Character Creation

The rules for harvesting Faith are described starting on page 249. The section about "Offered Faith" on page 250 goes into detail about Faith provided through Pacts. Once a Pact has been established, the demon is able to harvest Faith every day, at the break of dawn. Distance has no impact on this process. If the demon and Thrall are in different time zones, the Faith is generated when dawn arrives for the mortal.

Thralls don't have a Faith rating, but they do have a Faith Potential. For the average person, it's at a 2. Demons can typically harvest up to half of the Thrall's Faith Potential. That means most demons get a single point of Faith each day, per Thrall.

(Tequila has also graciously allowed me to use the thrall-crafting rules detailed in Damned and Deceived, which go a bit more into faith, so you could technically have a thrall who you get two or even three faith from per day, but it would come at a cost of making them a lot less useful and not very reliable. I think it's more fun to have a thrall that can turn into a big angry guy ngl)

I have not done my thralls yet but otherwise I'm ready to go.

Edit: They are also less likely to come into play, since my character is all about self-reliance and survival and that reflects in the Thralls he would have.

I am nowhere near that unfortunately. Instead I am questioning most of my mortal background story.

My hope is to try to get the game started sometime next week. Probably by Friday.

I haven't detailed my Pacts/Thralls either, but I Believe I have all the mechanical stuff done.

About half of the characters have been submitted. Since it’s been over three weeks, I’m gonna set a deadline for character submissions. If you have yet to do so, please turn in your character by Tuesday the 12th of September. Let me know if you have questions or need any help.

Yea, I spent a good deal of time looking at the Ars Goetia - Lesser Key of Solomon list of Dukes/Marquis/Kings etc., picking out sounds and "feels" that I liked to get to the one I had. Will do the same to develop the new one.

Deadlines are good. I'll end up shuffling two points around my sheet endlessly as I weigh stupid little options to fine tune choices that may or may not even matter.

I have a name though, and figured out my sources of faith. I just need to pull the trigger and click on submit.

I'll finish my character before the weekend is up.

I didn't make it yet and I think I won't - if I am the last one y'all wait for, then please don't. I wish you a lot of fun and hope you'll have a great story to tell.

No worries. Thanks for letting me know.

Submitted. I think I got everything. Let me know what I missed if there's anything.

Thanks MaJunior. I just need a couple days to go over all the characters and write up a post. I should have the first post up for the game on Thursday.

Sorry everybody. I’ve been working double shifts the last few days, so I haven’t had time to sit down and write. I plan to try and get the first post for the game done tomorrow.
