a definite "luck" theme. Of course, feel free to disregard and tweak as appropriate for your own game.

disfavor, but stays its unfathomable hands/tentacles...at least for now. Increase your Disapproval by 1d6.

A Small Test Of Thy Boldness, Perhaps.... Your god demands an appropriate show of faitha
reckless risk, while calling out his/her/its name... Until such an sacrifice is made, you suffer a -1 penalty
