[QUOTE="MythosaAkira, post: 880220, member: 2428"] In the PDF I wrote up for my world's pantheon, each god has a listing for "Divine Gifts for the Laity". Basically, the faithful get to do something special once per month, and something extra special on the religion's highest holiday (I felt the monthly/holiday frequency was good without being overly powerful). A couple examples: For Dynera (goddess of nature, fertility, and renewal): Once per month, characters with this goddess as their patron may do one of the following: Cast [I]know direction[/I], add a +2 competence bonus to an Animal Empathy roll, or add a +2 competence bonus to a Wilderness Lore roll (they must choose one of the three, not all; but they need not make the same choice every month). On their holy day, the faithful may cast [I]goodberry[/I]. For Aegar (god of war, storms, and smithing): Once per month, laity of this god may do one of the following: Add a +2 competence bonus to a Craft roll, or, add a +4 sacred bonus to a single attack roll (they must choose one or the other, not both; but they need not make the same choice every month). The attack bonus is not magical, nor will it overcome damage reduction. On their holy day, lay worshippers of the god may cast [I]magic weapon[/I]. You can download the PDF if you're interested in seeing the powers the other gods give their worshippers ([url]http://www.mythosa.net/World.html[/url]). The PDF is somewhat out-of-date due to my revising the gods, but the same concepts still apply. [/QUOTE]
