Re: Devotee access to feats

The way I play it:

• Devotees can learn any feats or affinities from subcults of the same aspect as the one they worship
• If the feats are based on an affinity they already have, they can use their score in that affinity. Otherwise they're ordinary abilities starting at 13
• If they can't find someone to teach them (i.e. guide them through the Heroquest of the myth in which their God did the thing the feat's based on) they can make a direct appeal to their God to reveal the secret of the feat
• Initiates can sign up for other subcults affinities as well, but they're less likely to be able to convince someone to teach them or talk to their deities to get it first hand. They can also gain feats, but these are always individual abilities and never based on their affinities
• If you want to initiate to the Great God himself, you're a nutter

Cheers,

Ash
