Rapture
When Blessed Ones use large numbers of karma points (KP) within a short period of time, they acquire a condition called Rapture. Every passing hour reduces Rapture levels by 1. For more about Rapture, see Chapter 11: Works of the Gods, page 314.Example: Brother Hilbert cast several liturgical chants and now has 2 levels of Rapture. This means that most of his skill checks receive a –2 penalty. Only checks for skills agreeable to his god, Peraine (see page 320), do not suffer from the priest’s condition (in fact, they get a +1 bonus). Although Hilbert is now in a blissful and almost holy state, every passing hour reduces his Rapture level by 1. If he uses more KP before all of his Rapture levels disappear, the reduction of Rapture stops, and he might even gain more levels of Rapture.
