d100 Pilgrimages of Atonement

So paladins and clerics and others occasionally offend the gods and need to prove to their gods they are not jerks. These are some quests to patch up your gods unconditional love.

Also good for npc characters. to make up for some failure. Most gods and beings will temporarily remove your powers after at least one warning, three at most. An offer of atonement comes only after they have demonstrated sincerity and will allow a Oath spell to be cast on them.

Accepting a new tabu or oath according to alignment might be a common form of atonement also. Actually makes followers more extreme to compensate for past failure.

Characters who are priests, clerics, paladins, champions even monks might require a sacrifice of action to restore their gods faith and holy powers. Do not ask if you have faith in god. Ask if god has faith in you. Repented characters are expected to be more zealous and right acting as example to others. Some order penitents wear hair shirts or practice self flagellation to atone for petty sins and desires. Periods of prayer and silent contemplation alone might work too.

If players have come into conflict with a god or their religion they might try this procedure to bring peace and ask forgiveness. Some might be tough to comply.

10 Take on a pilgrimage of atonement

A priest might take on your case and advise on options or if heroic might use magic to divine what god wants with magic to advise the penitent. Penitents or atonement might wear a badge or mark indicating to the faithful this person is on a moral quest.

A god might meddle in such a quest and make things harder sending temptations, perils and worse. An enemy cult might also make life harder.

A god might be impressed you have suffered and atoned and let you off. They might even send a message or appear to the atoned in a dream. A god might reward a hero as a welcome back to the fold. Perhaps a gift of a intelligent magic item that can advise them better. Perhaps a guardian Spirit. Doing some of these tasks for your god as a sacrifice might earn you merit in heaven or a real gift or attention from your big (not imaginary) friend in the sky. Some of these you must continue forever but at some point the god restores your abilities but expects you to continue the task even if it is endless. They will tell you when to stop atoning but might restore powers at a climactic moment to help you achive quest.
