Partying Hearty

Question: What actions are you capable of taking during a Divine Figurehead? Can you still fight? Can you restrain people? Can you use social powers? Mental powers? All the questions!

You can do whatever your heart desires, my friend! Divine Figurehead is a Charisma power that causes other people to respond and become excited, festive and so forth, but it neither does anything to you nor puts any restrictions on your behavior. Hang out and drink, play poker, order executions, run marathons, eat your grandchildren, whatever you want. Divine Figurehead doesn't care even slightly.

What this will usually mean is that if you're doing something particularly crazy - say, slaughtering hundreds of people or slinging fireballs against an enemy - that the party will change to accommodate it. Fireball-tossing will probably turn it into a fire festival, complete with bonfires, coal-walking and whatever other craziness people can get up to. If you're murdering people, you've probably started a people-murdering party, so congratulations on making casual stabbing the new trend. Dionysus' strange proclivities directly contribute to the behavior of satyrs and maenads when he uses Divine Figurehead, while Uzume's dancing is so incredible that it inspires dancing all around (and inspired the invention of dance styles that endured for centuries!).

So don't worry about what you can and can't do - this ain't Guardian and since no one is immobilized or overwhelmed, there are no safeguards the way there are for many other powers. Do whatever you want, but be aware that your party fouls will harsh the vibe for everyone.
