Talking with dead ancestors
« on: April 19, 2010, 09:15:32 PM »
In the world of RoE, how the communicating with the ancestors' spirits works? Is there anything I can read about it?

Honoring traditions and your ancestors is important to all Anuirean. It's part of the old and rich religious tradition that has roots back to the days before the tribes came to Cerilia. Just like you can pray to the gods and various saints you can also give offerings and pray for help and guidance from your ancestors. Nothing strange or wrong with that.

There is a difference between the honored dead and the undead through, so chatting away with a malignant ghost is not the same as lighting a candle on the Eve of the Dead and asking your forefathers for guidance.

Are dead ancestors usually more communicative than gods or even less?

Hard to tell. People are convinced that some prayers are answered, others not.

I assume any such attempt requires an Adventure action. Or is it easier?

Adventure? It involves lighting a candle and praying. It has no domain level application.

Nice. On the other hand it probably means it is just for flavour. Hardly anything really useful in game terms can be obtained from it when it is so easy :)  I Will try and see ...
