My words were typed in haste. Let me try to clarify. I assumed that a feat listed in the book was pretty much a standard--that all initiates learned. What I meant by learn new feat, was to join another subcult or learn another part of their Gods myth from a priest. I would not allow them to improvise new ones other than the standard ones that they imrpovise. Perhaps I am ununclear about an affinity. Perhaps I relate them too closely to rune spells?

I am actually trying to limit initiates to a set slection of myths they are taught. Devotees could freely improvise beyond the feats listed in the cult write-up.

Actually Wulf, read the FAQ and you will see that
there is mention to a runelors equivalent that his
beyond the level of a devotee. Please check it out
before commenting.
