As I understand it, a Theist initiate gets the affinities of their god, and can improvise those feats particular to that god. As they can also improvise any other feats based on those affinities, I assume they get less of a penalty for the appropriate feats (so it is easier for an Initiate of Orlanth Adventurous to perform the Leaping Shield feat than a Humakti, but the Humakt initiate will find the Shield Destroyer Feat).
A devotee of a God gets those gods feats at the score of the affinity, and can (presumably) still improvise other feats as before. All the feats related to one affinity are performed at the same level of ability.
What about any feats the character may have gained through other means (see my other post with Snerri's character for an example of this). Presumably any character granted the feat does not need to improvise it, even if they are not a devotee. This is not a problem if the feat is unrelated to the characters god (since he won't be gaining the feats from anywhere else) - What if a character gains one of his gods feats "early" so to speak?
Also, could a character "specialise" in one the feats within an affinity, and get a bonus to perform that particular feat?
