10 TPA: Demand a minor favor from any member of
the faith whose level is lower than the character’s level.
Minor favors never put the member in direct danger but
may entail the expenditure of up to 10 gp worth of goods
or 1 week’s worth of services (including lost income due
to the believer taking time off, though not an actual
cash offering to the character) for a series of activities.
Generally, the character can call upon only one favor at
any given time; exerting this privilege more than once
during any given month costs 1 CPA for each additional
favor. However, at the discretion of the GM, the character
could call upon many believers to perform a very similar
service so long as the gp cost does not exceed the total
of the favor (such as asking many craftsmen to help
build a temple for a week for free). Note that the Weekly
Services section of the Introduction covers cost for
hiring large numbers of people; if the magnitude
of the favor or the number of people involved
approaches the value of one of those Weekly
Services, the character should pay the
standard CPA cost for that service rather
than trying to get it for free based on her
reputation within the faction. Note that
the 10 gp cost is not a “hard” value—an
unskilled laborer may work for at most
a week if she’s only provided food, and
while that labor is only worth 7 sp, the
wage is significant to her (whereas 10
gp represents 14 weeks of labor, and no
commoner would work that long just as
a favor).
10 TPA, 1+ CPA: Inspire other members
of the faith with great zeal, allowing them
to exceed their normal limitations. The
character can affect a number of people
(including herself ) equal to her character
level times the number of CPA expended
(so a 6th-level character spending 5 CPA
can inspire 30 members of the faith). The
character decides if the affected targets
gain a morale bonus on attack rolls,
saving throws, or skill and ability checks.
The bonus is equal to the character’s TPA
divided by 10 and lasts for 1 minute.
10 TPA, 3 CPA: Gain the assistance
of a specialist (any NPC member of the
religion with a class level equal to half the
character’s level) for 1 week. What sorts of
characters are available varies from religion
to religion—Gorum has few druids in his
service, and Cayden Cailean has few monks,
but both have many clerics, fighters, and
rogues ready to serve.

Religious Factions
10 TPA, 10 CPA: Gain the assistance of a master
specialist (any NPC with a class level equal to the PC’s
level) for 1 week.
15 TPA: Spend CPA to inf luence, bargain with, or
reward outsiders serving the character’s god (such as
those called by a planar ally spell) at a superior rate.
When dealing with such creatures, each CPA is treated
as 500 gp instead of the standard 375 gp.
20 TPA: Purchase religion-appropriate magic armor,
weapons, or other items at a 10% discount. What items
constitute “religion-appropriate” varies from faith to faith.
For example, the church of Gorum probably sells most
magical weapons and armor at a discount, but not items
focused on healing or divination. Sarenrae’s church
may sell discounted items relating to fire, healing,
and good. Torag’s church probably looks similar
to the items offered by the Ninth Battalion (see
page 32), and the list of items available from the
church of Urgathoa overlaps with the item list of
the Whispering Way (see page 52).
20 TPA, 1 CPA: Gain a +6 bonus on one
skill check that directly relates to the god’s
interests (at the GM’s discretion), such as
Desna and dreams, Gozreh and nature, or
Norgorber and poison. This bonus does not
stack with the +4 bonus on one check listed
on page 55. At 40 TPA, the bonus increases
to +8, and at 60 TPA, it increases to +10.
20 TPA, 3 CPA: Gain the temporary service
of an outsider (with an alignment appropriate
to the god’s alignment) of up to 12 HD as if using
planar ally. The character must negotiate and pay
for the outsider’s service, though he can spend
CPA to have his order pay the price for the
service. If the character is a poor negotiator, he
can pay 1 CPA to hire a charismatic advocate to
argue on his behalf.
30 TPA, variable CPA: Receive the benefit
of a helpful spell while acting in the deity’s
interests. For example, while on a mission
battling a group of Rovagug cultists, a devotee
of Sarenrae struck down in battle may be
healed by a cure critical wounds spell. The cost
of this divine intervention is the base CPA cost
of the spell plus 15; the reward never costs an
additional amount based on whether or not
the character is outside an area where other
members of the faith could help him. The
reward is immediate and can prevent the
character from dying (for example, healing
before the character dies from hit point
damage). Some GMs may restrict this to once
per level or even once per campaign.
