Sometimes you need to know where you're going before you can decide where to begin. The choices you make during your first few minutes with Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising's character creation system have some long-lasting implications on what Feats and God Powers you'll have at your disposal as you near the game's current level cap of 40.
Pick a heal-centric Priest, and you might find yourself pining for a Nomad that can heal and score some stabby damage later on. The god you choose to align yourself with also has late-game ramifications on what sort of divine powers you can tap into as well. Choose Apollo for your freshly minted Scout, and you might find yourself unwittingly tossing away your chance to use the undoubtedly cool Summon Chaemera spell granted exclusively to scions of Diana. So avoid the dreaded character re-roll, and arm yourself with our in-depth guide to the Feats and God Powers available to each of the game's six heroes.
