This spell exactly duplicates the effects of a chant with regard to bonuses of +1 for friendly attacks and saving throws and -1 on like enemy dice.

However, once the prayer is uttered, the cleric can do other things, unlike a chant which he or she must continue to make the spell effective.

The cleric needs a silver holy symbol, prayer beads, or a similar device as the material component of this spell.

If a prayer spell is uttered while another cleric of the same deity is chanting, the effect of the two spells are cumulative, i.e. + 2 for friendly creatures, -2 for foes. Note that the two spells must be cast by clerics of the same religious persuasion, not merely the same general alignment, and that the chant must be in progress while the prayer is said.

Important Note Regarding "To Hit" Adjustments: DMG p.70. Certain spells such as curse, prayer, and protection from evil adjust the chance “to hit” of either the attack or the defender or both. Such changes must be made to the armor class of the figure concerned, not to the dice score rolled in attacking. Example. A reverse bless, a curse, is cast upon opponents. Therefore, the effective armor class of the side which cast the spell will be raised by one category, so that a figure normally of armor class 4 will be treated as 3, 3 as 2, etc. By so doing it is still possible for opponents to roll natural 20s and thus score hits.
