He also has other deities give him divine gifts, including a shield, a sword, and a helm that grants the power of invisibility. The goddess Thetis likewise tries to help her son Calibos but it doesn't turn out very well.

* ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' has you play as "the Creator", creating and guiding the main character throughout the game.

* In ''[[Nethack]]'', the #pray extended command lets you ask your god for help. The nature of the help -- if indeed the god decides to help you at all -- depends on the nature of the trouble and how pleased the god is with you. Worth noting, if your god is sufficiently pleased with you, prayer will have a positive effect (possibly including a gift) even if you're in no trouble at all.
