Rules Updates: Benediction, Detect Poison, Identify Compound

Benediction (Periodic)
This skill allows a character to perform a quick sermon to a small group of people baptized to a God in the same pantheon as the priest, or to the same God as the priest in the case of a neutral God. This sermon must last for one minute and every believer involved must devote her attention to it.  Every believer who participates (including the priest) will gain ten temporary Body Points.  These points are the first to be expended, and expire at the end of the next battle in which the character participates  A character may only benefit from this skill once per period.

Detect Poison (Continuous)
With this skill a character is able to determine if food, drink, or a weapon is poisoned. To use this skill, you must role-play studying the item for at least ten seconds, and have unrestricted access to the item in question. Once you have completed the observations, find a Rules Marshal to determine if the item is poisoned.

Identify Compound (Continuous)
A character with this skill is familiar with the basics of alchemy, and what goes into making compounds.  A character with this skill is capable of identifying any essence, as well as any alchemical compound that is in its unused state, with 10 seconds of study.  This skill will not identify compounds that have been used, such as poisons in food or on blades, or a gel that has been spread on an item or area.
