Favor
Your favor reflects how much your deity approves of you and your actions. It can increase if you follow the principles of your deity or decrease if you go against those wishes. High favor gives you better chance rolls and weapon bonuses, while low favor penalizes you. Favor is also used to request, or supplicate, special services from your deity.
If you deviate from your deity's alignment, you shall suffer a penalty in favor for some actions.
Some deities provide bonuses for or deliver punishments against certain acts. Knowing your deity well is prudent. Every deity will reward devotion of exceptional longevity by granting favor with greater ease.
