Master Thief CHA question

[ChrisWentWhere]

Where it says:

"Requirements to Join
A potential Master Thief must be an initiate and be a master of five skills taught by the cult. The candidate is consecrated by the ring boss after passing a test abstracted as rolling their CHA×5 or less on D100. For each 100 L donated to the cult, +1% is added to their chances for success. If they fail to be accepted, the candidate may try again after mastering another skill to 90%+."

Is that instead of needing a CHA 18 or in addition? 

Sorry if I have asked this before. I am very forgetful.

You're asking about the Master Thief, in which case it is as stated and CHA 18 is not a requirement. Passing the CHA x5% test is though, as are the skill masteries.

Note that with the Lanbril Rune Priest, the requirement is CHA 15+ (not 18).

I am - it is just that they are the Rune Lords of the cult. So I was not sure if they also had to have POW 18 (although that would be fairly straight forward with a POW of 18 plus whatever you donate...) I assumed what you said was the case but just wanted to check.

Cheers for the help!

That is typically a Rune Priest requirement. And in Lanbril's case, that is also explicitly noted as different.
