SPAMHERETIC! Gustav Vivaldar and Cuneiformism heresy!
« on: April 30, 2017, 01:12:46 pm »

First of all, please give your name: _____

Secondly, pick a properly heretical nickname, epithet or title: _____

Thirdly, pick a setting of the world you live in:

Feudal/1100s: Lords and warlords rule with iron-fist over commoners, fat clergymen preach asceticism while swimming in riches.
Renaissance/1400s: Great thinkers move the world forward while extremely influential priesthood hunts down heretics to burn them on stakes.
Musket/1700s: Sciences replace alchemy and occultism, gunpowder reigns supreme and religion slowly loses in importance - and then you show up.

Then pick your Major (+2) and Minor (+1) skills (can't be the same) from the ones listed below:

1A) Prophecies: ability to discern future events from signs and omens.
1B) Miracles: ability to bend the forces of nature to your will.
1C) Charisma: ability to befriend and influence common people with your speeches.
1D) Philosophy: ability to debate with influential people about things.
1E) Theology: ability to point out mistakes in the scriptures of other faiths.
1F) Combat: ability to punch people's faces in when all other options fail.

The decision to become preacher of the heresy came up in your heart and mind because...

2A) You've read the holy books many times and came to a simple conclusion: they're full of crap!
2B) One night a holy being appeared in your dream, granting you power to deal with the corrupt faith.
2C) You read your own fortune, and the arcane items placed you, out of all the people, at the steer of Ship of Faith.

Before you were 'enlightened', you were living as a...

3A) Commoner, toiling everyday with your fellow, hard-working commoners.
3B) Scribe, working at a local temple, scribbling down sermons and copying holy texts.
3C) Astrologer, telling people things about their future which you've read from heavenly omens and phenomenons.
3D) Merchant, often selling items to influential noblemen, clergy and scholars.
3E) Philosopher, debating the nature of the world and universe with passerbies and scholars alike.
3F) Nobleman, feasting upon grapes of luxury, reclining in your opulent recliner.
3G) Officer, a minor one at that, relaying orders of your superiors to the lesser ranks of the local garrison.

Your heresy is based upon...

4A) Irreconcilable discrepancies with the local religion.
4B) Ancient, mystical cult that once was widely spread amongst locals before the current faith replaced it.
4C) Extreme desire to topple the current, corrupt church and upon its ashes, rebuild the faith in a way it always should've been!
4D) Work of an earlier heretic, who got lots of attention but ultimately ended roasted on a stake along with his comrades.
4E) Synergy of local and foreign faiths, brought to you by merchants and other travelers.

THE CHOOSEN ONE IS:
Name: Gusvald Vivaldar
Title: The Secret Keeper.
Setting: Feudal.
Major: 1B Miracles.
Minor: 1D Philosophy
Why?: 2B A holy being.
Used to be A: 3E Philosopher
Heresy!!!: 4B A Ancient, Mystical Cult!

I couldn't help noticing that with the right choices we can get +5 to miracles, is that correct?

Wow, all those votes! O_O
Let's see...


> Feudal/1100s: Lords and warlords rule with iron-fist over commoners, fat clergymen preach asceticism while swimming in riches.
> Mysterious naming/title system that makes us seem like an entity instead of a persona...
> +2 Miracles; +1 Philosophy
> +2 Miracles
> +1 Philosophy
> +1 to Miracles/Philosophy

Well. +5 to Miracles / +3 Philosophy.
You're gonna have a fun time with 1d6, Haspen :3 I'd suggest moving up to 1d10 with the system of 1/10 being 1/6, and 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 being from 2-5 in original values. :p
But that'd be silly. Because at best we're rolling 6-11 here on a 1d6 scale.

Hopefully we don't have a sanity bar.

Also +1 to the suggestion if it wasn't clear.
