Right now, the only things people who focus on piety can do are basic blessings, increase their own, and teleport home... not very fitting for a priest-focused character. I propose a wide array of new actions, and requirements to use them. To use any piety skill lisited, which would all be unlocked at around lv90 piety, you would need to have a postive alignment of at least 10 or greater. The higher alignment you have, the more potent blessings and such would be. The new actions are as follows:
Marriages - Mostly for RP, but both players might receive some small benefit, like an increase to luck or something?
Hold Mass - Would require a church to be built, a new type of structure which would look like... erm a church. A player with 90 piety could interact with the church to hold mass, there would be a 2-3 minute timer, and anyone within the church when the timer ended would gain buff to luck, regenerate all soft/hard stamina and soft health, and gain 1 alignment. Players would only be able to recieve this blessing once per in-game day.
Confession - Gives 2 alignment points to a orange-name alignment player. Does not work on red name (evil), white name (neutral), or green name (good) characters.
Pope/Cardinals only skill:
Excommunication - Can be used ONCE per in-game month to avoid abuse. Target suffers a large alignment hit and cannot benefit from blessings for 72 hours.

0At 30 piety, maybe people need to choose a god to worship.
This could add a lot to RP in game and also give another way to justify attack without alignment hits.
Agree with the church and a resident minister needs to use this as a bond respawn point.
Also churches/taverns/Inns etc in the MMO will be able to be on "personal claims" so no decay...so having a type of claim needs to be done for the YO version of the game. Why not no decay in a building for 72hrs if a person respawns to it. this way if they go away a long time it will start to decay, during the decay a new person can walk in and take over the abandoned business/church. This adds a lot ot the woodsmans hut or the hermit or the hunting cabin concept as well.
When churches are built they need to be attached to a god/religion. -

I think this part is overpowered, except if the one is a evil character.
Instead of a alignment hit, he could offer an unlucky "bonus". (All his actions take more time) and he could not be blessed for 72 hours.
Then, we can think about a redemption system.
