This would just reflect the difference in the divine ability through levels. |
I'm not sure level should mean anything. You are suggesting that level determines strength of faith, which isn't necessarily true. NPCs in the temples are surely very faithful and likely have some nice titles fitting important positions within their churches, but it has been said before that not necessarily all of them can raise the dead, which any mid-level PC Cleric can do.
More available and more powerful spells are not always a measure of faith. Would a pure Cleric of Branderback automatically be more faithful than a Cleric/Rogue, or a pure Cleric of Ilsare more faithful than a Cleric/Bard, or a pure Cleric of Vorax more faithful than a Cleric/Fighter, just because the pure Cleric would have more spells available at the same character level?
I don't think your example of how it could work is bad, but I do think equating level to strength of faith is the wrong way to go.
