Almost never, in my experience is religion treated more officially than that. I'd say this is probably true for most fantasy gamers. It sounds like your campaign needs something specific for use of religion. I don't think this is something that needs to be defined by Paizo, as again, most gamers don't have the needs for what you're looking for - so it wouldn't really be profitable for Paizo to create something like that. But within the limits of the situation you describe above, I agree giving some amount of Hero points for extended prayer and sacrifice seems an appropriate boon - which as I say, is something you need to define, but I agree it makes sense. As an aside, our players really abused the Action points during 3x, and we don't allow the use of Hero points in our PF games. So if I did what you're asking in our game, we'd need something other than Hero points to grant as a boon. Our PCs don't even worship the same gods most of the time, so what the cleric in our party wishes has little relevance to the rest of the party. Just don't expect something official, as I don't think most need that in their game.</blockquote>
