Eldritch Cultist
You spent part of your life in a cult dedicated to a Great Old One, an ancient horror, or some other being of considerable power. You’ve seen the fervent devotion of a dark cult to such creatures, seen or participated in rituals, and glimpsed power from beyond normal mortal comprehension. The time spent among these cultists has lingered with you to this day.
Features
Stalked from Darkness
The echoes of your time in the cult haunt your steps. Those who might intimidate, belittle, or waylay you see something flicker behind your eyes—something terrible. Creatures who don’t need to pick a fight with you find something better to do rather quickly. You find this talent useful for avoiding unpleasant scuffles or traveling unmolested, even into areas others find difficult to access.Suggested Characteristics
An eldritch cultist might be a former or current member of a sect devoted to some dark power. They may be fearful or intrigued by the entity the cult sought to contact. Some cultists are erudite, obsessed with finding further lore about the cult’s beloved entity or others like it. While the sight of eldritch powers inspires fear or worship in some, in others it can spark righteous defiance.
