm able to type of my own accord again, then hooray. Just keep an eye on this, checking once every so often. If not, I don't blame you.

I'm sorry guys.

My sincerest apologies,
Joel
