As the Living Gods advance in character levels, they unlock further special abilities.

	In addition to their individual special abilities, all of the Living Gods share a few common special abilities. Each Living God radiates a continual [[Magic Circle Against Good]] and can cast [[Greater Teleport]] at will. In addition, the aura of any Living God counts as a [[sinkhole of evil]] and heightens the [[ethereal resonance]] in the area by one point. Allies and foes may be subject to various [[emotion]] and morale effects while inside the aura. Finally, all of the Living Gods share a common set of immunities and elemental [[damage resistance]]s.

	The Living Gods also share a few common weaknesses. They may be affected by [[spell]]s that influence outsiders and [[summoned]] creatures. All are especially vulnerable to damage by [[electricity]], perhaps due to a [[curse]] levied upon them by [[the Forsaken One]] during the botched summoning. Of those present at the summoning, only [["Hercules"\|Hercules]] knows about this curse.		The Living Gods also share a few common weaknesses.

	Should a Living God perish, only a [[wish]] or [[miracle]] spell is capable of restoring them to life. The fiendish essence formerly bound in the Living God disperses, leaving behind a wave of energy that travels the domain until it reaches each of the remaining Living Gods. Once coming into contact with such a wave, the surviving Living Gods become considerably more powerful. The process repeats with the subsequent death of every further Living God.
