As a chaplain you would ideally proselytize whatever crazy religion you've made up for that round over your [[headset]]. However, besides your office, the hellish crematorium next to it, the theater backstage, and the rarely used morgue, you have no access.

==Holy Artifacts==
In your possession are several important items with various utility If you can keep it in your possession, you should.
===Holy Book===
Arguably the most important tool in your arsenal is your bible. It may be named differently depending on your religion, but for the sake of this page, it will be referred to as a bible. Certain religion names will give you a custom bible name. For example, setting your religion to Hinduism will name it "The Vedas", while setting it to Christianity will name it "The Holy Bible". Otherwise, it is simply titled "The Holy Book of [Religion]".
 
When you interact with it directly, you will be first prompted to select a skin from ones available. They are purely cosmetic, so feel free to choose whichever you like the most. After this, you will be able to access the inside storage compartment of the bible, which holds a bottle of whiskey. You can put almost anything else in there, however.
 
Hitting somebody in the head with your bible will heal 20 points of brute and burn damage overall (robotic limbs are refused to be healed) while dealing 5 points of brain damage to them, up to a total of 60 brain damage. However, this can change depending on your selected sect: see [[#Altar_of_Gods|Altar of Gods]] below.
Note that the bible can't be used by non-chaplains, sizzling in their hands if they try to do so. However, they can still access the contents of the bible itself.

==Holy Artefacts==
Quantum Physics and Theology
In your possession are several important items, including your Holy Book and the Null Rod. These items are powerful and should be kept in your possession at all times.


===Holy Book===
String Theory for Dummies
'''You have to set the name of your god and religion in the Character Setup window before the round starts''', else you will be stuck with whatever the default is. The first time you interact with your book in a round, you can set its skin. The resulting Bible starts with space cash and beer in it, and [[Clown|perhaps some other junk]]; you may want to store the holy water on your desk.


Hitting somebody in the head with your Bible has a 60% chance to heal them and a 40% chance to give them 10 brain damage, unless the <s>victim</s> congregant is wearing robust headgear (helmets, certain hats, and any child of the helmet class.) You can even revive people who are in critical condition! But if you use the ability a lot, you will start to see diminishing returns, with a higher chance to cause brain damage, and a lower amount of damage healed.
How To: Build Your Own Warp Drive


- It should be noted that your book cannot be used by the non-believers, meaning: If someone steals your book and attempts to brain somebody over the head with it, the book will sizzle in that persons hands. However, others CAN access the content of the book itself.

===Null Rod===
Playing God: Collector's Edition
The obsidian rod will be your defense against the [[Cult magic|forces of evil]]. Having it in your possession will make you completely immune to the effects of blood magic. It will also destroy any runes and is a excellent weapon in general.

===Null Rod===
The second most important tool in your arsenal, the null rod can be a fair variety of weaponry that makes you immune against direct [[Blood Cult|Nar'Sian]] and [[Clockwork Cult|Ratvarian]] magic, and certain [[Wizard]] spells as well as heretic mansus. However, it usually can't stop a sword.

*'''Funerals:''' You have a stock of coffins and burial garments you can use for wakes and space burials (that is, launching them out of the mass driver). Some employees appreciate wakes being held for friends and loved ones. See below.
===Armaments Beacon===
The armaments beacon can be found in the ChapDrobe. When you use it, you will be presented with six options:
*'''Profane Scholar Kit''' – A student robe and cage to be worn on the head. Renders you more vulnerable to damage, but grants you more movement speed.
*'''Stone Sentinel Kit''' – A set of Ancient Armor. Offers very good melee armor and okay armor in every other category, but slows you down a little more than a riot suit would.
*'''Witchhunter Kit''' – A witch hunter robe and hat. Offers moderate melee armor and mediocre armor in every other category. Only slightly slows you down.
*'''Templar Kit''' – A single set of crusader armor. Offers pretty good melee armor and good bomb armor, but mediocre in every other category. Slows you down about at the rate a riot suit would.
*'''Followers of the Chaplain Kit''' – A leader hoodie and four follower hoodies. The follower hoodies barely have armor in every category, while the leader hoodie is slightly better, especially with melee armor. Does not slow you down.
*'''Founder Kit of the Black Templars''' – A moderately armored Black Templar Chaplain suit and three slightly lighter armored Black Templar Follower suits. Better against rads, fire, and acid than any other set from the beacon. Slows you down a little less than a riot suit would. While the suits are technically hardsuits, they do not grant protection from bright lights or vacuum.
===Altar of Gods ===
Attacking it with your bible will allow you to choose a sect. Currently, there are six:
(Favor represents how much/what type of materials you need for 1 Favor.)

