1d10proficiency_modifierYou may attempt to commune with your Deity once per long rest through prayer, vigil, or rites aligned with your oath. The specific observance should be predetermined with your GM during character creation and thematically tied to your Deity’s domain and your tenets. The Deity is not obligated to respond; the GM determines if and how they answer based on the request, your devotion, and the nature of the Deity.
If you wish to force communion, you may expend all uses of your paladin’s oath-based divine resource (such as Channel Divinity or your table’s equivalent) over an hour-long rite of intense supplication. This does not guarantee a favorable response, and the Deity may demand penance, service, or impose consequences.
The GM has full control over the Deity’s response, which may include clear guidance, cryptic omens, silence, trials of faith, or punishment. Paladins who uphold their tenets may receive clearer answers or temporary blessings, while those who violate them may be ignored, tested, or chastised.
The GM may also choose to have the Deity initiate contact under special circumstances—such as a broken vow, entering a place sacred or accursed to the Deity, or when the Deity requires something urgent. This contact may manifest as a vision, command, omen, or palpable divine presence.
Ignoring your Deity or straying from your tenets for extended periods may result in penalties determined by the GM, including loss or reduction of your oath-based resource, withholding of spells or class features, divine disfavor, or curses, until you atone through penance, pilgrimage, or service.
