Prayer timeout

Prayer timeout refers to how much time you need to wait before your god will accept another prayer. Nethack gods are often benevolent, but prefer if you wait some time between prayers. The initial value of your prayer timeout is usually between 300 and 500, and decreases by one each game turn. Note that if you are fast or very fast, you may move more than once per game turn, and your prayer timeout may appear longer because you take more actions in the same number of game turns. The exact amount by which your prayer timeout increases after praying is a complex mathematical function involving several random variables, causing the increase to range between about 50 and 1000.
