Sacrifice Domain

What is a permanent Injury?

Honor comes from battle and gods grievous wounds please the gods. But what makes an Injury eligible for the Ritual of Honored Offering?

As a rule of thumb, any mutilation that hampers the character. Here are some examples:

•A missing eye, or being blind

•A missing an ear, or being deaf

•A missing hand or arm

•A missing foot or leg

•A missing nose

•A disfiguring scar that renders you hideous

•Suffering a permanent reduction of the number of spell slots available

The GM’s word on what is considered a Permanent Injury is final, and should allocate appropriate drawbacks depending on the nature of the Injury. If you remove the negative effects of such Injury, by magic or any other mean, you cannot reap the benefit of the Ritual.

Ritual of the Honored Offering

Starting at 1st level, as part of a long rest, you can per form a ritual.

Choose a number of Permanent Injures (see sidebar) equal to your Wisdom modifier among

any number of creatures you can see. Each participant can choose one of the following

benefits for every injury it offered during the ritual:

Benefit of Fortune.

The recipient can reroll a single ability check, attack roll or saving throw.

Benefit of Endurance.

As a bonus action, the recepient can spend and roll one of its Hit Die, healing

that amount of Hit Points. If one choose this benefit multiple times, it can use multiple dice in a single bonus action.

Benefit of Knowledge.

The recipient chooses one 1st-level spell they do not know nor can prepare.“

“If they take this benefit multiple times, i they can learn a higher level spell, but must have spell slots of the appropriate level.

Every benefit lasts until the next long rest.

Bonus Proficiency

Blessed Scars

These effects last 1 minute.

Consecrated Loss
