Hellfire6a Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 RQG p274 makes it pretty clear that you can only be an initiate or higher in a single cult. However the Character Sheet has a place for a second cult. The rules also talk about sacrificing POW for rune points in multiple cults. Can you be an initiate in multiple cults at once without having a Spirit of Retribution hunting you down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read p275 to have the answer 🙂 Quote Membership in Multiple Cults It is possible for an adventurer to be an initiate of more than one cult. They must pass the appropriate tests, and this always requires that the cults be compatible. They must also tithe to each temple, and perform properly and completely all duties and responsibilities to each temple  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adventurers may join a second cult, provided the cults are compatible (see  Membership in Multiple Cults, page 375). 10 hours ago, Hellfire6a said: However the Character Sheet has a place for a second cult. Yes 10 hours ago, Hellfire6a said: you be an initiate in multiple cults at once without having a Spirit of Retribution hunting you down? Yes, but usually two is a maximum. There's one example in our publications: GM Screen Pack, Sora Goodseller, Priestess of Issaries, Initiate of Yelmalio, page 28  1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire6a Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Thanks for the clarification! That's what I thought but when I read the paragraph under Initiates on page 274 the wording left me thinking I could only be an initiate of one cult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterinspace Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 There are still some restrictions on what cults someone can dual initiate into, adjudicated with the cult compatibility table. It’s not super common, but it’s not necessarily uncommon either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHibbs Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 p.274: Quote Initiation into a cult is a serious step, for individuals thereby pledge themselves to the focus of a single divine entity... Yeah, I can see how that heavily implies "only one". It is a little over-stated in that sentence. What it means is, rather than being a worshipper of a general pantheon and going along to the appropriate ceremonies most of the time, you choose a deity in that pantheon. As it says on the next page, some people choose two rather than just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
