Faithful Noble

Features

Privilege of the Faithful

As a faithful noble, you have the knowledge and respect of those who share your faith and can perform the religious ceremonies of your deity. You and your fellow adventurers can expect to receive free healing and care at a temple, shrine, or other established presence of your faith, although you must provide all the material components needed for spells. But, thanks to your noble birth, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk and merchants make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to.  

Suggested Characteristics

Faithful nobles are formed by their experience in high society and other religious communities. Your study of the history and principles of your faith and your relationships with temples, shrines or hierarchies affect your mannerisms and ideals. However, they still have the noble connections and responsibilities with the people. Its faults may be some hidden hypocrisy or heretical idea, or an ideal or attachment taken to an extreme.
