The Churches and You
composed by Ancell
Take me to church!
As a lvl 15 cleric you can found a church of your current pantheon. It will be placed wherever you are standing when you use ]foundchurch. When non clerics join your church, 5 faith is added to your faith pool. When clerics join, 10 is added.
If a level 25 cleric joins, 50 points are added. the points are direct Prayer skill, to be distributed among the congregation
You will be ranked as Progenitor(creator) of the church, and given access to the church functions.
You can change the name of your church. Set the tradition ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...vgL#gid=11 ) Write your churches missive and values. Change the ranking of your members.
Ranking, there are four ranks: Initiate, Member, Leader and Founder.
You can promote and demote members to whichever rank you choose,but ultimately you decide which ranks gets what allocation of faith. you have a pool of Total faith( prayer skill) to spread across the ranks,or dump into one rank.
The total will be at the bottom of the allocation menu. You will need to assign values to each rank,the values being a perncentage,always equaling 100. examples:
Initiate: 25 ||| Initate: 75 ||| Iniate: 0 Member: 25 ||| Member: 25 ||| Member: 0 Leader: 25 ||| Leader: 0 ||| Leader: 0 Founder: 25 ||| Founder: 0 ||| Founder: 100 <-- Greedy bastard
Speaking of Greedy,you can mark each Rank as greedy if you wish! anyone in the rank marked as greedy does not share their faith bonus contribution with anyone.
Looking to join one of these churches?! Here is some things to keep in mind!
When you double click a church stone,you see how many members they have, and what Pantheon they adhere to and what tradition they follow. From there you can accept to join! when you join, you receive whatever Pantheon they worship, and add to the faith pool of that church! All church stones act as resurrection stones as well,if you share the faith.
How does joining a church benefit you, other than adding a sense of community with fellow roleplayers?
Each church has a tradition,show in the link above. whether it be taking a level less of poison, or adding more faith bonus per non-cleric members. Depending on how your founder distributes faith over ranks, you could receive some prayer skill! The skill boost alone isn't helpful past casting aid and smite, BUT! You will be able to use talismans! Clerics can craft prayer talismans, and give it to non clerics. Here is how much you Prayer you need to cast a talisman bless-20/curse-20/sanct-27/boon-27/resurrect-35
