faith is much easier than essence to get because it's riskless, the difference here is that there's a bajillion witches instead of the handful covens had in e3.
this is also the reason signing a book gives essence, i discussed it way back when i ended up as the supreme of a coven with only me in it making sabbath impossible to use.
hex is only as cool as the people casting and receiving it.
there's no downside for a new player joining a cult, you're right, but what's crazier is that praying for a new player is not only 'no downsides' but also 'all upsides' and they don't need to run at a spooky tower for you to do it, it can be anyone you find on the street with brown clothes, bright purple hair, a green name and a description that says [BLANK].
i don't think anything would change as far as being coerced into signing goes if you removed the essence gain; people who would change their methods over it would be killing their IC
That same player could get prayed over, then go join the cult with no downside to the cult. And the cult would get more benefit than the faith user did.
As for changing their methods over it killing their IC, if they're doing it to gain essence then it already isn't about IC it's about getting as much as you can out of your prisoner. If the intention is to truly just gather more soulshards for your god, then not getting essence shouldn't matter to you. You already accomplished your IC.
Quote:Uh, Its 5 essence per signee if you hold the book. Not 3...
Ah, the wiki says three. My mistake then.
