Devotee

You are a follower of a religious movement, whether new or ancient. Your devotion to the faith is anything but casual, representing years of service and training as a disciple or for ordination. Your religion might be common or obscure, open or insular. Some traditions disparage science as an aberrant way of thinking, while others inflate scientific discoveries into eschatological dogmas.

What are the tenets of your movement? What pushed you out of a cloistered future and into adventure? As a voidrunner, do you seek to win converts to the cause, to fulfill a secret mission, or simply to do that which is kind and just?

Feature:
Convene the Flock

You can use your religious training to convene a spiritual space, such as to meditate, deliver a sermon, or discuss occult matters. When you do, determine the size and effectiveness of the gathering with a Wisdom or Charisma check using one of your devotee skill or tool proficiencies. In a public livestream or while in a city, capital ship, or other highly populated area, on a result other than a natural 1, you attract a crowd of people no smaller than your Charisma or Wisdom score (whichever is better).
Adventures and Advancement

Certain attendees of your flock might come to you in a moment of crisis, seeking help for spiritual matters, interpersonal problems, unexplained phenomena, or the like.

Solving these problems spreads word of your activities, which popularizes your outreach and mission, granting you a following of your own. You gain the free service of up to 4 devotees (use the stats for an acolyte ), and when you convene your flock the minimum size is multiplied by your character level.

Connection and Memento. Roll 1d10, choose, or make up your own.
