In a campaign where Divine Favor is actual divine favor, I, as a GM, would give a player who used it to ask that question a very elliptic reply indeed (similarly, requests to imminentize the escatcheon or promote someone to prophet status are unlikely to be granted as such). Since a very ellipitic reply is also what is expected if Divine Favor is actually powered by magic or belief or whatever, this winds up not helping much in determining its true nature.

If you take this too far, Divine Favor is useless, the power you call on has to be demonstratable for it to be worth the points at all.
