Perform Sacred Rites
A pious character can spend time between adventures performing sacred rites in a temple affiliated with a deity he or she reveres. In between rites, the character spends time in meditation and prayer. A character who is a priest in the temple can lead these rites, which might include weddings, funerals, consecrations, and ordinations. A layperson can perform more simple tasks, such as offering sacrifices in a temple, or assisting a priest with a complex ritual.
Resources
You must be at least Master in Religion in order to perform Sacred Rites, and you must be at least Trained in Religion in order to attempt to assist in these rites. There is no guarantee a layperson's volunteer efforts will be accepted; in some cases, this may require a successful Diplomacy, Religion, or relevant Lore Skill check.
Resolution
A character who spends at least 2 days performing sacred rites may make a Religion check against a DC of their choice.
