[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6903541, member: 8835"] This thread caught my eye, and the above is in line with what I was going to suggest. Real religious people pray every day. Over their food. They stop in and pray for good harvest, blessings before a big activity. Make that matter. Give a bonus on infection checks, random encounter checks if they prayed first. Nothing huge, small prayers from regular people (non-cleric/paladin) aren't going to come out of the spell section of the players handbook. but a +1 or 5% bonus to inhibit random chance from messing up with minor things, seems trivial to hand out for good roleplay. Just remember, your not asking them to actually pray and worship. Just get them to say they said their evening prayers, or "said Grace" before eating. You can probably do this generically, in that every god/religion is going to fork out for regular, continual demonstrations of faith/supplication/prayer. You might even expect that the evil gods are less tolerant in laxness in phoning in a prayer at midnight every night on the dot. For they are a very jealous god. [/QUOTE]
