Editing Knowledge (heresy)

{{Feats
| Synonyms = Knowledge (occultism), Black Magic, Paganism
| Prowess? = No
| Archetype? = No
| Official? = Yes
| Description = 

The character has a comprehensive knowledge of heretical literature, practices and legends as well as foreign religions.

He may be an astute inquisitor who wants to know his enemies better or a character with dark origins.
He can recognise the intents of a heretical ritual and decipher any secret languages used by heretics. (Does not apply to encrypted text)

He have read all the classics of foreign religions in their source langage (Coran in Arabic, Torah in Hebrew etc…) and heretic branches of Christianism (Catharism, Zoroastrism etc…).
He also knows a lot about witchcraft, pagan rites and black magic.
He had access to unspeakable knowledge and read the most terrible manuals.

Unless the character also has « Lost Faith » he considers heresy as the highest treason a man can make to god and cannot be tempted or intimidated by it.

All characters with a specialised « Knowledge (something) » Feat are very literate. They are fluent in latin, greek and have at least some bases of a foreign language of their choice. They can read and write any languages they know.

If the character is attempting an action related to the general [[Knowledge]] Feat, he must roll a die six. With no possibility to roll again for this whole situation.

On a 1,2,3,4 this Feat has no effect.

On a 5 or 6 the character is considered to have the [[Knowledge]] Feat momentarily.

Advices on creating Feats :

A Feat is a massive advantage granted to the finest of the finest after a life of training. Most normal people don't have Feats at all.
A person with the Agile Feat, is qualified to be in the Olympics (not win, but at least participate)
A person with the Rich Feat is the richest man in his city.
Etc..

While creating a Feat, make sure with your Game Master that there is no other Feat that would be Synonym (e.g. would have the same final game effect). If yes, add it as a Synonym rather than create a new Feat.

For example, Courage is a synonym of Fanatism, not because they are the same concept, but because they have a similar in game effect.

And finally, make sure that the Feat is useful but not too useful, this depends on the scenarios and campaign you're playing.

Advices on creating Archetypes :

A typical archetype is either :
A disadvantage that grants two feats freely chosen.
or
Two Feats imposed by the Archetype and one Feat to be chosen in a list.
Or (more rarely)
One Feat imposed and two to be chosen in a list


Advices on creating Prowesses :

A Prowess can only be used once per scenario and allows the character to do a special action.

A Prowess is a type of non-visual spell. It is possible only if there is an explanation to the limit of the scientifically plausible and it is up to the player to justify it with the game master before using his prowess.

For example, it is humanly impossible to heal someone who has been decapitated, but it is not impossible to treat someone who's throat have been slit. It is very difficult, very rare, but scientifically plausible.

Like any Feats, a character can only take a Prowess once.
