Editing Petition

When performing Sidereal Astrology, you want to make sure you succeed at your 
[[Prayer Roll]].  The best way to do this, is to draw up a nice petition to the 
Pattern Spiders who are responsible for implimenting the Fate you desire.  This requires you make up a prayer strip requiring two dots of Resources worth of materials and a roll.  The roll is either Wits + Linguistics or Wits + Craft (Calligraphy), Diffculty 2.  Difficulty 4 if you try to hurry things.

Succeeding at this basic roll eliminates the +2 to the Difficulty of the [[Prayer Roll]].  Getting four or five successes on this roll reduces the 
Difficulty of the [[Prayer Roll]] by 1, six or more successes reduce the Difficulty of the [[Prayer Roll]] by 3.

You can also get people to Cosign your petition.  Each one that does grants you another die on the [[Prayer Roll]], but they have to succeed at a Wits + Linguistics or Wits + Craft (Calligraphy) roll to make sure their signature is pretty enough.  There are limits to who may cosign and how many cosigners you can have, see page 207 of <u>Exalted: the Sidereals</u>.

You can also get your boss (the god in charge of your division of the Brurea of Destiny) to Countersign your petition.  This requires you pray to him/her/it, making a normal [[Prayer Roll]] (Difficulty can be lowered with sacrifices, there's a list of the preferred sacrifices for each of the Division Heads on page 207, but you subtract three from the Resources value of the sacrifice).  This adds three dice to the [[Prayer Roll]] for the Astrological Effect.