|-
|Technophile
|A sect oriented around technology.
|Heals 20 points of brute and burn, but only for silicons and robotic limbs. It also charges.
|1.5 kJ (power cell)
|50 Favor = Creates a bot
200 Favor = Get an implant


*'''Psychological care.''' This includes counseling, pharmaceutical remedies (consult the chemist), and confessions. You have a confession booth; you and the confessor enter separate rooms and switch on the radio terminals. Most crew members rarely if ever submit to psychological care of their own initiative; offer to help when someone looks troubled. Prisoners are most often in need of attention.
350 Favor = Android conversion
|-
|Cult of St. Credit
|A cult oriented around money.
|Heals 60 points of brute and burn, but charges whoever is being healed 10 credits and won't heal if they don't have enough. It also plays a cash register sound effect each time it heals.
|1 credit (holochip)
|100 Favor = Fancy clothing

*'''Church Services.''' Give sermons and sing hymns.<!-- You can create a hymnal by writing a youtube link to a desired song on a piece of paper, or have the Librarian run some off for you. -->
2,000 Favor = Turns someone into a ruinous metal golem
|-
|Ever-Burning Candle
|A sect dedicated to candles.
|Heals 40 points of burn
|A burning corpse
|200 Favor = 5 candles that never melt
1,000 = Make a piece of clothing fireproof
|-
|Cult of the Honkmother
|A sect dedicated to the clown goddess, the Honkmother.
|Heals only clowns.
|Bananas
|50 Favor = Creates a banana cream pie
150 Favor = Summons a Honkbot


*'''Proselytizing.''' Most crew members are godless heathens; acquiring followers for your god(s) is your first priority. When you convince someone to join the church, you can perform a ritual of conversion (some elements you may want to include: drugs, glossolalia, sacrifices, drinking of [[Guide_to_drinks#Demons_Blood|demon's blood]], public announcements, prayer, lying naked on the altar, strikes with the holy book, confession, blood-letting).
1000 Favor = Creates a sheet of bananium
|-
|Holy Light
|A sect dedicated to healing.
|Heals twice as much as a normal bible but with a 12 second cooldown.
Heals all limb types.
Costs favor to heal.
|Each point of damage healed with your bible generates 1 favor point.
You get a 100% increase (200% in the chapel) to healing when the holy light bible is used on you, this additional healing is turned into favor.
|150 Favor = Creates a one-use autosurgeon that implants a medhud
250 Favor = Summons a medbot


*'''Blessing Rooms.''' Your bible has the power to turn ordinary water into holy water by <s>blessing</s> smacking the container with it. Holy water stops any [[Construct | Evil Spirits]] or [[Wizard | Magical Beings]] from Ethereal Jaunting onto the tile that you splash the holy water on, and can deconvert cultists. If a cult or wizard is discovered then it would be the best idea to bless a water-tank with your bible, give that to security, grabbing a fire extinguisher and blessing that too and then asking for the AI to let you in so you can bless his chamber from potential harm. The fire extinguisher will allow you to easily bless rooms because it will affect every tile that the water travels on. You can tell if a tile is blessed when it glows yellow after a little while.
400 Favor = Creates a better version of rod of asclepius called Rod of White


*'''Other possible activities:''' Investiture of new acolytes and paladins, dedication of mechs, gravitational singularities, psychical research and seances, and pilgrimages to the singularity/Clown Planet/the AI Satellite/the Derelict Station.
650 Favor = Fully heals a buckled mob. If dead, revives them with 75 clone damage.

===Thanatology===
==Becoming a Prophet==
The Mass Driver's primary purpose is for burials-at-space; wooden caskets are provided for this purpose. Caskets function likes lockers; place the body in the casket, give a eulogy (over the [[radio]] if no one is present), move the casket into the driver and fire it.
Every chaplain needs their own religion. While you can use one that already exists, whether it's something real like Christianity or Zoroastrianism or one unique to SS13 like Ratvarianism or the Cult of the Honkmother, sometimes it's fun to come up with your own.


