I'm interested in playing a character who worships Jezelda and has the demonic obedience feat, for the purposes of the obediance I only get the bonus when the moon is visible and I give prayers to the moon. The one day I do something different is when the new moon is out and I have to commit an act of atrocity and violence. However... The bonus is only while the moon is out.
Can I safely ignore the whole devouring my own species thing and not lose anything? And what defines when the moon is visible. Is this when I can see it, or when its above my side of the planet, or any night that it is not a new moon? I'm thinking its at dm's discretion.
This is mostly a question for simplicity and party cohesion. I would find it difficult to believe that I have a near 12/7 bonus that I can commit myself to with such minimal effort.
