Doctrinal Tenets - UNCOMMON

Champions are usually restricted to gods that allow for sanctification; but some gods either do not wish to join the holy war, or they have special areas of interest that they wish to empower a champion's cause to address. To allow this these deities grant their authority to doctrinal tenets, which have a much more narrow scope than the traditional tenets of good or evil.
All doctrinal tenets are UNCOMMON, and require GM approval. They will have Causes associated to them that hew closer to that gods personal area of interest.
Specifics on how to adjudicate each of these tenets and any existing feats that have a prerequisite of the tenets of good or evil are detailed in each tenets entry.

Tenets and Causes

Below are doctrinal tenets and causes for specific gods

Kelemvor

Tenet of Repose

Those that follow the tenet of repose are sanctified as holy against any creature with the UNDEAD trait.
Start your champion tenets with the following:

• You must never perform acts anathema to your deity, nor knowingly give aid or succor to an undead creature or a necromancer, nor cast a spell that creates, empowers, heals, or controls any undead
• Eradicate necromantic practices, along with anyone who propagates the existence of the undead.

Tenet prerequisite feats - Those that follow the tenet of repose may select feats that have a prerequisite of Tenet of Good with the following modifcation; any feat that mentions affecting another creature in an offensive way only affects creatures with the UNDEAD trait, as those that follow this tenet are only sanctified against them.

Cause - Doomguide

Prerequisite - Tenet of Repose
Doomguides are an order of Champions and other specialized devotees who serve the God of the Dead, Kelemvor. They lend their aid to the people of Faerûn by helping them with their fears of death and uncertainty about the afterlife. They engross themselves in everything surrounding the blasphemous state that is undeath, in order to better root out all forms of necromancy and destroy all manner of their undead servitors and bring a measure of peace to the world.
After the tenets of repose, add these tenets:

• Death is the great equalizer, there for treat both prince and pauper with the same deference and respect
• Travel far and wide, spread knowledge regarding the afterlife and share with mortals what they will face after death.
