As far as i know, you dont have to pray about neither ... its only one of several options ... for people who want to play it this way ... the best you can do, if you dont want to play this way, is to avoid them completely. laugh

I will give one answer to this question, which I think is the most valid answer to this question. What if it's your first playthrough, and thus you potentially have to choose options like those in order to get context for what's going on. Say if you choose to be a cleric of Shar on your first playthrough, so you don't really know that much about Shar and you don't have any other way of getting that information. Same with playing a Githyanki. I'm certain there will be a good chunk of players that want to play gith because of how cool they look. Which I feel demonstrates the game failing to provide our characters with ways to know what our character should know about the setting.
