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.
