MacDhomnuill Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 New to Mythras but old hat for BRP in general, I’m looking for guidance on how you determine a theists cult rank level. I can’t seem to find anything in the main rules book and I was just curious if there are rules on this or if it’s just something we can call setting dependent.

Raleel Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Like the discussion in the ranks chapter that talks about specific skill,feels, or more like what powers to get at what rank like in the examples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDhomnuill Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Im trying to figure out how to determine the cult rank as it relates to spell casting in the theist magic section. Specifically I don’t know whether they’re an initiate, acolyte, priest, or high priest. My assumption was it would be related to the devotion skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raleel Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That’s the standard progression in the cult section. Also check out the Myceros Examples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for cult members: Most theists are Lay Members, very loosely belonging to a cult. Initiates have dedicated themselves to a cult in a binding way. Acolytes are people who work for the cult and are the lowest rank of cult leaders. Priests are the leaders of a cult, dedicated to the well-being of the cult. High Priests lead the temple and are the heads of the cult in the area. So, look at an NPC and decide what kind of worshipper they are. Most will be Lay Members or Initiates. If you don't have Lay Members, or don't count them as cult members, then the NPC is likely to be an Initiate. If the NPC is a cult leader, but not that skilled, they could be an Acolyte. If they are experienced with high cult skills then they could be a Priest. They would only be a High Priest under unusual circumstances. Starting Adventurers (PCs) might be lay Members or Initiates. They can progress to become acolytes, Priests and High Priests as they gain more experience and skills. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
