A [[Ecclesiastic (bishop)]] gains both the Feat [[Reputation]] and [[Rich]].
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.
+
A [[Ecclesiastic (priest)]] gains the Feat [[Charismatic]].
  
For example, Courage is a synonym of Fanatism, not because they are the same concept, but because they have a similar in game effect.

}}
 
 
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.
 
 
 
Unlike normal Feats, a character can acquire the same Prowess several times.

Special: Archetype

Ecclesiastic is an Archetype, it is a special kind of Feat. A character can only have one Archetype in total. Apart from that, Archetypes are like normal Feats and may be taken at character creation or on any level up.
