Editing FANGS: Appendix D - Priest (section)

===The Follower -- First Circle ===

Becoming a follower of a Presence is to join the First Circle. The applicant first has to find a church to accept him (most will.) A full Priest performs a ceremony over him and the new follower loses 1 PW (this can also be bought during character development as an Advantage of 5 points). 

The benefits of being a follower of a Presence is that you have the sanctuary and training in the Presence's church, and can, in dire need, call on the Presence for assistance (which may or may not be granted.) A follower may be a devotee of several Presences if the Presences allow it, but each would require a sacrifice of 1 PW. Followers are expected to tithe 10% of their earnings and/or services to their church. Followers of multiple gods are expected to tithe 10% of their earnings to each church. 

Followers do not gain magical powers other then their connection to the Presence, however, the training available to followers can be quite valuable, including literacy, various forms of combat, etc. depending on the church. 

A follower may also be required by some churches to take a Vow.
