I've been coolecting piety for Okawaru up to 5stars. Somehow the sixth star won't happen. Well, I play a XL13 caster, don't waste much piety on heroism /finess if not necessary. And I kill often enough. But it seems to me that the (miserable quality) god gifts prevent the rise of piety because all the time the gift timeouts have to be served in priority. Is this reasoning the correct description of the 0.14a features working? Or did I overlook something (e.g. only high HD monsters count)? Please share your wisdom on these details and speak out. -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 19:12, 17 December 2013 (CET)

	Do the effects duration depend on the skill in Evocations?

		+	:Since [[Evocations]] don't have anything to do with god-given abilities, I'm going to assume you meant [[Invocations]]? Yes it has an impact on duration. If my code reading is correct (which is a dubious hypothesis), then for both these abilities, you have : <code>duration = 10 + (a random number ranging from 0 to (Invocations level * 6))</code> If you want to check for yourself, here's the code describing what happens when you use Finesse : [https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/master/crawl-ref/source/ability.cc#L2272 source code]. -- [[User:Fingolfin\|Fingolfin]] ([[User talk:Fingolfin\|talk]]) 23:23, 10 March 2016 (CET)
