DIVI! "IIO#
$ll t%pes of bein&s ma% serve deities. In &eneral, a deit% onl% accepts minions 'ho have accomplished some &reat deed in
service to the deit%. #uch minions usuall% have the same ali&nment as the deit%. o minion(s ali&nment is opposed to the
patron deit%(s ali&nment on either the la')chaos a*is or the &ood)evil a*is.
+ro*ies
$ divine pro*% spea,s and acts on behalf of the divine bein&. -hen the demand for a deit%(s presence is too hi&h, the deit%
ma% use pro*ies.
+ro*ies are divine minions invested 'ith a small portion of the deit%(s po'er. $ deit% ma% invest 1 ran, of its po'er
.reducin& its divine ran, accordin&l%/ in a sin&le servant for as lon& as the deit% chooses. The minion must be ph%sicall%
present for the deit% to perform the investiture. -hile so invested, the pro*% &ains an% salient divine abilities held b% the
patron deit% as 'ell as the po'ers and abilities of a ran, 1 demi&od. -ithout the re0uisite abilit% scores or divine ran,s, the
pro*% ma% not be able to use all those po'ers and abilities. $ deit% ma% have more than one pro*%, but it must lose 1 divine
ran, for each pro*% it invests. $ deit% can retrieve a sin&le divine ran, as a standard action, and doin& so it does not re0uire
the ph%sical presence of the pro*%.
+etitioners
#ome spirits demonstrate their devotion to their deit% b% travelin& to the deit%(s home plane. Those that survive the 1ourne%
across the planes become servants of their deit%. -hile a fe' ma% remain disembodied spirits, most become petitioners
throu&h the divine 'ill of their patron deit%.
In &eneral, petitioners appear in the form that the% had 'hen the% died, thou&h the% ma% be remade b% deities to fit the nature
of their particular afterlife. In &eneral, petitioners 'ho become divine servants are creatures that ori&inall% had at least 1
Intelli&ence and 1 -isdom.
The follo'in& creature t%pes ma% become petitioners dependin& on the deit%2 aberrations, animals, dra&ons, fe%, &iants,
humanoids, ma&ical beasts, monstrous humanoids, and plants, oo3es, and vermin 'ith sufficient abilit% scores. Constructs
and undead are not usuall% made into petitioners, thou&h the spirits of their ori&inal forms ma% be. !lementals and outsiders
tend to meld 'ith their native planes, and as such do not become petitioners. Their spirits ma% still be called bac, from the
dead, ho'ever.
The template presented belo' is for +Cs, not pla%er characters. If dead characters 'ho are petitioners are later restored to
life .once a&ain becomin& pla%er characters/, the% for&et an% of their e*periences as petitioners.
