Once these two conditions are met, the character becomes a divine spellcaster of the new deity, and if a cleric, he chooses two domains from the new deity's repertoire. To progress as a divine spellcaster of another faith, the character must go on a quest for his new church (often the recovery of a lost item of some importance to the deity), then receive an atonement spell from a representative of his new faith. In doing so, the divine spellcaster loses all class features of the abandoned deity. It is possible for a cleric, druid, paladin, or spellcasting ranger (or any other divine spellcaster) to abandon his chosen deity and take up the faith of another deity. Penance for major infractions includes a month or more of prayer, a large donation (1,000 gp or more), a quest, and possibly an atonement spell (which might require its own quest).Ĭontinued abuses of the church's dogma may result in a divine spellcaster losing his class features (but not any class-related weapon and armor proficiencies) until he atones for his sins. Penance for moderate infractions includes spending anywhere from a day to a tenday in prayer, making a moderate monetary donation to the temple (100 to 500 gp), or going on a small quest for the church (a short adventure). Typical penance for lesser infractions includes spending an hour in prayer, making a small monetary donation to the temple (1 to 10 gp), performing minor duties in the temple (which vary by religion), and so on. Paladins, rangers, and other divine spellcasters are held to this standard (to a less exacting degree) also. He has to do some penance appropriate to the seriousness of the sin in order to remain in good standing with the church, other clerics or druids, and the deity.
#FORGOTTEN REALMS DEITIES PLUS#
Most priests, however, see their deities as judging mortals only on deeds or on acts plus obvious intent rather than ultimate consequences.Ī cleric or druid who commits a minor offense against her deity or ignores portions of the deity's dogma is guilty of a sin. Some members of the clergy believe their deities watch over every act, thought, and consequence of the deeds of every mortal worshiper.
