| Description = 

You have been given a choice. Repent or burn. You chose the former.

A common misconception is that the inquisition's task was to burn heretics, in fact the inquisition consistently spared any heretics who agreed to confess and repent, only those who refused to repent (or even worse, who retracted) had to be burned to purify their souls. Burning at the stake was an act of mercy because fire was believed to purify the soul and send heretics to heaven.

You character have believed or was forced to follow a heretic cult. Most heresies were started by catholic priests or monks who had a particular vision of the faith, that was later on ruled as heretic by the church. (the entire Franciscan order for example was ruled as a heresy before being absolved shortly thereafter)
But the darkest heresies are secret organisations designed to trick the weak into serving the legions of hell.

Some of your brethren decided to live their faith until the end and you saw them burn, the others like you where spared.
Perhaps you even lead the inquisition to discover the cult when you realised it's true purpose.

Alternatively, you may have committed a severe crime against god and the church excommunicated you. You have decided to make penance.

Your repentance may or may no be sincere, depending if you took the Feat [[Lost Faith]].
Either way, the inquisition have mandated you to purge your sins by helping them for a given period of time. Part of your sentence is to use your knowledge about heresies to turn it against them.


As a Repented Heretic, the character gains the Feat [[Knowledge (heresy)]].

If his background justifies it, he also gains the [[⭐ Faith]] Feat.

Additionally, he gains one Feat of his choice in this list :
*[[Outlaw Wisdom]]
*[[Trickster]]
*[[Fanatic]]
*[[Charismatic]] (you where a heretic leader)
*[[Stealth]] 
*[[Reputation]]
*[[Well Connected]] (some former members of your cult are high ranking)
*[[Survival]]
*[[Manipulative]]
*[[Foreigner]]
*[[Knowledge (cryptography)]]
*[[Curse]] (witchcraft ?) (even if the character doesn't meet the prerequisites)
*[[Witchcraft]] (even if the character doesn't meet the prerequisites)
*[[Necromancy]] (even if the character doesn't meet the prerequisites)
*[[Handicap (lost faith)]] (your soul is still tainted by heresy)
*[[Handicap (insane)]] (the things you saw... the things you did !)

Unless his background justifies it, the character cannot take the [[Combat]], [[Strong]] or [[True Strike]] Feats.

Note that not all repented heretics have this feat and the character may de facto have been a member of a cult without having it.

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 :
One Feat imposed and two to be chosen in a list
or
A disadvantage that grants two feats freely chosen.

The goal of an Archetype is to guide a new player on how to create a very cool and coherent character.


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.

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