NAME
piety - a personal quality that determines how favorably one's Power views them

DESCRIPTION
Religious adherents are subject to the whim of their chosen deity or Power's
benevolence, dependent on how responsive that deity or Power's followers have
been to their divine needs and whims. These are subject to that divine being's
overall Benevolence, widely seen as a gauge of their temperament. Piety does
not deal so much with how the divine entity is feeling, or how strong they are
relative to their surrounding pantheon; rather, Piety is a strongly personal
trait, only present, noticeable or meaningful to the individual.

Piety affects the success rate, efficacy and strength of Religious Spells,
even more, point-per-point, than Benevolence. For every 1 point of Piety
possessed, a religious spell's power and level will increase by 1, up to 100.

Piety may be obtained as rewards for good deeds by religious individuals the
world over, most notably by doing marks.
