Priests **may** pick this background up in play, with suitable IC justification. A priest with the Divinely Favoured background will realise that using the abilities given to them by another god while they have the gaze of the gods upon them will end badly, almost certainly losing them their gods favour and becoming an [[:epic_trees#excommunicant|excommunicant]]. | + | |

| + | == Soul Pact (Free) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | As of [[resources:adventure:Oblitus Mundi]], all priests and those with Divine Favour need to be blessed by either their god or a priest who has been blessed by their god in order to bind their soul to that source of power. This is a free feature of being a Priest or having a Divine Favour and metaphysically ties your soul to another being. You should note who has blessed you with this pact. Without this pact, you will be unable to use miracles of your god. | ||

| + | If you acquire multiple Soul Pacts for some reason, please note this to the LARPO who will provide you with additional effects. | ||
