You have spent your life joining every cult you can find. You act as an intermediary between all cults. You can perform almost any religious ritual and have mastered the art of sacrifice. Despite the many differing beliefs of cults you have managed to follow all of them.
Perhaps you can unite all the cults together or use your knowledge to create your own cult. Either way with all your connections there isn’t a religious group that doesn’t have you on some list. Some see you as a diplomat, others see you as a heretic. But you are able to blend in with any cult be they good, evil, or neutral.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Religion
- Languages: Celestial, Abyssal, Infernal.
- Equipment: A [Tooltip Not Found] (your collection), a cultionary (contains knowledge on every cult you have joined, 5 sticks of incense, vestments, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp.
As an cultist, you are able to gain access to everything the lowest ranking member of every cult has access too. You and your adventuring companions can expect to receive free healing and care at a temple, shrine, or other established presence of your faith, though you must provide any material components needed for spells. Those who share your religion will tell you information and can be easily persuaded into helping a fellow cultist (but only you).
Suggested Characteristics
You have taken on the characteristics of every cult you have joined. Making it very easy for people to identify you as a cultist of some kind. You have also been left with some weird things. You like cheese on all your food. You prefer to sleep with a goats head. You are afraid of nails.

Contacts
Every cult ever.
There will be new cults that you haven’t joined or heard about. You should join them.
You have to pick to only join Evil or Good cults.
Because of your focus on on alignment you will receive much more help from your chosen alignment cultists.
However every the opposite aligned cult will try to kill you if they find out who you are.
You have sinned in the eyes of every cult. They will all hate you and occasionally try to attack you.
However because of your life work of being hated by all cults you have gotten the attention of a very powerful being. The Anti-Deity. Due to their unwatchful gaze upon you, you are invisible to deities(demons, devils, gods, basically anything that is worshiped). Although the followers of deities can still see you.
The invisibility doesn’t make you impossible to notice. You just gain the invisibility trait from the perspective of deities. Deities with true sight can’t see you either.
