Shadow Cult Initiation

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Mortals can only take one dot in this Merit. Ghouls can take up to two dots. Only Kindred can take the Merit at three or more dots.

Your character has received initiation into one of the Shadow Cults of the Mekhet (for example, the Moulding Room, the Followers of Seth or the Moirai). On the first occasion you meet another member of the cult, you gain a bonus to Social rolls for the duration of the scene, equal to your dots in this Merit. Interacting with that individual from that point on is based solely on your own abilities. Other benefits come from Initiation into a Shadow Cult, depending on the cult and the number of dots the character has gained in his or her Initiation.

Drawback

Initiation into a Shadow Cult carries with it duties, and failure to perform those duties can cause dots in this Merit to fall. A character with more than one dot of Initiation into any Shadow Cult can become initiated into others, but can never gain more than one dot in any other cult.