Note that some crew members may seek to use the Mass Driver as a way to exit the station into space; for safety reasons, make sure they are properly equipped before letting them through. This will send them towards the [[Backstory#Space Station 12|derelict station]].
Below are some questions to consider. They are by no means wholly-encompassing, but thinking about these should give you a solid base for further development and hold up to questioning; perhaps write these answers down somewhere, if you want to keep them consistent.
*What is your religion's name?
*What is your religion's deity (or deities)?
*How did your religion come to be? Did it have a particular founder?
*Is there a particular or set of holy texts that serve as the foundation of your religion?
*How big is your religion?
*Is your religion organized? Does it have a leader?
*How do "normal" people relate to the divine? What are they expected to do?
*How do the clergy relate to the divine? What are they expected to do? Are there multiple types, each expected to fill their own roles?
*How do people join the religion? What do they need to do or have to join?
==Duties==
Individual chaplains are free to invent their own specific rituals, but there are some matters shared across all types of chaplain, such as:
*'''Funerals''' – You have a stock of coffins, burial garments, a mass driver, and a crematorium. To properly "bury" someone, strip them of all of their equipment (save for their ID), set those off to the side or return it to the departed's former department, dress them in the burial garments, and put them in a coffin. From here, you may hold a proper funeral in the chapel (be sure to announce it over the radio in advance) and have someone (or a few people) perform an eulogy, after which you should either use the mass driver to launch the coffin into space or cremate the body and put the resulting ashes in an urn from the ChapDrobe.


The Crematorium is used to turn bodies into ash, including those of [[xenos]]. Remember to strip the body before cremating it.
*'''Psychological care''' – While this is intended to be the role of the [[Psychiatrist]], one might not be on the station or some may prefer your help. This can include counseling, pharmaceutical remedies (consult the chemist), and confessions. For confessions specifically, you and the confessor enter separate rooms and switch on the radio terminals. Most crew members rarely. if ever submit to psychological care of their own initiative; offer to help when someone looks troubled. Prisoners are most often in need of attention.


===Propitiating the [[Administrators|Gods]]===
*'''Church Services''' – Give sermons and sing hymns. You can create a hymnal by writing a YouTube link or even the song code on a piece of paper and ask the [[Curator]] to print and bind spare copies. Note that the chapel, on most maps, isn't a high-traffic area, so announce it over the radio in advance.
The Pray command is like an [[adminhelp]], but is [[IC]], and should be worded deferentially (e.g. "Oh Great and Wise Pelor, please grant your humble servant...). It is advised that you only pray later in the round; the gods have a habit of ignoring early prayers. You can increase your divine favor by making a sacrifice to your god(s) of choice; you can do this any number of ways (it is wise to state what you have sacrificed in your prayer). Prayers are more likely to be answered if they are somehow thematically appropriate: wishing for an RCD for no apparent reason is unlikely to be fulfilled, but praying for, say, a divine mission or the tools to complete such are more amusing to the gods.


You have candles and crayons in your locker. Candles can be set anywhere and lit (they eventually burn down). Crayons can be used to draw runes (commonly placed in front of the podium), as well as graffiti (not really your style) and letters (allowing you to write out messages across the ground).
*'''Proselytizing''' – Most crew members are godless heathens; acquiring followers for your god(s) is your first priority. When you convince someone to join the church, you can perform a ritual of initiation, which can be anything from reciting an oath to drinking [[Guide_to_chemistry#Narcotics|something]] to even public humiliation. Note that for more extreme rituals, you should check with your [[Contributors#Staff|god(s)]] to see if you can perform them without facing their wrath.
===Ringing Up the [[Contributors#Staff|Gods]]===
The Pray command, like an [[Adminhelp]], contacts all of the currently-online admins. However, it is treated as [[IC]], and should be worded differently as a result. More specifically, avoid asking for specific items or equipment. For example, "can i have an rcd", even with proper punctuation and capitalization, would be ignored at best and result in a smiting at worst. However, changing it into "Oh, Space Father who art in Space Heaven, please grant me a way to escape/construct things." will be more likely to give a result, even if it may not be what you wanted.
==You vs the Forces of Evil ==
Even as the most divine person on the station, remember: '''you are a civilian, not a [[Security Officer]]'''. As such, most "mundane" threats such as [[Traitor|Syndicate spies]], [[Revolution|disgruntled employees]], or [[Gang_War|warring gangs]] aren't matters you should involve yourself in. However, for ''supernatural'' threats, you're suddenly the expert.


