I’m putting together a one-shot for Forge Midwest based on the German Peasants’ War. I wanted a more historical/less supernatural version of the Heretic Priest lifepath. I know I could just throw points at the character sheet, but making an appropriate lifepath seemed more fun. I’m trying to come up with a cool trait to replace the Faith mechanics that isn’t broken.
