Editing FANGS: Appendix D - Priest (section)

===Advanced Ceremonies: ===

There are other, more advanced ceremony spells available only to Priests. Typically they allow the Priest on behalf of his Presence to witness, accept a sacrifice, or consecrate a space. They each work in a similar fashion as Prayers and Vigils, but circle penalties do apply, and the skill may be improved by critical successes like other priest spells. 

*'''Bestow Follower (3rd Circle)''' -- Allows the an Initiate or Priest to accept the sacrifice of a prospective follower. Requires a sanctified space and takes as long as a Prayer. 

*'''Sanctify Space (3rd Circle)''' -- Bless the ground for the distance of a single pace (3') so that simple ceremonies may be performed -- all who stand on sanctified ground may add +2 to any dice rolls, and evil creatures must subtract +2. Evil creatures and Presences opposed to the Priest will have a difficult time crossing edges of a sanctified space and must roll an Attribute Check vs PW. Can be cumulative with Bless/Curse, but only one sanctify per space. Sanctify takes as long as a Prayer to perform for each space, and only lasts a day. 

*'''Witness Vow (4th Circle)''' -- Allows the Priest to accept the vow of a follower. Requires a sanctified space and takes as long as a Prayer. If the Vow is broken, a curse may fall on the breaker. The curse can be as simple as the spell, but could be different based on the whim of the Presence. If the follower continues to break a promised vow, he may loose all all of the powers granted by the followers previous sacrifices to the Presence, and the curse made permanent. 

*'''Dedicate Initiate (4th Circle)''' -- Allows a Priest to accept the sacrifice of a follower allowing them to become an Initiate, or the sacrifice of a 2nd circle Initiate to the 3rd Circle. Requires a sanctified space and takes as long as a Vigil. 

*'''Consecrate Priest (4th Circle)''' -- Allows an initiate to sacrifice to become a Priest, or a Priest to sacrifice for a higher circle. Requires at least 1 Priest of a higher circle to accept the sacrifice, or the number of Priests of that circle (i.e. 7 Priests of the 7th Circle could dedicate a 7th Circle Priest to 8th) Requires a space consecrated by a Priest of a circle 1 higher then that of the Priest being dedicated (i.e. the space must at least be consecrated by a Priest of 5th circle to dedicate a 4th Circle Priest to 5th) or, rarely, some other holy place to the Presence. A Consecration takes as long as a Vigil. 

*'''Consecrate Space (4th Circle)''' -- Bless the ground for the distance of a single pace (3') so that advanced ceremonies may be performed -- all who stand on sanctified ground may add +2 to any dice rolls. In addition, all who stand there may subtract the caster's Circle to any rolls against them by evil creatures or an opposed Presence, and add the same for any rolls against the opposition. Evil creatures and Presences opposed to the Priest will have a difficult time crossing edges of a sanctified space and must roll an Attribute Check vs PW. Can be cumulative with Bless/Curse, but not with Sanctify. There many be only one sanctify per space. Consecration is a long ceremony and takes a day to perform for each space. Consecrating a space takes as long as a vigil, must be renewed yearly, but only takes as long as a Prayer to renew.