Do not expect any prayers to be answered. Gods are fickle beings. Nobody knows what they are going to do next in their great designs.
Note that for almost all supernatural threats, a large stock of holy water will be useful, as the flask provided in the chapel only contains 100 units and religious supply crates from cargo contain only a single flask each. Luckily, the process of making holy water is much simpler than in reality: just attack a container containing water with a bible and it will be blessed, turning all the water inside into holy water.


===GET BEHIND ME NAR-NAR===
In addition, holy water can be used to bless tiles, denying dark spirits from teleporting onto them. You can tell if a tile is blessed if it glows yellow after a short delay. Generally, you should only bless areas likely to be attacked, such as the [[Bridge]] or [[AI Satellite]]/[[AI Core|Core]].
During a [[cult]] invasion, you will suddenly find yourself a vital part of the station's security force, and also a target. You will want to ensure Security has a stock of holy water to deconvert cultists -- remember that your bible can bless any water it comes into contact with -- and Security may want your null rod as well. Your bible can be used to detect nearby hidden runes by hitting the floor with it. This can be invaluable in finding suspected cult bases. Finally, you are immune to cult magic, which will help you if you decide to go BATTLE PALADIN and <s>valid</s> save everyone. '''For more information, go [[Cult magic|here]].'''
===Cultists===
In spite of how they may otherwise differ, fighting against [[Blood Cult|blood]] and [[Clockwork Cult|clockwork]] cultists tends to be fairly similar. Although you could wait for them to become a real problem and attack with security, it's generally better to stop the problem before it starts. That is, to have security arrest cultists, deconvert them using holy water, and optionally implant them with a mindshield to prevent re-conversion.


If [[admin|your god]] hates you enough, you may also encounter a [[Revenant]], an undead ghost creature that wants your souls. Again, your null rod is incredibly robust against these creatures.
Your null rod does ''45'' extra damage against the constructs of blood cults. It can also be used to cleanse their runes.
===Vampires===
Vampires are creatures of the night that will attempt to suck the blood of your fellow crew. Deducing that you have vampires can be tricky at times, but there are tells to be aware of, such as dead bats in the hallways and/or multiple bloodless bodies in medical. When the threat is confirmed, you should contact Security immediately and begin blessing everywhere that you can with Holy Water, as this will interfere with the Vampire's mobility tool, Jaunt. Personal eye protection and ear protection are also highly recommended, as a vampire's main offensive ability is to petrify and knock you out by making eye contact. When you have successfully apprehended a vampire, try not to kill them but knock them unconscious. If you kill them, they will have a chance to revive and flee. Your first priority with a vampire is to drag them into your Chapel (this can also be used as a deduction tool on suspected vampires) as soon as possible, as they will light aflame and turn to ash when they step foot on sanctified ground, making them unrevivable. Don't feel too bad about doing this, as vampires cannot safely be arrested or contained as long as they can jaunt.
===Wizards===
Wizards are chaotic spellcasters with a variety of tools to turn the tides in their favor. Your null rod will protect from a majority of their magic, so you are a valuable asset against these masterful murdering mages. Wizards are extremely dangerous to take in alive, so coordinate with Security against the threat, and attempt to kill them through whatever means you have available. They may return through a variety of methods, however, and you must be prepared for every possibility with these dastardly foes. Some wizards may claim that they are friendly, and will attempt to make peace, though they are still Wizards at the core and should be dealt with by the joint effort of yourself and Security.
===Heretics===
Heretics are dangerous opponents to fight depending on when in the shift you find them. The longer the shift goes on, the more dangerous and powerful these heretics will get, until they ascend and become nigh indestructible. If tears in reality are sighted, contact security for assistance, and have them start searching any potential suspects you see as well as people near transmutation runes. They will usually have their codex and heart on them, and if they have crafted one, a powerful blade that you must take caution with. Heretics can pick one of three paths to go down: ash, flesh, and rust.  


==Tips==
Ash heretics have access to a short ranged jaunt, an ashen blade that will set you on fire and deal stamina damage if you are hit, and the ability to drain your life if you are on fire. If an ash heretic ascends, have a fire extinguisher on hand or stay close to showers. Long ranged lethal weapons are advised as you will be set on fire at closer ranges, and you must either bait out or run away from their room melting abilities.


