Yes. Usually a -3. They can never learn the 'tricks' of Feats.

No. Feats can never be learned individually like that. You know it or you don't. A few folks here think that you should be able to get very good with a specific feat but that's not the standard ruleset.

Er. No. I suggest re-reading the section of Subcults. However, you get the subcult's affinity as an addition to the base two provided by the aspect. The subcult is the 'face' of the aspect you find attractive. Just as an aspect is the facet of the Great God you find most suited.

You don't GET it again as Destor. If you look at the Affinity as printed in the book it says 'Movement FEATS' not 'AFFINITY. These are additional feats that Destori _devotees_ of Orlanth A get and that Niskis, Finovani and all the OTHER subcults of Orlanth A DO NOT get. But conversely, a Niskiss devotee of Orlanth A gets the highly useful 'leap through window' feat for his Movement affinity.
Naturally, a devotee could and would improvise other feats, adding them to his repitoire. And, I'll admit that looking at the other subcults for 'cool feats' is a perfectly valid thing to do. (Heck, I do it myself)
Hope this helps?
