Product Description:

The Neophyte is a humble and modest individual with little business on the battlefield. Though inexperienced and often terrified at the thought of combat, these devout warriors of the Hundred Kingdoms still play a crucial role in the military structure. Serving primarily as spiritual guides for the troops, the Neophyte provides comfort and a sense of faith to the soldiers around him. His most important duties include offering final rites and helping the warriors by shriving their sins before the battle, ensuring their spiritual readiness in the eyes of the Theist Gods.

While the Neophyte does not contribute directly to the battlefield’s combat effectiveness, his mere presence is a powerful symbol of faith and devotion, marking the troops as loyal and pious in the eyes of their leaders and the gods they serve. His role is one of support and guidance, reminding soldiers of their duty to both their king and their faith.

How They Play:

• Spiritual Support: The Neophyte serves as a spiritual officer who provides moral and religious support to the troops. His role isn’t to lead in combat, but to enhance the spiritual readiness of the army and ensure the soldiers are blessed and forgiven before battle.

• Symbol of Faith: The Neophyte is a symbolic figure, marking the troops as devout in the eyes of their general and gods. This may increase their morale and faith, although it won’t directly affect their combat efficiency.

• Rituals & Shriving: His primary function is to conduct rituals and shriving, allowing the troops to perform their duties with a clear conscience and divine favor. The PB Info Card ensures he can help your troops stay focused on the greater mission, even in the heat of battle.

• Moral Influence: While he doesn’t directly improve the army’s battle prowess, his presence makes the Neophyte a valuable figure for a faith-driven army, enhancing thematic play and devotional tactics.

In Summary:

The Neophyte is a spiritual officer whose humble role isn’t defined by combat but by his unwavering devotion to his gods. While he does not directly influence battle effectiveness, his presence marks the army as divinely favored, supporting the soldiers' morale and readiness for combat. Ideal for those who wish to incorporate a theistic influence into their Hundred Kingdoms army, the Neophyte is a vital component in adding faith and spiritual depth to your force.