*Setting your religion's name to certain presents will give your holy book a special name, as well as dispensing 100 brain damage to you. For example, naming your religion 'Homosexuality' will name your bible 'GUYS GONE WILD!!'  
Flesh heretics can revive corpses into loyal, mute servants or dangerous ghouls (as long as the body isn't mindshielded), make a weak monster called a Raw Prophet that has increased seeing range and x-ray, create a shapeshifting creature called a Stalker that inherits the stats and properties of what it transforms into, and use a flesh blade that causes profuse bleeding. Try to kill a flesh heretics servants before going after them, as you will be surrounded and murdered otherwise.  
**Other notable examples include: christianity, satanism, cthulu, islam, scientology, chaos, imperium, toolboxia, homosexuality, lol, wtf, gay, penis, ass, poo, badmin, shitmin, deadmin, cock, cocks.
*Your bible, despite starting with some useless junk, can be emptied and filled with a complete set of tools or other similarly sized items. Best of all, it fits in your hoodie's suit storage!
*Healing en-masse during blob rounds is extremely effective, as you can get people back into the fight quickly and easily. Besides, who needs proper cognitive function to fight the blob?


Rust heretics spread their rust across the station in a variety of ways, slowly healing on rusted tiles, and can destroy most structures as well as armor that you are wearing. Rust heretic blades inject you with poisonous eldritch water, and have unlimited smoke grenades. When a rust heretic ascends, they will heal incredibly quickly on rust tiles as well as having self spreading rust. Rust heretics are weak to stuns and as such can usually easily be stunned and killed while you get the chance to do damage.
===And More===
If [[admin|your god(s)]] hate you enough, you may also encounter a [[Revenant]], an undead ghost creature that wants your souls. Again, your null rod is incredibly robust against these creatures. Use holy water to prevent their movement and check places with corpses to see it harvesting souls. When it's dead, don't forget to disperse the ashes.
==Tips==
*Your bible doesn't just store bottles of booze. It can actually hold a great deal of things, from decks of cards to food to even certain null rods.
*Due to the Mass Driver working on just about anything that can fit on top of it, [[Curator|some]] may want to use it to quickly reach distant ruins.
*Your incinerator will not work without power and can be destroyed. Also make sure whoever you burn does not have important items because those will be destroyed too.
*Hitting a water tank with your bible converts the entire tank's water into holy water.
*While it is true that with a null rod you are immune to most magic it can also counter some types of magic and instead force the spell on the person who cast it.
*During any cult or heretic round you can use your book to get rid of ritual markings.
*'''DO NOT USE RANDOM BODIES WITHOUT SOULS/SSD FOR RITE SACRIFICES.'''
*Your null rod gives you magic resistance, not you. If you lose it, you will lose your combat affinity against the paranormal and, if lost and put into the wrong hands of a [[Blood Cult|certain book club]], it could spell the doom of everyone.
==The Inquisition==
==The Inquisition==
As a traitor, your curse of being ignored by everyone becomes a valuable asset. The chapel is a relatively secluded part of the station, and odds are the AI won't be keeping an eye on it. You have a null rod, WHICH IS ROBUST AS FUCK. Also don't forget that your bible is a useful storage compartment that won't attract suspicion, and if you hit someone in the head with a bible a few times they get brain damage and then it's a lot harder to yell for help. You can drag around bodies, as well as both space and cremate bodies without looking suspicious: it's your job, after all.
As a traitor, your curse of being ignored by everyone becomes a valuable asset. The chapel is a relatively secluded part of the station, and odds are the AI won't be keeping an eye on it. You have a null rod, which gives you a leg up - you don't have to purchase a weapon unless you want to. Also don't forget that your bible is a useful storage compartment that won't attract suspicion (but does frequently get searched). You can drag around bodies, as well as both space and cremate bodies without looking suspicious: it's your job, after all.


Also remember that the morgue tray in the crematorium can store bodies, items and even whole crates (such as the syndicate surplus crate). It's not a bad place to hide stuff (especially if the camera suffers from an "accident"), but keep in mind the light on the tray turns orange if anything other than a body is inside of it.

Another sneaky idea as traitor is to host one of the chaplains universally renowned "Kool-Aid" parties. Make sure you purchased a toxins kit, then, go to the bar and ask for 10 glasses of grape or orange juice. Put all of the glasses on your table in the chapel then dump anything and everything from the toxins kit into each drink Jim Jones style, <s>break into the captains office</s> tell the captain to make an announcement saying that chaplain is hosting a party and everyone on the station is required to visit (some one might actually be stupid enough.) you may not get your target, but you might get everyone else.

