Cult of the devourer
Contents
Guild Info
Cult of the devourer is a collection of orcs, trolls, beholders, reeds and saerkas who still live by the rules of the old tribes and uphold their values. They are often very different from their normal city-dwelling brothers and sisters because of their deep connection to the old ways and traditions, which breeds totally different kind of people. One of the things that unites these tribal races is their ancient way of worshipping an abyssal demi-god, the Devourer. This worship usually involves a lot of fighting, drinking and eating.. and being a general nuisance to all other more moderate people.

Alestorm:
Cost: 1
Fighting is the core of your life and fighting drunk and chugging some ale while doing it just makes it even better.

Alcohol powers you and when you drink you can just kill anything in your sight.
Effects: Allows you to drink in combat and drinking alcohol gives bonus attacks. Stronger drinks increase the chance.
Armour of lard:

Effects: Halves bleed damage.
Bloodlust:
Cost: 1
Short temper is something of a racial trait to all tribal members. Certain invidiuals have even shorter fuse than others and can fly into rage from the smallest of things. Hitting those individuals in the face with a hammer is just asking for a trouble.

Effects: Increases damage with bludgeoning weapons.
Born to fight:
Cost: 2
While combat is very taxing for your body for most of people, for those that have been born to fight and have fought their whole life any combat is just a mere light practice and they can keep on smashing people's faces in a lot longer than anybody else.

Effects: Reduces ep cost of combat and gives physical infusion (10).
Chaotic mind:
Cost: 1

King alcohol:
Cost: 1
Alcohol is the king in your life and it is a great master. While it makes others puke and fall asleep in the gutters, it makes you the king of the world when you are drunk and more drunk the better.

Primitive superstition:
Cost: 3
Witch doctors, shamans and other spiritual leaders of the tribal devourer cults are often seen wearing various fetishes, charms and items of mumbo jumbo significance. They treat them like they hold great power, and indeed, many tribesmen fear and respect them for this primitive behaviour. Over time, this irrational surplus of reverence and fear has empowered the charm collections worn by these primitive wise ones to hold just that superstitious power. That, or the regular living blood sacrifices for the demon.
Effects: Charm collections count as you having one extra charm of each type that is in the collection.
