Feature: Faith
    • Faith:

      As an Heart, you command the respect of those who are devout, the more they love or fear Tautrin the more that is reflected upon you. • You can perform the religious ceremonies of Tautrin and can expect to receive free healing and care at his temples, shrines, or other established presence of your faith, though you must provide any material components needed for spells. • Can use religion checks instead of persuasion or intimidation checks when conversing with the devout. • Additional supplies are offered to hearts, and others (such as healing potions or medicine kits) are easier to receive.
