The Heretic Cabal is a cult of people who have willingly handed their minds over to Ural, and now work to spread his influence throughout the universe. You can find them on page 52 of character creation.
The faction opens up some of my favorite abilities that I've ever created. By the time I'm done overhauling the mage colleges, they should all have abilities that are at least as interesting as these. To begin, the entire mechanic is centered around vampirism:
From there, you can choose to specialize in a vampiric state: Either feral or Heightened.
Each has state has sub-abilities that make your character a killing machine, and for maximum carnage you can specialize in both. However, you will have to manage your HP wisely so not to fall out of your desired vampiric state or kill yourself outright.
Theory Arena
The fourth installment of Theory is still work in progress, but here is one thing that I think will make it useful even to those who care nothing for PVP combat.
I have added pre-calculated tables for the most common costs of experience in the game. Want to buy that next rank of the skill but don't want to do the math? That's okay, I've done it for you. Want to buy multiple ranks of a skill but don't want to go through the math to determine how much experience that would be in total? Look no further than the right section of the table. Each row includes the experience costs of the ranks before it. so if you wanted to buy the 4th rank of a 100xp skill that you have no ranks in, it would cost you 1,500xp. Man, that was easy.
Currently, the PDF also has a lot of in-depth discussion of strategy in all types of strategy games. This helps you narrow down your strategy and hone your mental skills for victory. This strategical advice is not limited the Theory either: it is presented as a broad, overarching guide to strategical thinking for all types of strategical thinkers.
Up and coming, the PDF will contain maps and game modes that will test your strategical thinking and planning and hopefully throw a few wrenches in your gears.
The document will likely be available next weekend, but keep an eye on the blog this weekend as more updates may squeeze their way out!
