Commandments

When you first establish your religion, you choose one of the Commandments to form its basic foundations. The commandment tells your disciples what is right or what is wrong and determines:

Which classes fit best with the religion and
Which disciple stats are most acceptable and, thus, which rituals are available to develop those stats.
At the start of each playthrough, Each commandment will grant 1 of 2 Relics chosen by the player. These relics open free classes and provide a global effect to the religion.
