The Olde Realm: 2013

Religions, Beliefs, Cults, and Orders

of the Olde Realm

and

Their Granted Powers

For game purposes each power IS a skill at 0%. If it has a number such as x2 or more the ability cost 2 times more to study or gain experience in. Either in belief or training one has leaned to harness these powers. Unlike many RPGs many of these powers are not as flashy and are low powered but not all. Most religions will guard their secrets from the masses and only do spells or miracles for their OWN masses. Religions and Secret Orders will KILL to protect their secret holy books that grant one powers. One cannot just take a religious book and begin casting spells or miracles. One must be a believer. It seems that the gods blindly grant their followers powers no matter how their religion is presented. Even if their Priest are not following the tenants. Most of these powers must be done within the Cathedrals or Churches in order to work BUT some can be done anywhere such as the terrible powers of the Wizards of the Eight Elements! Some powers have a multiplier and are not simple and easy to do as others.
