Cult Point Introduction
What are Cult Points?
Well, young disciple, I’m glad you asked!
After being converted to the Cult, you receive a set number of Cult Points based on the class you were converted from. These can be found just below your Class Card in the Class Card Thread.
Wowee, Mithras is great! How do I spend these points?
At any time (Day, night, on trial, whenever!) via your Class Card DM you may spend your cult points into new abilities.
You can take ANY ability you had from the class you previously were! The only exception to this rule are Cult Alts which will be explained in the next section.
Let’s use The Observer for our first example.
The Observer
Blue Dragon Investigative
Little Bird (Day) - Send a bird to watch if a player leaves their room that night. You will be told if they did or not the next morning. - Infinite uses
Follow (Night) - Watch someone to see who visits them and who they visit. - Infinite uses
Window Peek (Night) - Discover a player’s faction. - 2 uses
Your objective is to defeat the Unseen or Cult, and any neutrals that seek to do you harm.
Converts into The Nightwatch or The Seeker
Cult points: 2
Looking at this card, you would notice that the Observer converts into The Seeker.
Since each ability costs 1, you can obtain two abilities with your Cult Points.
However, you may only have a maximum of 2 of each ability type maximum. (Night, Day, Passive) This includes your new abilities as a Seeker!
Seeing as Seeker already has a day and a night ability, you may only have one more of each type!
This leaves you with the following options for Cult Point Abilities.
Window Peek + Little Bird
Follow + Little Bird
You can just obtain either of these pairs whenever you wish!
Holy Corax Batman! Now what’s a Cult Alt?
Some abilities would be either too dang strong or too dang useless to have on a member of the cult! How do we resolve this problem? Cult Alts!
If an ability has a cult alt, you may not purchase the ability it’s an alt of! That’s right, No Cold Steel on a cultist! But you are instead given the option to take it’s Cult Alt.
Let’s look at another example. This time, the Knight!
The Knight
Blue Dragon Killer
Sacrifice (Night) - You will guard the target player tonight, giving your life to kill their attacker(s). - Infinite uses
Cold Steel (Night) - Choose a player to attack. If they are a member of the Blue Dragon, you will instead take your own life. - Infinite uses
Your objective is to defeat the Unseen or Cult, and any neutrals that seek to do you harm.
Converts into The Enforcer or The Invoker
Cult points: 2 - Each ability costs: 1
Cult Alt:
(Cold Steel): Lone Cultist (Night) - You decide to kill someone without the Cult Leader’s order. you select someone to kill and commit suicide if you succeed. (The CL cannot target you for blood of Mithras when you use this) - Infinite uses
Simple! Only one pair of abilities, right? Cold Steel + Sacrifice?
Wrong! As Cold Steel has a Cult Alt, you cannot take it. You have the option to take Lone Cultist, its alt, instead!
Since you can only have 2 Maximum of each ability type, you can only take one of Lone Cultist OR Sacrifice.
