One thing I do miss from DLC that was not brought over to SW/DLR is the use of Blessings for Divine Intervention.

The Posse had a very memorable scene during Perdition's Daughter, where the Blessed in the party called down the Lord's Will to create a line of Hellfire on the ridge line behind Lady Carstairs, creating a torrent of water from the melted snow to extinguish her soul flame... But I digress!

So I have been thinking about a mechanic to use these in DLR. Firstly, has anyone been through this process?

My thoughts are in keeping with the text description and requirements;

My thoughts as someone who has only played Reloaded: it sounds like this is basically a really powerful blessing that can only be pulled off with great difficulty. That alone seems spiffy, although I'm not sure it's always necessary.

You're correct, there are not any Heroic or Legendary rank powers right now for the Blessed. The highest ones are Exorcism and Greater Healing which are Veteran (and there are no other Veteran rank powers for the Blessed). You might want to consider making some of the less potent Divine Inspirations Veteran level, as a -6 penalty means you have to roll a 10 or higher, which is bad enough for a Blessed because if you roll less, you take Fatigue.

I'm not sure the restriction of a d12 in Faith should be there: If you have less than that, it's hard enough (but not impossible) to pull off a miracle with a -8 or -10 roll. If you really want it to be unavailable for lower rank powers, maybe make it an edge with something like a d10 Faith prerequisite?

I see what you're both saying, the system is already there, there is no need to bring in anything new.

Just use existing Powers, and if the Blessed is praying for something especially... dramatic or over the top, apply positive modifiers or penalties as normal.

Thanks you've helped me to see this in a different light.

Praise the Lord!
