Days of Gold Class Reference
A portable following, rites, judgment, and divine authority.
Staff or ceremonial dagger (2 Harm), a common outfit worn as vestments, a common holy symbol, and a small religious kit: a candle, small bell, and tinderbox.
When you command the Faithful to undertake a moderately demanding task and they succeed, the GM gains 1 Fortune to later turn the world in the characters' favor.
Sacred Sites. You know how to move through and read temples, shrines, monasteries, cemeteries, pilgrimage roads, catacombs, holy springs, consecrated ruins, forbidden chapels, and ancient burial grounds.
When your Regional Knowledge applies to Journey or Get the Lay of the Land, choose 1 additional option or question, regardless of the result of the roll.
Name your god, saint, pantheon, philosophy with divine reality, or sacred power. Choose a Domain such as Mercy, Death, War, Hearth, Sea, Knowledge, Sun, Night, Roads, Justice, Storms, Harvest, or something more specific. Choose 2 Tenets and 1 Prohibition concrete enough to guide your rites, followers, and miracles. These are convictions and fictional obligations, not a spendable resource.
Your Following is a vast and uneven body of believers rather than a fixed squad. The Faithful have no universal combat profile. A beggar, merchant, craftsperson, guard, assassin, knight, healer, magistrate, veteran soldier, or someone stranger may answer. When their statistics matter, use the actual NPC who appears.
Your Following reveals itself whenever you call upon it in any social space. You do not choose which believers answer. The GM introduces whoever makes sense for that place, your religion, any Blessings in Surplus, your active Wants, and the result of The Faithful Answer.
Routine shelter, messages, introductions, worship, community help, and other ordinary support happen without a roll when the Faithful can reasonably provide them.
Choose 3 Blessings and 2 Wants. At the start of each session, roll +Presence.
The GM gains 1 Fortune this session.
The GM chooses one mundane good or service worth up to 50 gp. The Faithful provide it without cost this session.
Gain 25 gp in offerings, tithes, and gifts.
The GM tells you one useful rumor, opportunity, or piece of news brought by the Faithful.
Treat your Reputation as 1 higher with communities where your religion has a meaningful presence.
The GM names one local authority, institution, or influential person favorable toward your religion and willing to hear you out or open a door otherwise locked.
The Faithful lack food, shelter, medicine, or money and look to you or the community for relief.
A hostile institution, rival religion, ruler, or local prejudice pressures the Faithful.
The Faithful demand that someone be condemned or publicly answer for an offense.
Two factions disagree over doctrine, leadership, money, or the proper response.
Some Faithful act too quickly, harshly, or violently in the religion's name.
The Faithful become passive, frightened, or unwilling to act without your personal direction.
A prominent follower's hypocrisy, crime, appetite, or secret damages trust in the whole Following.
When you call upon your Following to carry out a difficult, dangerous, or consequential decree in the name of your religion, roll +Presence.
When someone sincerely comes to you for guidance about a real decision they intend to act on, they take +1 forward when acting on your guidance, and you gain 10 gp in offerings, gifts, or support. If they roll a 6- while following your guidance exactly, resolve the result normally, but the GM gains 1 Fortune instead of 1 Dread. Whenever you roll a 6-, resolve the result normally, but the GM gains 1 Fortune instead of 1 Dread.
Choose 2 at character creation. Each unchosen Class Perk can later be purchased for 2,000 gp.
Perform ordinary funerals, weddings, blessings, cleansings, Oaths, and sacred observances without cost or roll. Everyone who sincerely attends takes +1 forward; if unused, it expires at the end of the next session.
With a focused rite, drive a lesser possessing spirit, ghost, curse-presence, undead influence, or hostile divine presence from a person or place. A greater being can be confronted directly when you know its name, weakness, or history.
After a moment of prayer, know whether a nearby place or object is actively cursed, possessed, desecrated, undead, or under hostile divine influence.
Once per session, ask for plausible aid fitting your Domain: a guide arrives, a temple opens, weather turns, a witness appears, or a lost object is revealed. The GM chooses the exact form and may attach a duty.
Once per person per session, touch them and clear 2 Wounds. This can heal someone who is Broken or Dying.
You gain a Small battalion of 6 clergymen who protect you and your ideals: Harm 3, Armor 1, Quality +1, Loyalty 3. At the start of each session, replace 1 slain clergyman.
Once per session, in a place of quiet and solitude, pray to Get the Lay of the Land, rolling +Wits as normal. Ask 1 additional question regardless of the result, on top of any question from Regional Knowledge. You may ask one of these instead of a normal question: What is the biggest danger to my faith? Who can do the most harm to my faith? Who is in need of a miracle?
After an uninterrupted hour of prayer, restore someone who died since the last dawn. They return Broken. The resurrection is obvious and spiritually consequential.
Once per session, consecrate a room, shrine, campsite, or similarly small place for a scene. Lesser monsters cannot cross its boundary; deliberate mortal violation is unmistakably revealed.
Repeatable, maximum twice. Increase any one Stat by +1. A Stat cannot exceed +4.
After creating your character, ask the table each question one at a time. Any other player may answer by volunteering their character. Briefly establish what happened and what the relationship looks like now. If no player answers, the GM fills the role with an NPC instead. You may reject a GM-created answer and ask for another, but you cannot veto another player's decision to be involved.
