New Technique of the Week: an ongoing thread

[johndallman]

Exorcism (Religious Ritual -3, Ritual Magic -3, or Theology -3). Hard, default prerequisite, cannot exceed prerequisite +6.

This was suggested by Phil Masters: rather than Exorcism being a skill in its own right, it's a technique for the skills that people who could plausibly drive out spirits are likely to have. Methods based on the three prerequisite skills are likely to be significantly different.

Edit: the default penalties could plausibly vary by religion. A church with a stress on ritual and abstract theology might use Religious Ritual -2 and Theology -4; one with minimal rituals and theology full of information about demons might use Religious Ritual -5 and Theology -1.
