Prayer

"Overheads" is the word that roleplayers use to refer to protect from/deflect and similar prayers that display over a character's head when in use. This kind of prayer is of note because, as they stand, there is no accepted way to use many of these prayers while in character. This is largely because there isn't an agreeable way to translate them into roleplaying combat that isn't, on the whole, overpowered. That is to say, if a character were to call upon the power of a god to stop an enemy from hurting him, it would be an absolute, unpenetrable offense and not fair to the other player.

Non-roleplayed overhead prayers include:
 * Protect from Magic
 * Protect from Missiles
 * Protect from Melee
 * Protect from Summoning
 * Deflect Magic
 * Deflect Missiles
 * Deflect Melee
 * Deflect summoning
