10 Video Game Debuffs That Secretly Make You Stronger
3. Witch - Crusader Kings III
As was the case with the real medieval world, the digital version of Crusader Kings III takes religious matters very seriously.Being branded a heretic can have grave consequences for your character, especially if their brand of heresy likes to practice the dark arts.
The witch trait is given to any character who decides to study the forbidden lore of their official religion. The label can have very grave consequences for your ruler, as it gives permanent penatlies to relations with other members of your religion and lets people blackmail you for it.
On the other hand, being a witch allows you to start your own coven and gain scholarly experience faster, and if you know what you're doing, you can use this feature to forge your debuffs into buffs.
If you capture important religious centers of your religion, you may reform it using devotion points to enact a witch tolerance act and grant positive relations for witch characters instead of making them targets of ridicule. To get devotion points faster, you can use your coven abilities to accumulate more scholar experience, which will significantly speed up the process.
