Faith Dice & Spells

Classes that gain their magic from an external force, rather than their internal power use Faith Dice for casting.

Faith Dice start as d8s and can be used interchangeably with Magic Dice, however Faith Dice change size based on the cleric.

When a Faith die is rolled to cast spells, it is ignored for the sake of corruptions and dooms, but if a 7 or higher is rolled, the die does not affect the spell (treat it as if it hadn’t been rolled) but is restored to the pool.

Strictures

As long as a faith caster generally follows the strictures of their deity, they have d8 faith dice, but should they begin to fall from grace, that die can be increased to a d10, then a d12. These can be reduced back to d8 with proper adherence to stricture, or by doing a great deed in the name of their deity. Lesser deeds that are in the deities interest can cause FD to be reduced by one size for that given attempt.

If the faith caster turns from their deity, they lose these templates and may gain new templates through regular levelups, unless they preform a great deed in the name of their spurned deity.
