Player’s Guide to Piety
Notes about Piety
● Piety can increase at the end of any arc, and at every level up milestone.
● Your words, actions, and deeds during an arc determine whether or not your piety
increases or decreases.
● Each of you starts with 1 piety for the deity or entity you declared yourself a
champion of.
● When piety reaches: 3+, 10+, 25+, and 50+ you will be granted a permanent boon from
your Patron. You keep this boon as long as you maintain the piety score needed to
unlock it.
● Sacrifices are a great way to gain easy piety. Though as champions you are held to a
much higher standard. AKA just a few oxen ain’t gonna cut it.
