This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Incorporating Saints Into Your DnD Religious Mechanics


In a Medieval-Authentic game, if you want to create a religious world that is even remotely similar to the European Medieval world, you need to incorporate the veneration of Saints.

With RPGPundit Presents #68: Cult of the Saints you can do just that! This sourcebook adds mechanics for the veneration and intercession of saints to your magical system.  Mechanics are included that allow characters to pray to saints for intercession, whether they are clerics or ordinary believers. You can try to pray to any saint, but if your character has a usual patron saint (or saints) that they venerate on a regular basis, along with devout religious practice, they'll be more likely to succeed of course.



In addition to mechanics to handle praying to saints, icons, relics, and saints' days, Cult of the Saints includes a list of 46 famous and not-so-famous popular medieval saints, complete with a brief history of who they were, their miracles, saints' say, location of their relics, and the effects of intercession for regular congregants or clerical prayer.  There's a few pretty unusual ones here, that might stump even some hardcore Catholics!

While designed as an additional prayer technique for Lion & Dragon, the rules here are self contained and can be easily used in any OSR or D&D game, as well as most other fantasy games with some slight modification.

So, be sure to check out Cult of the Saints on DTRPG, or on the Precis Intermedia Webstore!
