Prayer Roll

sitcoal In Exalted, prayers can be used to influence the gods and gain positive attentions. The rules governing them are in the Core Book on pages 335 and 336. Essentially, you make a Performnce + Charisma Roll with a Difficulty of 6 - (number of dots of Recources sacrifice is worth) (+ 1 if you're not a priest).

When saying offering prayer to the pattern spiders for Sidereal Astrology, Sidereals add 2 to the difficulty of this roll if they don't make up a petition to go along with the prayer (there's a minor continuity error as the Sidereals phatsplat says that the Chosen of the Maidens get a difficulty 5 (6 minus 1 for being a priest)).

The Pattern Spiders don't care about sacrifices when you offer up a prayer to perform Sideral Astrology, so there's no reduction in Difficulty for that. You can, however, add 1 die for every three hours spent in prayer, to a maximum of +3 dice. Also, you can get bonuses for your petition if done right.

Base rolls:

Solar Zenith: Performnce + Charisma, Difficulty (6 - (dots of Recources sacrifice is worth))
Sidereal praying for Astrological Effect: Performnce + Charisma Roll with a Difficulty of 7 (unless there's a petition)
All nonpriests: Performnce + Charisma, Difficulty (7 - (dots of Recources sacrifice is worth))
