True Faith of alternate faiths/philosophies?

[bitterpill]

You could play a true believer in shared humanism,or a true believer in the big sheep in the sky, I think the swords are so powerful because they act as a focus for the belief of the many in the White God. You could play a beliver in the spirit of man and have his symbol of faith being a machine  gun.

True faith in Nietzsche-ian ideals. Just remember to take immunity to true faith powers [-3] because god is dead.

This actually reminded me of Jessica Sorrow, the Unbeliever from the Nightside books. She endured a trauma so intense that, at some point, she literally stopped believing in the real world. So strong is this unbelief that it can pretty much delete people. And places. And things. She's basically a force of nature nowadays. Or unnature, depending on who you ask.

Would be interesting to have someone like that running around.

Someone posted a "Dream or Reality" power to this thread awhile back:

Could be a good start for statting out such a character?

And now, for some strange reason, I have the mental image of someone bearing a Sword of the Cross-type item of power of some poorly-understood, but active faith (like, say, Wicca), granting an immense power boost to the wielder, but subtracting a hefty control penalty due to the somewhat... unfocused faith popping around...

Moonsoaked Oaken Staff +2 Obvious Item of Power
-4  Magic Wicca Magic (rather than just Wicca Magic)
+4 Wicca Offensive Power

-2 Refresh

Heh.  So much for "an it harm none"!

...
+4 Offense Wicca Magic
...

[Sanctaphrax]

Does "+4 Offensive Wicca Magic" mean that the staff is a focus providing +4 offensive power to Wicca magic?

[bitterpill]

Yes it does. Typical I make up an entire item of power as a joke and i Miss-spell the punch line.
