[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6075382, member: 9037"] The way I look at followers is this way. You have clergy, the priest, clerics, lay folk who are active members in the church. Then you have true believers these are the people who do their best to follow the tenets of their church, pay a tithe or in some cases donate food, items or even time to the church. While they know there are other gods they have chosen to dedicate their worship to this one deity as their patron deity. A lot of people don't have a patron deity and unless it is Forgotten Realms it does not matter. These people generally go about their lives they may honor the various gods on a major holiday, they may pick a specific god to pray to for help that fits the need they are praying for. In my games I have special perks for the faithful. A non cleric type PC who role plays his worship, tithe to the church tries for the most part to live the tenets and has a holy symbol finds that the symbol allows them to heal 1D6 three times a day . There are a few other things depending on the deity involved. For example if its Pelor the holy symbol can be activated as a light source that last for an hour or a combo of an hour. [/QUOTE]
