[Supers] Unwilling Religious Rank
Greetings, fellows.
I'm starting a new supers game, and a player has presented a question for his character. He wants to play an alien ambassador that has a "religious rank" among UFO cultists. The thing is, he wants nothing to do with it. How would you model this? |

Whether he wants it or not, he has it and that should be represented on his character sheet. It might be an advantage. Minions can be useful (even if you don't want them). |

Re: [Supers] Unwilling Religious Rank
Reputation: +X, all the time, "UFO cultists" (small group)
Quirk: Dislike ("UFO Cultists") His dislike is a minor thing, and the fact that they like him means that he has some influence over them. Rank would be more appropriate if there was a standing infrastructure that he was in command of, rather than a group simply predisposed to worship or follow him. |

Re: [Supers] Unwilling Religious Rank
Cosmic Fish has it right. They aren't an organized church with him at the head. They're just guys who really like him and every other alien...at least until they decide that he's one of the alien devils instead of one of the alien gods.

Re: [Supers] Unwilling Religious Rank
Thanks, guys. The Reputation bit is so simple that I feel a bit dense for not seeing it right off.
