 **'''[[Xom]]''' - Xom's piety fluctuation occurs 33% faster than normal, and it acts more often. Removing the amulet has no consequences.
 *[[Demigod]]s will "feel a surge of self-confidence" upon putting on an amulet of faith. This has no mechanical benefit, however.
 *[[Mummies]] already have innate faith, and receive no extra benefit from the amulet.

 Gods with powerful abilities and/or gifts, such as [[Nemelex]], will obviously see more benefit.
