Prayer time for divine casters


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


I was wondering if there was an official take on the usual (caster) prayer time(s?) of the various gods. And if not, whether someone has already tried to make an unofficial list or not.

I have Gods and Magic, the Inner Sea setting book and Faiths of Purity and I *thought* I had seen mentions of it, but maybe I've just dreamed it because I can't find them anymore.

Don't have the books in front of me, but I know sunrise is the typical prayer time for the sun goddess Sarenrae. I don't know any of the others off the top of my head.


Because of the Recent Casting Limit, unless your GM agrees to waive it, all clerics had better pray first thing when they wake up or miss out on all the spell slots they've used in the last 8 hours of adventuring. Takes away a lot of flavor from the various deities.

As with arcane spells, at the time of preparation any spells cast within the previous 8 hours count against the number of spells that can be prepared.

If you're, say, a cleric of Desna who likes to pray when the first star appears in the sky and your party has a big encounter sometime after noon, you can't refill any spell slots you cast during or after that encounter until the next day at starrise.

I believe Asmodeans do their prayers, or at least conduct important human sacrifices, at midnight.


May I ask where everyone is getting these prayer times? Have I missed it in the mentioned books or has it appeared in other publications?

Joana: I agree, recent casting limit is a bit stunting the fluff in that regard. The only legal possibility I can see for such characters is to prepare their spells in the morning, like everyone else, *but* keep their slots opened. As such, they would spend 15 minutes on this since it's the minimum. Later that day, when fluff prayer time comes up, they can spend their actual 1 hour of real preparation to select their spells.

EDIT: Also, looking for Serenrae sunrise yields curious finds...

I honestly don't remember where I read it about Sarenrae. Probably Gods and Magic, but that's a guess. I don't have the books in front of me.

The deity articles in the AP are where I got my sources.

Ah, thanks! I'll go see the ones I have to extract this.
