Various subcults are associated with specific aspects of Orlanth (or whomever). To worship a different aspect of Orlanth through an 'inappropriate' subclt will case problems. I may have stated my answer poorly -- I think that the first subcult, whether or not it is 'inappropriate' is at 10% but we'll have to wait for Roderick to get back for a final-clarification as he's the final rules-arbiter.

30% for Aspect + Subcult IS the base worship -- and it includes the cost of Communal Worship. However, Rodrerick's stated that taking another aspect, is still going to be 20% (as its not your primary aspect and then another 10% for a subcult in THAT aspect...
...which comes to 30%. Just the same as dual inititation.

True. But he's a devotee? An initiate doesn't get it that sweet, I suspect.

The thing is: Its +20 for initiates to gain a subcult out of their aspect.
I'd have to check to see what Devotees get.

True but I think I'd rather go with some of the more or less firm categories we have with TR rather than 5% here, 5% there.
...it would look like my timesheet at work! (3.75 hours per week to Helemakt, 11.75 to Orlanth Adventurous.... And 3.75 to Torvald Meldekbane)
