Faith

Undestined of the Faith classes gain powerful abilities granted to them by the manifestation of their Faith, typically a deity of their choosing. Throughout the course of combat the power of their abilities will wax and wane as the Undestined sees the product of their belief. Successes strengthen subsequent actions while failures may shake their confidence in their next move. 


These caster’s gain their abilities through the empowerment of their god. As they grow in levels they also grow in their Faith. Successful invocations increase their Faith during combat and make them more and more powerful as the fight wears on. This Faith and how it increases the power of the character throughout combat is the perk of the Faith system. It leads them to becoming dangerous foes if they are not shut down early in the fight. Whether empowering and protecting their allies or weakening and corrupting the minds, bodies and souls of their foes, a Faith user’s belief in her deity makes her enemies fear and respect her strength.


Excerpt from The Fortitude of Faith by the Priest, Quetza:

I wasn’t even aware of the ambush when I felt the cold steel buried in my side. I didn’t take the time to gather who or what had attacked. Instead I closed my eyes and felt the warm embrace of Andrella. Crying out for her mercy and guidance I felt the dagger being pushed out by her warmth. Immediately Andrella sent to me a Vision. I saw an arrow pierce the heart of Sevarin and her lifeless body sinking into a pool of her own blood. I do not know how, but I knew this was to pass without Andrella’s intervention. I pled with Her to let Rala loose her arrow first. When I opened my eyes I saw Rala’s arrow stick into the eye of the dark armored bowmen. His arrow shot into the ceiling, and Sevarin, heedless of her plight, fought on. I felt another dagger sink into my back, but I had no fear. Andrella’s Might was with me on this day and our foes did not stand a chance.
