When patronizing a particular [[god]] in ''Dungeon Crawl'', you are sometimes rewarded with a '''gift''' from that god. These gifts reflect the overall theme and character of the gift-giving deity, and are typically only rewarded to those who have acquired a significant amount of [[piety]]. Gifted items can be searched for by pressing CTRL+F and entering "god gift".

Although all the various powers and abilities a god provides their followers might be viewed as "gifts" as well, ''Dungeon Crawl'' vernacular generally only refers to awarded [[items]], [[mutations]] and [[spells]] as gifts.

[[Ashenzari]]'s curses, [[Ru]]'s sacrifices, and passive ally buffs ([[The Shining One]] & [[Beogh]]) are not counted as gifts for the purposes of this article.

==Gods that award passive gifts==
*[[Jiyva]] - Good [[mutation]]s, including some that are [[Jiyva mutations|exclusive to the god]].
*[[Kikubaaqudgha]] - [[Necromancy]] [[spells]].
*[[Nemelex Xobeh]] - [[Cards]].
*[[Okawaru]] - [[Throwing]] ammunition.
*[[Sif Muna]] - [[Book]]s.
*[[Trog]] - Melee [[weapon]]s.
*[[Vehumet]] - [[Destructive spells]].
*[[Xom]] - Random items and mutations, [[gold]].

==Gods with capstone gifts==
Several gods offer gifts as a '''capstone ability''', a one-time reward at 6* of piety, rather than them being given over time.

*[[Kikubaaqudgha]] - A choice of high-level necromancy spells or branding a chosen weapon with [[pain]].
*[[Lugonu]] - Corrupts a weapon, giving it the [[distortion]] brand.
*[[Makhleb]] - [[Makhleb#Infernal Marks|Infernal Mark]]s.
*[[Okawaru]] - One high-quality weapon and [[armor]] piece, out of a choice of four.
*[[The Shining One]] - Blesses a weapon, giving it the [[holy wrath]] brand and converting demonic weapons to their holy variants.

==Gift timeout==
The '''gift timeout''' is the period during which you cannot receive any more gifts from your current god until you gain more piety.

Your gift timeout is a value that increases whenever you get a god gift; the duration depends on the god. It decreases by 1 for every point of piety you gain. Once timeout = 0, there is a chance, when gaining piety, to get a gift. This chance also depends on the god. Afterwards, the timeout resets. Wearing an [[amulet of faith]] increases your piety gain by +25%, speeding up the timeout by that amount. It also increases the chance you get a gift once timeout = 0 by 33%.

The following gods use the gift timeout system:
*[[Elyvilon]] (Lifesaving ability)
*[[Jiyva]]
*[[Nemelex Xobeh]]
*[[Okawaru]]
*[[Sif Muna]]
*[[Trog]]
*[[Vehumet]] (Spells 6-15 only)

For Okawaru, Sif Muna, Trog, and Vehumet, if you would gain piety while gift time out > 0, there's a 75% chance that your piety won't actually increase (but gift timeout is still reduced).<ref>{{source ref|0.30.1|religion.cc|2436}}</ref>
