HereticConviction |
|---|
| Devotion to the corruption and taint of the warp through total submission to the basest and darkest impulses of the soul or constant worship of the ancient gods of the Immaterium. |
Heretic is one of the Convictions in the world of Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Convictions are both the moral compass and the sum of choices your Characters make during your playthrough, advancing through their ranks provides mechanical bonuses as well as affecting how the story develops. Being a Heretic character means that you discarded the values of the imperium of mankind, be it by choice or by corruption, and now make use of the dark powers of the Warp to advance your plans. Be careful with this path, as the Inquisition will not react favourably in the story to this.
Rogue Trader Heretic Information
Beyond the realm of compassion and selfless service to something greater, holier than one’s self lies that of self-interest, devotion to things darker and more malevolent, and a belief in what amounts to poison to one’s very soul. In this grim millennium where the worship of dark gods rips through the material world and belief in nothing but one’s own self-interest runs rampant, there are an increasing number of selfish people who would see themselves rise at the expense of all else. Whether by abusing the corrupting influence of the warp, worshipping foul entities or engaging in whatever base, dark impulses lie within the human heart.
That is what it means to follow in the footsteps of the Heretical school of thought. And treading down this path often provides the follower with greater boons.
