Hello everybody,
straight to the point I'm facing some trouble with Clerics in Occipitus. Despite the fact that the Manual of the Planes states a "Normal" in the Magic entry for Abyss, the layer itself has no standard daily cycle: the bursting plasms make the sky red in color all the time, so, for clerics that pray to get spells during specific hours or times of the day (dawn, dusk, noon, midnight, etc.), this may represent a problem.
In my party there is a cleric worshipping Heironeous (Greyhawk Campaign), so he is strongly motivated to bring the layer back to Celestia (where Heironeous is). However, before running the adventure, we assumed that the cleric had to pray during early morning to get spells from the deity.
I tried to justify the daily cycle with the presence of animals and creatures (fiendish of course) like buffalos and centaurs that must have a biological cycle (eat, sleep, etc.), so that there is a course of the day also in Occipitus, but I'm not able to exactly define when the cleric should pray, i.e. when we may say it's early morning. Just after waking up seems too "easy". Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Cristiano/Klysandral
IMC, clerics feel a spiritual need to pray when it is time. That would be the same on Occipitus.
Thank you Berandor... I felt like a novice reading at your reply!
