Cernudens favors those who commit themselves to their communities and detests those who disrupt these families. Source Gods & Magic pg. 23 2.0 Minor Boon: Cernudens shares in his bounty as long as you work for it. Whenever you roll a critical failure at a check to Subsist in the wild, you get a failure instead. Moderate Boon: You share Cernudens’s sharp eye, allowing you to use a longbow in any situation. When you attack with a longbow, you can ignore the longbow’s volley trait, and longbows have double the normal range increment for you. Major Boon: You become a friend to the land. You can cast speak with plants as a divine innate spell. When you are in a healthy natural environment, the land sustains you without need for food or drink. You can cast the commune with nature ritual without any secondary casters or secondary checks. Minor Curse: Cernudens curses your table and punishes you for relying on others’ hard work. Any food you didn’t grow, gather, or otherwise harvest yourself tastes like ash and leaves you fatigued. Moderate Curse: Cernudens’s beasts take a dislike to you. Animals’ attitudes toward you are one category worse (friendly instead of helpful, indifferent instead of friendly, and so on). Major Curse: Cernudens leaves you unable to have children (or otherwise reproduce or propagate if you do so in a different manner). This curse also affects your livestock, pets, and crops.Herald:
