Feature

Agent of Faith

This means that you are feared and sometimes hated, but also you are the first to being called when necessity arises. When you are in an official investigation, you gain advantage in intimidation attempts with commoners, but also they can riot agaist you, specially if you seem weak in places where your organization is feared or hated. Common people will equally support your efforts, and claim for results. Yet, you cannot surpass the regulations of the community, or being accused and prosecuted by your former companions and bosses.
