Faith is a Will based skill that limits the bonuses you can get from your god. If you haven't prayed recently and have reached the maximum level of favor for your Faith skill, subsequent offerings will tell you that the god is indifferent. If you believe in one of the gods, Faith is trainable in the following ways:
- Getting a random dream event ("A saint comes and blesses you in your dream")
- Reading a scroll of faith
- Reading a textbook <Art of Faith>
- In Elona+, preaching trains your and your pets' Faith
If you don't believe in gods, reading scrolls of faith will do nothing to your Faith skill. However, you could still raise your Faith skill by reading the Art of Faith skillbook.
Faith is not the same as favor, which is what truly determines the magnitude of your god's bonuses and your eligibility for god gifts. Buffed Faith determines the upper limit of favor. Note that if your buffed Faith decreases, it does not affect your favor - you just won't be able to raise your favor until your buffed Faith increases.
Anyone have a chart or explanation of how much Faith affects your bonuses?
