Prayers

If sacrifices can result in blessings, why not prayers? While not as strong as a sacrifice, gods still feel and appreciate the love & respect. People pray to the gods every day! Limitations are the following :

• A character can pray for a god's favor or protection, respectively as a bonus action or as a reaction.
• If a character already prayed to a god during a scene, he can't pray to him again in that scene but can pray to a second god during the same scene.
• Note that Gods don't like to be third on the list and will not answer the third call, or you would highly risk disfavor.
• The god's blessing must be used during the same round the prayer was done.

Sacrifices

Sacrifices are a way of life. They’re done to honor and thank the gods, to ask for protection and favors. Sacrificing to a specific god gives them a boost in power proportional to the quality of the sacrifice, and if the sacrifice pleases them, one of a few different blessings might be given. Gods don’t always know who is performing a sacrifice, or what has been sacrificed. It often presents to them as a transfer of love, energy, or health, and the god may reciprocate with a blessing if they wish. There are, however, limitations :

• A character can't benefit from more than a sacrifice a day.
• A sacrifice must be done as a 1-hour long ritual (a normal animal for a minor favor, a rare animal for a major favor, and a special sacrifice (an animal with a divine spark, legendary creature, god's enemy) for a greater favor.
• Enemies of a god may receive his blessing (he will either appreciate the gift or not realize who sent it).
• The character in question can have members of his small group of bonded individuals receive the blessing.
• He then uses one or more Faith Points, and the DM will give him a corresponding advantage.
• That advantage must usually be used in the following days.

Blessings

The blessing can take any form that links to the god's portfolio. The blessings on this table are typical for heroes in need; not typical worshippers who are hoping for good weather, safe travel, and healthy harvests. Players may always ask the DM for a blessing that is less potent and more mundane, and may often receive it. Note that gods may adjust the power of the blessing based on their mood, or how they feel about those performing the sacrifice.
