A phylactery of faithfulness was a useful item for divine spellcasters, in that it enabled the wearer to foresee how their actions would affect their connection to their deity.[1][2]
Description[]
A phylactery of faithfulness took the form of a small box holding religious scripture. It was tied around the forehead by a leather cord attached to the box. There was no non-magical way to determine precisely what it did until it was worn.[2]
Creation[]
To create a phylactery of faithfulness, the creator must cast detect evil, detect good, detect law, and detect chaos during the process.[2]
Activation[]
If the wearer of a phylactery of faithfulness considered an intended action or use of an item beforehand, then they were alerted if that action or item would have a negative impact on their relationship with their deity or on their alignment.[1][2]
Notable Owners[]
- Haroistem, a priest of Lathander. Granted by the god himself, it also provided him with continuous augury.[3]
- Shahpesh, a Zakharan moralist[4]
A phylactery of faithfulness was hidden in the King's Tower of Uthtower.[5]
