For extreme cases of sharply-limited portfolios, where the Divine Favor relates only to a single limited-domain diety, a -20% limitation (essentially equivalent to Aspected) might be appropriate. You probably also want to define portfolio-appropriate prayers rather than using generic ones (both to use as learned prayers and references for freeform ones.) |

From there, maybe apply "Hard To Use" or "Reliable" to those modifiers to limit/enhance the limitations to get the different penalities/bonuses to reaction rolls for each god. Not sure it'd work, but it's something to look at. EDIT: Thaumatology, I believe, has rules for a limited number of colleges as well. Or there's the Accessibility limitation. Compare the % of prayers available through the limited portfolio (either through god(s) of pantheon worshipped or limited aspect of the god(s) worshipped) to the table in Powers.

Some of the combinations can be:
There are several different approaches to these conflicts or to these situations in which there seem to be more than "a true God", more than a "divine pantheon", or any mix of that. Two of them, very summarized, could be:

If you think that a paragon who can draw on the favor of two gods is in a markedly better position than the one who's limited to a single divine patron, let him buy Divine Favor for the second deity as an Alternate Power to the Divine Favor you purchased for the first. You still pay the listed price for Learned Prayers, regardless of which deity is providing them; but you must meet the prerequisites set by whichever deity is granting the Learned Prayer in question. And suddenly I'm thinking of the hypothetical GURPS In Nomine 2e, but replacing "deity" with "Superior". In particular, "Attunements" would be IN-speak for Learned Prayers. |

Re: GURPS Powers: Divine Favor
Again, pardon the necro, I've finally gotten a chance to use this book, building a DF Dungeon Saint who is also a con-man.
What would you say would be the Enhancement required to allow Charisma to give bonuses to the Petition Roll? Either equivalent to Religious Ranks bonuses or as a straight up +1/lvl bonus? I was thinking Cosmic +200%, but to also allow the Charisma to sway any Indomitable people/monsters/gods the character might talk to. |
