User:Spazalicious Chaos/The World of Varanost (3.5e Campaign Setting)/Pantheon

Varanost is almost defined by its faiths. Also, Divne magic relies entirely on deity for power, thus the following changes are to be in place:

Divine Ban and Boon
Mortals work divine magic purely at the whim of their diety, and thus each diety has a Ban, or a circumstance or purpose that cause automatic failure of divine magic granted by this deity.

However, deities are very much concerned for their portfolios and causes, and will impart divine help to their worshipers in such circumstances. Each deity has a Boon, or set of circumstances where a mortal worshiper who is out of daily uses of divine magic can pray and might recieve aid in one of the following forms:
 * Divine Intervention: a divine spell caster who prays for an intervention has a 1% chance per level of divine spell casting class. Success means a servant is called for a number of minutes equal to the callers level, taking the form of a monster that can be summoned via a Summon Monster spell (if Bard, Cleric or Paladin) or Summon Natures Ally (If Druid) of one spell level higher than the praying character can cast. Multiple faithful praying for inervention at once stack their chance of success, and only the highest level character counts for what is called, though an additional monster is called per every 50 faithful that pray. (Thus, it is ill advised to try to destroy a temple...) Usable once per month.
 * Divine Gift: a divine spell caster who prays for a divine gift has a 2% chance per divine spell casting class level. If successful, the faithful gains one spell of the deities choice of the highest level he can cast. Usable once per day.

God
God has revealed himself to Humanity, and invested into a few chosen His power. He is uncaring about any but His Law they all fill the roles He has chosen.

God's cleric divide themselves into the Right Handed and Left Handed. The Right Handed try to emulate His powers of healing, forgiveness, and protection, and must maintain a Good or Lawful alignment, choose Right Handed Domains and prefer to turn undead. The Left Handed try to emulate His powers of entropy, wrath, and vengeance, and must maintain a Chaotic or Evil alignment, choose Left Handed Domains and prefer to rebuke undead. There are a few known as the Even Handed who are Chaotic Good or Lawful Evil, choosing one Left handed and One Right Handed Domain. But these are young and foolish Clerics, as it is the third Domain they choose that decides their path, and all must choose whether to walk at His Right or Left side.

Ban: Performing actions that directly oppose the chosen alignmentof the faithful in question, ie their "role" as it is called in common parlance.

Boon: Performing an action that exemplifies or sets the standard for what would be considered the pinnacle of the chosen alignment of the faithful in question; put simply "following Gods plan."
