All right, here's the deal. In this system, you choose what kind of aid you want to pray for (Smiting, Benediction, Malediction or Divination) and then roll anywhere from 1d6 to 10d6 depending on how good you are and how good a friend you are with the gods, and depending on the result, you get a different effect. I'm thinking of having them go up in 3s for the sake of my own sanity. So, you get something like...



Roll
Effect


0
Nothing Happens.


3
A single creature of your choice takes 2d6 damage.


6



9
Your next attack with a held weapon deals double damage. You can use an unarmed strike for this purpose but not a siege engine.


12



15



18



21



24



27



30
A single creature of your choice within 10 miles takes 10d6 damage from a lightning strike. An AG roll (Difficulty 18) halves the damage.


33



36



39



42



45



48



51



54



57



60
Someone of your choice is utterly annihilated (WL difficulty 60 negates)




Roll
Effect


0
Nothing Happens.


3
You, personally, get a +1 bonus to rolls to hit, and damage per success, for 3d6 rounds.

You gain an answer that is correct and in some way useful, but irrelevant to what you wanted to know.

You gain an audience with a high-ranking divine servant, allowing you to ask them questions and request advice, so long as this is not used against the will of your deity.

So basically, come up with fun, not-too-strong effects for prayers. If you can also come up with random divine events to happen every season in the same format, that would be good, but not necessary as I have ideas for those.

If you have an idea, put down something like "Smiting 3: A single creature of your choice takes 2d6 damage." - don't worry too much if you don't have a good idea for which table it should go on.

Thanks to anyone who does help. :smallbiggrin:

Benediction 3: +1 to attack and damage rolls for 2d10 rounds.

Smiting 30: target up to 10 miles away from your location is struck by lightning dealing 10d6 electricity damage, reflex save for half damage.

Sweet, though I'll change 2d10 to 3d6 because it's a d6 system. Wording will need a change too, but otherwise fine.

Smiting
Your weapon becomes infused with astral energies, both holy and unholy, allowing you to double the damage roll on your next weapon attack.

Augury
Your god's servants are summoned by your prayers, giving you answers to questions and can give advice in certain situations that don't contradict his master's dogma. This servant cannot be used to help you in battle, nor for restorative purposes.

Smiting 60: Someone of your choice is utterly annihilated.

Divination: You gain an answer that while otherwise correct and useful to the current situation, is not actually relevant to the question asked.
