Evangel (Messenger Discipline)

Evangels are Messengers who are dedicated to delivering messages to humans or other elohim. The messages they deliver are not general, purely pragmatic messages. Specifically, Evangels deliver messages from the Most High intended to inspire. They might inspire hope, faith, encouragement, strengthening, belief, appropriate fear, or whatever the Most High wants the person to receive. 

• Increase Endurance, Resolve, & Passion of all within 7" equal to 1/7th of Evangel's Natural Passion (including the Evangel)

  • also Increase the Fortitude of any character who begins their Cycle within 7" of Evangel by this same amount (including the Evangel)

  • Increase lasts for up to 1 Hour after leaving 7" of Evangel

• -1 additional cost to improve all Social Skills

• in special cases Doubles Resolve, Passion, or both of specific Target(s) for 3 Days 

The mode Evangels use to deliver their messages varies. Sometimes they will manifest in the natural and appear directly to a person. Sometimes they will simply whisper to the spirit of an individual, which comes across similar to a thought that the person knows is not their own. Sometimes they will give a vision or a dream of specific and meaningful design. The mode is usually determined by the Most High, but occasionally the Evangel can use their own discretion in how they deliver the message. Evangels are master communicators and gain 2 Skill to all social Social Interactions. 

Evangels are very passionate and their Passion is encouraging to all who encounter them. Even the Evangel themself gets caught up in the excitement. Any ally who has come within 7” of an Evangel (including the Evangel himself) gains an Increase to their Endurance, Resolve, and Passion equal to 1/7th of the Evangel's Natural Passion value. This Increase lasts for one Hour after leaving that proximity. Whenever an ally begins a Cycle within 7” of the Evangel, this effect also Increases their Fortitude by that same amount for the Cycle. This Increase does not stack, applying only the strongest Increase while their Durations overlap.

Anyone to whom an Evangel has given a specific message from the Most High will have their Natural Endurance, Resolve, and/or Passion doubled depending on the nature of the message. This bonus lasts for 3 days. 

Being that Evangels function as direct representatives of the Most High, the only Weapon they will use is a Staff.
