Thanks to whitebull campaign, I start to understand the future rules of heroquestiong and I think the episode 29 "propose" very nice rules, by the way(of course that s just an overview and some points need to be defined, but it is great.).
The question I have is both rp/gp and is about the knowledge characters try to obtain before heroquest (to know what to do in a particular set of circumstances).
I think that to check if the character knows something, we have to do a roll under the right cult lore.
That is nice for an orlanthi (cultist of Orlanth) being Orlanth to roll under Orlanth cult lore.
But now.. What about a non orlanthi being Orlanth ?
Let say we have an Issaries cultist who wants (or has to) become Orlanth
I see several options but I would like to know your perspective (and maybe the forthcoming official rules about that, if it is already defined)
- our guy rolls against its own cult lore (Issaries), with malus (-10/20 if the god is associated in the quest, -30/-40 if not ?)
- our guy has access to the other gods cult lore of his god's pantheon (as lay member), so he can learn the right cult lore (Orlanth) like any orlanth cultist. => Being Orlanth must need to roll against Orlanth cult lore
- our guy reads and has access to many documents in great libraries (Nochet, Boldhome, Jonstown, Glamour ....) so he can pursue his own research and learn the right cult lore (Orlanth)=> Being Orlanth must need to roll against Orlanth cult lore
- some other options, or maybe, not use cult lore skill but other ?
