You are an Other, following the path of the Red Priest. You possess a power that has not yet become yours by right. You must behave as your level dictates, until the power becomes part of you. Until the potion is digested, the bearer is vulnerable: the power is already there, but there is no authority over it yet.
The roles of the path are warlike: the Hunter tracks and finishes off, the Provocateur escalates an argument into a fight, the Conspirator prepares a confrontation in advance.
The method remained the knowledge of the few for a long time: the hierarchies of the churches were in no hurry to reveal it, and many Others rose blindly, paying for it with their sanity.
