Re: Thinking like a Godling
Personally I think a godling would run around being an uber-douche. Kind of like an all powerful immortal trust fund baby. "I'm Tastikleez, I'll do what I please mortal. Don't you know who my father is?"
but I could be very wrong about this. Actually, it's more likely than not that I am.

If he is the non-egalitarian type, the skill set of the bar girl honestly with a bit more combat. Probaly plays the dillituant and playboy thing up. Or the skills from PF fantasy for the nobel.
Skills i just dont see would be things like forced march or cooking, he had people todo this for him. Then again who is his god mother/father?
Who ever your parent god is, wil be a big influnce if you knew them growing up

Re: Thinking like a Godling
As a godling, I'd be worried about drawing attention to myself before I've accumulated enough power to resist the enemies of my pantheon.

I don't care about canon answers. I'm interested in good, well-reasoned answers and, perhaps, a short discussion of how that answer is supported or contradicted by canon.
If I don't provide a book and page number, then don't assume that I'm describing canon. I'll tell you if I'm describing canon.

Cashier at the local grocery store. Waiter at a local restaurant. The guy who wears a costume or spins a sign on the sidewalk, trying to get customers to enter a store. All these would expose the character to a great deal of humanity and allow him to "scope them out" as part of his mission.

I've used that ruse before when scoping out potential targets.

wow. Athena Parthenos decided to shack up with Hermes? how much Ambrosia and Nectar did that take?
not criticizing your choice, just saying that being the kid of a virgin goddess means one heck of a background story for his origin.

Oh, pretty easy.
Just get a job bar tending.
Sooner or later everyone comes through a bar in a setting like Kingsdale.

Re: Thinking like a Godling
Have you seen the movie Thor? That is the best easy to find example of how the child of a god would act among mortals, especially for the first time. What skills does he have?

Re: Thinking like a Godling
I agree with several of the views here. You've got a being with the potential for a lot of power, but doesnt really have much yet (He could probably win a fight against a mortal adventurer or two at best), has no experience, but a certain amount of knowledge regarding the fields of his nature. Sounds like a trust-fund fresh college graduate to me, and should be played accordingly. If you've taken 2K years to get your head straight on what you want to do with your life, youre probably just a cosmic slacker trying to reform himself into someone productive.
