'''...hides his desires from you.'''
'''Added note'''<br/>
*Various.  Tricky ><0|\/| doesn't want you to know what he wants.  But use the pray function (_) often to check what is pleasing/displeasing him.  Good advice in general, really.
Following Xom increases the "randomness" of certain things, including the level range of monsters spawning.  This can lead to encountering "out of depth" enemies...  but could also mean greater rewards.  Players with poor relationships with the [[random number generator]] may want to avoid this.
