I think a lot of this is due to expectation. Since you get nothing back from choosing Initiate rather than Devotee during character creation, players may feel cheated having Improv Mods. We have up to 9 players (yes, far too many, but on other days we get just 4...), plus some of us have generated multiple characters. Of, say, 16 characters I can at least vaguely remember, maybe 5 or 6 are initiates (2 of them mine, unused so far, and both with two initiations), 2 are Shamans/Spirit Talkers (no Animists apart from them), the rest Devotees. I don't believe we have any Devotees with extra Initiation. Those currently running Initiates will, I think, generate Devotees next character.
