Prayers from the Faithful is a 2nd-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons accessory for the Forgotten Realms.
The answer lies in the mighty spells heretofore kept concealed by the robed clery of the cloisters. These sacred spells are now revealed in these pages, drawn from legendary holy books presently "lost" on Faerûn. To read Prayers From the Faithful is to know holy awe and blessed fear at last!
Learn the long-suppressed secrets of:
- Which gems to place into the eye sockets of the carved faces on Gorothir's Girdle to call forth deadly magics.
- The hallowed album that was used to slay six dragons - and now bears the unblinking, preserved eye of one of them.
- The divine tome that is a gem that served to lure and slay thieves for over 30 years.
- Why it's dangerous to hold the Chanting Chain carelessly - and what wakens to its chants.
And much more! Prayers From the Faithful is an essential guide to the magic of priests in the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign world, and a useful aid to those portraying priests in any ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS campaign.
Suitable for all levels of play.Description[]
Prayers from the Faithful details a number of holy books and relics of the Faerûnian pantheon, providing a collection of unique, lesser-known deities, their clerics, and the specific prayers, spells, and rituals associated with their worship.
The accessory also introduces a range of minor gods and goddesses who had not been deeply explored in previous publications. Each entry in Prayers from the Faithful details a specific deity, including their history, motivations, and the manner in which they interact with their followers.
The core of the accessory is its presentation of new spells and prayer rituals that reflect the unique aspects of each featured deity. These game mechanics allow players to access divine powers that are not only effective in gameplay but also rich in cultural and religious significance within the Realms. The spells and prayers are designed to be integrated seamlessly into the daily life of clerics and other divine spellcasters.
Prayers from the Faithful also includes suggestions on how Dungeon Masters can incorporate these new deities and their followers into existing campaigns, providing advice on creating quests, conflicts, and encounters that are themed around religious events or crises of faith.
