Basic Occult or Religious Influence allows a character contact with individuals who work within the world of the spiritual. Such institutions are the Catholic Church, organized cults and groups, as well as individuals with sway and influence over a flock of believers or worshipers.

Folk Religion

Folk Religion influence regards members of a community united by faith in a particular religion which is not the Catholic Church and contains occult elements, such as Santeria or Voodoo. Folk Religion Influence lowers the difficulty of Occult actions that regard this particular folk religion. When taking Folk Religion, please specify a niche (such as 'palero', 'voodoo', 'kabbalah').

Conspiracy Theorists

Ghost chasers, UFOlogists, Bigfoot hunters, and urban legend enthusiasts. Conspiracy Theorists Influence reflects a cultivated network among mortals who investigate and believe in the paranormal. Conspiracy Theorists Influence lowers the difficulty of influence actions that unambiguously regard the paranormal or supernatural. When taking dots of Conspiracy Theorists, please identify a particular niche, be such as a subject matter of interest (bigfoot, aliens, batboy).

The Catholic Church

Organized, hierarchal, and pervasive worldwide, it is the Catholic Church which poses perhaps the greatest potential threat to vampires. Catholic Church influence reflects a network cultivated among priests, deacons, bishops, and prominent pillars of the congregation. Catholic Church Influence lowers the difficulty of Occult actions that may be executed through worshippers and clergy or require the sign-off of the same.
