If religious

[Sanglaine]

What exactly does this mean? I thought it meant it had x effect when someone was god fearing, but it doesn't seem to do any additional heal/stress relief so to say when I used chant on someone who was god fearing. Am I missing something? Is it only certain classes like crusader/vestel?

[Arcangelo]

I thought it had effect on God Fearing heroes... Seems like it works only on Vestals and Crusaders, then.

[Eldritchness]

Yeah, it only affects Crusaders and Vestals because of their holy background/personality; the God Fearing quirk has nothing to do with it. It's a pretty useless camp skill unless you bring only Crusaders and Vestals and, still, it's not that great in my opinion.

[Sanglaine]

Well that explains it. Oh well.

[algothi]

There are some camping abilities that only affect Religious heroes. Id would be neat if there were opposite ones, I doubt a Vestal or Crusader would be pleased to receive dark blessings from an Occultist.

[mcnostril]

I'm surprised it's not affected by quirks like God Fearing or something like Witness so you'd have some extra consideration for using the skill.

[Istvan]

Lepers are also religious. Supposedly there's a list of always religious classes, never religious classes, and quirk dependent religious classes (this last of which would be affected by things like God Fearing), but I haven't observed this in practice.

[Eldritchness]

Oh, Lepers too? Nice, didn't know about that.

If a character is religous, that character will not give characters that are not religous a licence to group together in a dungeon party together. This is especially true in dungeons located in Kentucky.

I was camping with a vestal and a houndmaster. The houndmaster had the god fearing quirk locked in. I used the vestal's chant skill on the houndmaster and only got the non-religious effects. I checked through both character's other quirks and didn't see anything that looked like it could effect religious-ness. Is this a bug?

It's not a bug per say, just something they didn't think through. I have a feeling it will be fixed one way or the other soon enough though.

No, at the moment quirks don't affect the "Religious Feature".
Only Crusaders, Lepers and Vestals are Religious and benefit from "Religious" Camping Skills.

[Madmax]

Religious characters are the Vestal, Leper, and Crusader. Thus, only these three heroes get the 'religious' bonus (and only these three heroes refuse to run with Abominations). Quirks have nothing to do with it.

[Sanglaine]

Yeah they ditched the idea of retroactivity on 'if religious' and just made it affect those three chars, but never changed the text to be clearer. So like Madmax and arcangelo say, only Leper, Crusader and Vestal get any benefit.

[Arcangelo]

They should put a simple "Religious" tooltip near Vestal, Leper and Crusader portraits, for those who are new to the game.

Also, many players suggested that Quirks should affect the "Religious" feature.
In addition, I think that Religious characters should benefit more from the Church while Non-Religious ones should benefit more from the Tavern, just to balance the two buildings.
As it is now, using the Tavern is riskier.
