The buff you can obtain from the tabernacle isa ‘blessing’ from the deities housed here. To get it, you’ll need to make a donation toany deity of your choice. The statue by the altar in the northernmost area of the tabernacle represents multiple deities, whilethe statues standing along the sides represent only one deity.
Feel free to pick any of the deities that interest you becausethey all give the same buff. Once you’ve chosen a deity, you’ll be prompted to make a donation. You can donate any item, butyou’ll need to donate a very specific amount of goldto be eligible for the deity’s daily blessing. The required amount of gold is differentdepending on your character’s level.

Once you’ve made the donation, you can pray to the deity to receive a buff calledAnointed in Splendour. This will give you a+2 bonus to all saving throws!
You canrepeat the same process for every companion you have recruited, and each will be able to pray to their chosen deity for a buff. This buff only lasts until your next long rest, but you canpray to the deity for the blessing again for free every day.
How To Retrieve The Donation You Made
A Treacherous Stealth Mission
You may find that the price to pay for the blessing is quite a steep one, butthere’s a way to retrieve the donationyou offered to the deity. You’ll have to look forthe trapdoor tucked in the southwest corner of the tabernacle. You’ll need to go through that trapdoor to get to the basement. This is where all the donations are being stored.
Make sure that Vicar Humbletoes doesn’t see you while you’re picking the lock on the trapdoor becausethis is considered an illegal activity. If he catches you, his attitude towards you will worsen andhis wares will be priced higher for you.
You can have one of your party members distract Vicar Humbletoes before you pick the lock on the trapdoor. Have a companion turn the vicar away from the direction of the trapdoor by starting a conversation with him.
Once you’ve picked the lock,go through the trap door. You’ll find yourself in the basement of Stormshore Tabernacle. The space is tight, andthe floor is littered with traps. There are pressure plates laid aroundthat will trigger a burst of holy fireengulfing the room when stepped on.
You’ll need topass a perception checkfor each of them to spot their locations. A few feet away from the ladder you used to enter the area is a short hallway.Head through the hallway with careto avoid triggering any of the traps.
At the end of the hallway, you’ll find a door to another room. This room is whereyou’ll find your donation. Head for the room, butwatch out for the pressure plates by the door. Once inside, you’ll find that the roomhas several chests. The chest with your donation is the largest one sitting directly across the room’s entrance.
you’re able to loot all the chests, but be warned! Simply taking an item from the chests will curse you witha ‘Castigated by Divinity’ condition. With this curse, you’llimmediately die if you fall unconscious, and an envoy of the deity you offended will rise from your corpse.You can avoid getting cursedby sending the items to your camp instead of picking them up.
Now you should have all your gold back and a free daily blessing from your deity, and they won’t have a clue that they’ve been duped!
