Prayers from the Faithful (Accessory)

Rating:
Summary: A detailed, interesting book for the Forgotten Realms world.
Review: Like the previously printed "Pages from the Mages," Prayers is a companion supplement providing information on the some of the rarer magical books/devices found in TSR's Forgotten Realms world. However, its descriptions are concerned with 'holy' relics instead of wizards' spellbooks. As with that book, it provides good, detailed information and descriptions to aid a player or Game master in adding it to his own role-playing campaign. For those who are adherents to the Forgotten Realms mythology, it remains fairly consistent and incorporates many of the official changes that have developed in that game world. Becuase most of the rules information is placed in the book, a person can generally get by without extensive knowledge of the Realms' pantheon. This allows players to incorporate any of the relics into other, non-Forgotten Realms, game campaigns if they like, with little modifications. The only fault in this material is that some of the ideas for the holy books/relics are somewhat convoluted or odd in their explanations. This may require a more thorough understanding of the gaming rules and possibly alterations to make it less confusing for actual play.
