...because Tech-Priest asked so nicely.

As with the other Prayer Threads, feel free to populate this thread with your homebrew Prayers, Traditions, Sayings, Teachings and Phrases related to Tempus.

If you've riffed off of something Tempus-related in Canon Realmslore, Realms novels or any other Realms media, by all means share it here.

If you've riffed off of something NOT Realmslore related, but that you thought matched Tempus, by all means share it here.

I believe the Bastard Sword was a prefer weapon once used by the clergy.  The Brown Robes (which had a specific name) represented the Healing Protective aspects that were a result of war upon warriors or to aid the innocent affected by war.  These clerics were either old, crippled by war, or young who were awaiting their graduation into the ranks of the War Priesthood.   The Red Robes/Armor (which also had a specific name) represented the War Priest.  I also remember there was a Red Tome Artifact that held Powerful Magic used by the Tempus Clergy representing Tempus ideals.  One group of adventurers in my game found this and returned it to the Main or Head Temple which I believe around the Moonsea area.  Unfortunately this is all off the top of my head.  I'll have to look through my old 3rd Edition game design notes to find the names and places.  The Clergy does collect worn Armor and Weapons that were used in battles or events where Tempus had influence or considered Sanctified.

Battlelord


“TEMPUS!!!!  I SPILL BLOOD ON THIS FIELD FOR YOU!!!”


 


Prerequisite: Cleric class


Tempus demands battle to accomplish the tenets of your faith, and you are the chosen priest at the forefront of the war. When you call upon your divine powers, your weapons glow blood red with holy light.


 


Battlelord Path Features


Combat Instincts (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you also add one-half your level to the attack roll and damage dealt by any of your standard action attacks this turn.


 


Battlelord Rage (11th level): Once per encounter, if you roll a critical hit while making a melee attack or a close attack, you can make a close burst 1 basic attack against any targets available.


 


Battlelord’s Training (11th level): You receive proficiency in a melee weapon of your choice, heavy armor, and gain a +1 bonus to AC when wearing heavy armor.


 


Challenge of Tempus (16th level): When you hit an enemy with an at-will melee attack, you can choose to mark that enemy for the rest of the encounter. The next time that enemy moves away from you, shifts, or attacks a creature other than you, it takes half your level in damage and must save or have its movement stopped. If you mark a new enemy with this feature, any previous marks you have made with this feature end.

totalpartykilldm, I like your name!

My 4E mechanics knowledge isn't all that great, but these prayers are pretty awesome. How long did it take you to write these up?
