| Description =
You have been given a choice. Repent Either 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.
But the darkest heresies are secret organisations designed to trick the weak into serving the legions of hell.
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 not 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. (or potentially [[⛧ Dark Faith]] if he has [[Handicap (lost faith)]])
Additionally, he gains one Feat of his choice in this list :
*[[Outlaw Wisdom]]
*[[Trickster]]
*[[Fanatic]]
*[[Charismatic]] (you were a heretic leader)
*[[Stealth]]
*[[Reputation]]
*[[Well Connected]] (some former members of your cult are high ranked)
*[[Survival]]
*[[Manipulative]]
*[[Foreigner]]
*[[Knowledge (cryptography)]]
*[[Background]]
*[[Magic Tricks]]
*[[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.
