Faith House Rules

Overview¶

Faith Powers are now independent of a character's fate points and use their own resource pool called Faith.

A character's maximum Faith is equal to their WPB*2.
Faith regenerates at a rate of their WPB/24 h, unmodified by unnaturals and independent of rest or other factors.
New Faith talents may be bought any time as soon as the Pure Faith talent is unlocked, which costs 500 XP once (was 400 XP).
Upon acquiring Pure Faith the character must immediately choose a specialization for one of the three Faith Power categories: Emperor's Sign, Emperor's Mercy, Emperor's Wrath. This specialization reduces the cost of acquiring a Faith Power of the matching category by 50 XP.
Faith Powers are organized into four tiers, which determine their cost of acquisition (see table). Details on each individual Faith Power are found below.

Tier	XP Cost	Powers in this category
I	200 XP	10
II	250 XP	13
III	400 XP	9
IV	700 XP	4

Some Faith Powers can cost permanent Faith. Permanent Faith may be bought back at a rate of 150 XP per Faith.
Unlocking Pure Faith also grants the Talent Divine Meditation: The faithful may perform a Very Hard (+60) Willpower test, which is easier by 20 for each day since the last use of Divine Meditation. Each Degree of Success restores 2 Faith. Performing a Divine Meditation requires 15 minutes of peace and quiet.
