Re: GURPS Powers: Divine Favor
Already covered under Petition Roll Modifiers on page 5.
I was thinking more about using the extra charisma to fuel my rise to power, or raise an army to fight the bad guys, or create public support for something that my god supports. edit: or maybe just convince the faithful to raise funds to improve the church.

Re: GURPS Powers: Divine Favor
One thing I must say about this book and what I like about it is that it really tries to be close to a Judeo-Christian concept of a cleric. The Dungeon Fantasy cleric was modeled on the Judeo-Christian cleric from vampire movies so it is really cool that a character with divine favor would really come close to this instead of just a wizard with healing spells. I think that a DF template would be quite useful for divine favor clerics too. I would also love it if there were templates with info for Christian clercs for use with DF as this is truly where the original DF cleric came from instead of some religion where the cleric worships Glorp the Good. The same would be true of a Knights Templar template for the holy warrior.

Re: GURPS Powers: Divine Favor
Sure, that's in there. See Power and Privilege (p. 7), which gives the GM a few different ways to make things like Power Investiture or Religious Rank make a difference.

tl;dr version: Divine Favor tries to be close to real-world concepts of a holy cleric, but not that of any one particular religion.

Re: GURPS Powers: Divine Favor
For this reason, I'd also like to note that it was really tricky to come up with a web blurb for this item that avoided use of "God" or any other "named names" . . . :-)

Re: GURPS Powers: Divine Favor
Was "deity" taken? As far as I know, that's both generic and gender neutral.

Re: GURPS Powers: Divine Favor
Actually, the Devil is frequently refered to throughout the DF books. Kind funny of when you think about it.
