New Mechanisms


Prayer:
The player may ask a very specific question of the DM and roll for Religion to determine the answer given.
Guidelines are roughly:
  • <6: shrug 
  • 6-10: vague verbal answer 
  • 10-15: Somewhat specific verbal answer 
  • 15: specific answer Natural 
  • 20: specific answer and extra info 

Variant: Group Prayer 
All players within visible range of each other may elect to participate in a prayer. Only one question is asked, however all players who opt in roll and the highest roll plus modifier is considered for the answer. At some point, I may get trickier with this, and ONLY give the answer to the highest roller, or something like that. That's still a work in progress.

For this mechanism to work, the DM is responsible for being honest. She doesn't have to be transparent, but she must always be honest.


Bear Testimony:
In Lehi's Vision quest, any player who is actively holding the iron rod may roll for Persuasion to Bear Testimony. If successful (>10), the players are considered to be holding hands, and the player who is not holding the rod is considered to be holding by proxy (receiving half the benefits of holding personally). This will almost definitely make an appearance later as well, but will be specific to that quest.


Tithing: 
Not fully flushed out yet. Basically, if a player gives 10% of his winnings "back", the DM may record that and award "blessings" TBD as the DM feels would help the player in a time of need. No one has tried this one yet. We'll see how it works.
