Cernunnos is an important god in Celtic polytheism and should be added to SMITE ASAP. Here is my kkit for him.

Deer form: Cernunnos sends foward another deer. if it hits an enemy, they are damaged. If it hits an ally, it will then become a ward for a duration.
Snake attack damage: 50/60/70/80/90 + 20% of Cernunnos's basic attack damage

Nice, simple passive. I imagine it would help encourage support to rotate, and also help clear the boar and harpies at the start.

*Nature's
Remember you can use decimals. (For example, has decimal values in the stun duration.) I would change it to
Root: 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds
The damage and healing seems a bit weak to me. Is it in a large area? Khepri's root, , does more than twice as much damage.

*forward
Magical basic attacks scale for 20% of a god's magical power. That snake does little more than 90 + 4% of Cernunnos's power. It should either have really high attack speed or a lot of health. And as for the ward, the ward doesn't last very long considering how placing the ward makes you miss out on the damage (and the snake, whatever its purpose is, unless each form of an attack has its own cooldown, as I assume it does).

I really like the idea of a god changing into their animal form, since it seems like a very common power in several pantheons. I also really like the idea of a guardian with multiple stances.

*disorients, not disorientates
Seems pretty solid to me, but I have a couple questions. What about gods that are hit multiple times? Can you turn while charging forward?

To answer those questions 1, Nature's embrace, the target area would be about the size of Chaac's axe throw. I didn't want to scale the damage to high because this god is about utility and support, but I was guessing with the numbers so I an happy to change the damage to that. 2, wild companion, now you point it out it does do really low damage. I would perhaps change it to 90 + 20% of his magical power. As for the ward its really just there for if you miss it's not completely useless and 3, gods can be hit multiple times, but the disorient could only be applied again after it had finished the first time. I imagine the steering would be like Guan Yu's cavalry charge, so you could steer, but it is still avoidable. Thanks for the spelling corrections and the feedback.
