Favor

While adventuring, you will come across places of spiritual importance or creatures of divine origin, witness some supernatural event or accomplish a goal of your deity and thus garner divine favor in the form of favor counters. You cannot have more than a number of favor counters equal to your level divided by four (but at least one).

Unless the GM says otherwise, you start the game without any favor. You can earn it with your actions during an adventure and use it to conjure supernatural effects.

Invoking Favor

Before you can invoke a favor, you need to pray for answers by performing a ritual (see below). Each favor has a certain type of action that is required you need to take for its invocation. To invoke a favor, remove a favor counter, choose a favor from your answers, take the appropiate action and resolve the effect.

If you would gain favor while you have no answers or you already have your maximum favor counters, gain a drive counter instead.

During invoking a favor, if an effect lets you choose a target, you may choose any valid target within 30 fields and line of sight if the effect itself does not say otherwise.

Performing a Ritual

Getting answers to your prayer requires you to perform a religious or mystic ritual to commune with the divine. It takes at least 30 minutes of unbroken concentration. The virtue of a ritual depends on different factors such as the location and the use of religious symbols and scripture, and other paraphernalia such as candles or incense.

When finishing the ritual, select a number of favors from the list according to your ritual's virtue. The selected favors are your new answers that replace your current answers. You can only select each favor once during one ritual.
