Temple Bonuses
Those who reside in a realm blessed by a Temple to the Princes of Gluttony find that food tastes better, wine is more intoxicating, and dances more enchanting. All items related to luxury in such a realm gain a bonus to quality determined by the level of the temple. In addition, any creature who willingly consumes luxury items or entertainment gains a bonus to all actions (determined by temple level) for the remainder of the time block. For the duration of the following time block, this bonus is inverted to an all-action penalty of the same amount.- Level 1: +5 Quality; +10/-10
- Level 2: +10 Quality; +30/-30
- Level 3: +20 Quality; +100/-100
List of Blessings
Laute's Beguiling Gift: Once per day, the blessed can enhance any mundane, non-combat-related item with a bonus to quality equal to one-fifth of their total Elan with L.S.N.P.A., rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5. Even the greatest of appraisers will be unable to discern that any transformation had taken place, and the item may be sold for an amount based on its new quality. At sunrise the next day, regardless of the item's location or ownership, it reverts to a mundane example of its type. Cost: 5 | Requirements: Elan 10 Studious Excess: By exerting the gluttonous influence of L.S.N.P.A., the blessed may influence the creation of great works in their vicinity. Choosing a single known creative or constructive project in the same realm, such as the composition of music or construction of a castle, the holder of this gift may cause the process to take twice as long as expected. This extra time manifests in extra, unnecessary flairs and elaborations on the base project which look nice but serve no purpose. The bearer of this gift must remain in the same realm or province as the project for the duration or the effect ends. Cost: 10 | Requirements: Elan 20 Nimis' Chaotic Duplication: This gift allows the holder to duplicate any inanimate object they can lift in a single hand. Regardless of the quality of the original item, all duplicates are created at +0 quality, but last indefinitely or until destroyed. The number of duplicates produced is random and generated by rolling 1d10. This blessing may only be invoked once per time block. Cost: 15 | Requirements: Elan 30 Unseemly Haste: The holder of this blessing may, as an active action once per time block, call L.S.N.P.A.'s influence down upon any creature within sight. The target must be holding an object that can be used in some way. The blessed must then make an opposed Presence check against the target. Both the bearer and target may add a bonus equal to their total Elan with L.S.N.P.A. to this check. If successful, the chosen target must immediately use the object in their hand in whatever way seems most logical. Weapons are swung, food is eaten, beverages swallowed, and money spent. The target will go to as many lengths as they are able within a single turn to perform this action. If they are unable to "use" the item within a single turn, the effect ends. Cost: 10 | Requirements: Elan 40 Ardenter's Imbued Influencer: This gift allows its holder to, as an active action, imbue a piece of their essence into a touched inanimate item that they are capable of lifting with one hand. Each portion of essence dispatched in this way lowers the effective presence of the user by 10, and may be recalled by touching the item again as an active action. A creature whose effective presence is reduced to 0 by this effect immediately dies and the remains of their soul are pulled to Gehenna. If any creature uses the item, such as swinging a weapon, spending money, or consuming food, they automatically become more susceptible to the blessed's influence for the remainder of the time block. For this duration, affected targets take a penalty equal to the bearer's Elan with L.S.N.P.A. to all resistance checks against abilities or effects used by the bearer. Cost: 10 | Requirements: Elan 50 Laute's Beautiful Bequeathment: Upon taking this blessing, the limit on quality incurred by Laute's Beguiling Gift is increased to one half of the user's total Elan with L.S.N.P.A. This ability is capable of creating objects which are unbelievably, unrealistically elaborate and expensive. Cost: 10 | Requirements: Elan 60, Laute's Beguiling Gift Excess in Elaboration: This blessing enhances Studious Excess, increasing the amount of time required for any targeted project to five times the normal period. In addition, the bearer of the blessing must no longer remain in the same realm as the targeted project. So long as they live, the useless elaboration and primping that slows the project down cannot be avoided. Cost: 15 | Requirements: Elan 70, Studious Excess Consume!: Upon selecting this gift, the time block limit on Unseemly Haste is removed. The blessed may use the ability in question as an active action with no further restrictions. Cost: 5 | Requirements: Elan 80, Unseemly Haste Allconsumptive Influence: In addition to the effects of Ardenter's Imbued Influencer, the bearer of this gift may use the spell Possession as an active action, once per target per time block, on any target already under their influence. The spell is considered to be cast at base with no additional effects, but the target has no opportunity to physically defend and takes the penalty inflicted by the Influencer to their resistance check. If successful, the possession lasts for the remainder of the time block. Cost: 15 | Requirements: Elan 80, Ardenter's Imbued Influencer Nimis' Unleashed Duplication: Upon beseeching the siblings of L.S.N.P.A. for this blessing, the bearer's abilities of duplication granted by Nimis' Chaotic Duplication are enhanced tenfold. Rather than rolling a 1d10 to determine number of duplicates, the user instead rolls 1d100. Use of this ability can have devastating effects on the surroundings and potentially lead to the death of the user. Cost: 15 | Requirements: Elan 90, Nimis' Chaotic Duplication Scorn the Ascetic: The true devotee of L.S.N.P.A. never stays themselves from luxury or indulgence, and scorns those who do. Such temperance isn't self-mastery in their eyes, but a weakness of the soul to be exploited. Upon taking this blessing, the champion of L.S.N.P.A. gains the ability to use any blessing of the same that requires a resistance check (such as Unseemly Haste or Allconsumptive Influence) without granting certain targets any opportunity to resist. Any target who has 0 or negative Elan with L.S.N.P.A. is subject to this effect. Cost: 10 | Requirements: Elan 100Sample Elan Modifiers
