Feature: Shelter of the Faithful
As an acolyte, you command the respect of those who share your faith, and you can perform the religious ceremonies of your deity.
- You and your adventuring companions can expect to receive free healing and care at a temple, shrine, or other established presence of your faith (though you must provide material components for spells).
- Those who share your religion will support you (but only you) at a modest lifestyle.
- You may have ties to a specific temple dedicated to your chosen deity or pantheon, and you have a residence there. This could be the temple where you used to serve, or a temple where you have found a new home.
- While near your temple, you can call upon the priests for assistance, provided the assistance you ask for is not hazardous and you remain in good standing with your temple.
