Advice for Evil Cultists
1. Pick one faith and stick with it. Dilettantism is the mark of the
amateur.
2. Avoid needless embarrassment. Practice the correct pronunciation of your
gods name in the privacy of your room before chanting it in public. Flash cards are often helpful.
3. Never invoke anything bigger then your head.
4. Avoid all cabalistic jewelry over 10 pounds in weight. you're just
asking for trouble.
5. Citronella candles may not be used in rituals. I cannot stress this
enough. Pastel-colored candles in the shape of cute animals are like beacons
to the Dark Lords.
6. Always keep your kit with you: candles, chalk, incense, silver knife,
thugee knife, service revolver, garlic, cab fare, condoms, change.
7. Never be a cultist that goes to rough up the heroes. Ransacking hotel
rooms is probably safe but going round to beat up the good guys is a
definite no-no.
8. When Black Mass goes awry, stay away from the cult leader. enraged
daemons always go for the pompous.
9. Don't gloat.
10. If you do gloat, never reveal your plans.
11. If you gloat and reveal your plans, never leave the heroes to die
slowly. They don't.
12. If you do gloat, reveal your plans and leave the heroes to die slowly
don't have the audacity to look surprised when they show up to foil you.
13. Heroes always arrive at the last moment to foil you. Start a half
hour early. They hate that.
14. Select ceremonial robes that are easy to run in while still affording
ample concealment.
15. When a religious artifact begins emitting light, close your eyes.
16. When mutilating cattle, avoid the ones with the testicles.
17. During ritual sacrifice, taking bits home "for later" is now
considered bad form.
