Chose you out of World (GLoG Class: Rogue)

 

By the fickle whims of that despot, Fate, I have been doomed to write a class about the French

Class: Huguenot 
Start with: Fine Clothes, 20 Pamphlets, a Sword

Excommunicat: You have been abandoned by mother church, the whore. You may, once per effect, try to dispel her superstitions: 4-in-6 chance for saintly miracles, 2-in-6 for arcane grammarye. God has chosen your fate, and none can alter it. If your fortune is told by magic, you receive one additional piece of information and an injunction by God. You have -2 reaction with Catholics, -5 with priests, and whenever you are reduced to 0 HP by any frenchman, one person watching holds Espirit for you.

Le Roi Huguet: You may call upon the ghosts of those who ought to be elect, but were denied beatitude by the church and lay now in infamous neglect. Each night, you may declare that the town in which you stay is in a ruckus: people waylaid by spirits in the streets, teapots smashed against walls, dreadful nightmares... Fellow Huguenots are unaffected, as are those in holy ground. Each night you do this in a week after the first, +1 in 6 chance townsfolk try to kill you all.

Destined: Your descendants will hold you in esteem, and you may command them as hirelings.

Conventicle: Those you travel with will not be noticed doing any of the following at night: going to the house of a huguenot, singing or praying loudly, posting seditious notices and pamphlets, gathering weapons, going to a brothel or tavern, starting fires.

Revered: On horseback, you may go faster than any military force, so long as there is a military force to go faster than.

Demonstrate: Against a Catholic, you may humiliate him instead of killing. This provokes morale from whatever group he is a part of:

  • The first time
  • When you humiliate a military leader
  • When you humiliate a cleric
  • When you humiliate a quarter of the group
  • When you humiliate half the group
If they fail morale, they lose faith that this is the will of God and disperse. If this happens, each Catholic you humiliated loses half their sway (if they have any) and swears enmity against all Huguenots and you specifically. If their group does not lose morale because of humiliation, they instead go home slightly embarassed and unlikely to bother you again.
