Pray command
Posted by Apostate on 10/31/20
While most Arvani are profoundly skeptical of any prayers being heard, there are those that have more faith, and a few positively certain there are entities that are listening. The 'pray' command is a way of both ICly praying to the gods Faith of the Pantheon, or for those that have discovered their existence, other beings or even supernatural companions such as spirits, demons and the like. While true deus ex machina will be extremely rare, this command is used for characters to pray to the gods of above or below in the hopes of a sign, or talk to that pesky ghost that won't leave a character alone about just why that might still be happening.
The command can be used up to 3 times per week, though in practice it should be pretty sparing and just on something that adds significant color to a PC or really fits their story that's potentially noteworthy to a supernatural force. Alternatively, it can be used to ask questions of entities familiar with the character and see if they have time to get around to an answer.
PCs can have up to 13 unanswered prayers at a time, and delete them at will with the 'pray/forget' command, so if something is no longer relevant they can dump them. Answers to prayers will likely be rare, and based on how much it lines up with the ideology of the entity being invoked, which can be good or extremely bad, so be wary.