As a chaplain you would ideally proselytize whatever crazy religion you've made up for that round over your headset. However, besides your office, the hellish crematorium next to it, the theater backstage, and the rarely used morgue, you have no access.

Bare minimum requirements: Know how to deal with the various supernatural threats that afflict the station, and have something to do when there aren't any.


Holy Artifacts

In your possession are several important items with various utility If you can keep it in your possession, you should.

Holy Book

Arguably the most important tool in your arsenal is your bible. It may be named differently depending on your religion, but for the sake of this page, it will be referred to as a bible. Certain religion names will give you a custom bible name. For example, setting your religion to Hinduism will name it "The Vedas", while setting it to Christianity will name it "The Holy Bible". Otherwise, it is simply titled "The Holy Book of [Religion]".

When you interact with it directly, you will be first prompted to select a skin from ones available. They are purely cosmetic, so feel free to choose whichever you like the most. After this, you will be able to access the inside storage compartment of the bible, which holds a bottle of whiskey. You can put almost anything else in there, however.

Hitting somebody in the head with your bible will heal 20 points of brute and burn damage overall (robotic limbs are refused to be healed) while dealing 5 points of brain damage to them, up to a total of 60 brain damage. However, this can change depending on your selected sect: see Altar of Gods below. Note that the bible can't be used by non-chaplains, sizzling in their hands if they try to do so. However, they can still access the contents of the bible itself.

Null Rod

The second most important tool in your arsenal, the null rod can be a fair variety of weaponry that makes you immune against direct Nar'Sian and Ratvarian magic, and certain Wizard spells as well as heretic mansus. However, it usually can't stop a sword.

Armaments Beacon

The armaments beacon can be found in the ChapDrobe. When you use it, you will be presented with six options:

  • Profane Scholar Kit – A student robe and cage to be worn on the head. Renders you more vulnerable to damage, but grants you more movement speed.
  • Stone Sentinel Kit – A set of Ancient Armor. Offers very good melee armor and okay armor in every other category, but slows you down a little more than a riot suit would.
  • Witchhunter Kit – A witch hunter robe and hat. Offers moderate melee armor and mediocre armor in every other category. Only slightly slows you down.
  • Templar Kit – A single set of crusader armor. Offers pretty good melee armor and good bomb armor, but mediocre in every other category. Slows you down about at the rate a riot suit would.
  • Followers of the Chaplain Kit – A leader hoodie and four follower hoodies. The follower hoodies barely have armor in every category, while the leader hoodie is slightly better, especially with melee armor. Does not slow you down.
  • Founder Kit of the Black Templars – A moderately armored Black Templar Chaplain suit and three slightly lighter armored Black Templar Follower suits. Better against rads, fire, and acid than any other set from the beacon. Slows you down a little less than a riot suit would. While the suits are technically hardsuits, they do not grant protection from bright lights or vacuum.

Altar of Gods

Attacking it with your bible will allow you to choose a sect. Currently, there are six: (Favor represents how much/what type of materials you need for 1 Favor.)

Name Description Bless Favor Rituals
Puritanism (Default) Nothing at all!
Nothing at all!
Nothing at all!
See Holy Book. None. None.
Technophile A sect oriented around technology. Heals 20 points of brute and burn, but only for silicons and robotic limbs. It also charges. 1.5 kJ (power cell) 50 Favor = Creates a bot

200 Favor = Get an implant

350 Favor = Android conversion

Cult of St. Credit A cult oriented around money. Heals 60 points of brute and burn, but charges whoever is being healed 10 credits and won't heal if they don't have enough. It also plays a cash register sound effect each time it heals. 1 credit (holochip) 100 Favor = Fancy clothing

10,000 Favor = Capitalist golem conversion

Children of Kudzu A sect dedicated to plants. See Holy Book. A grown crop 400 Favor = Turns someone into wooden golem
Gathering of the Old Gods A sect dedicated to the Old Gods. See Holy Book. Meat 50 Favor = Creates a knife

150 Favor = Creates a piece of ruinous metal

2,000 Favor = Turns someone into a ruinous metal golem

Ever-Burning Candle A sect dedicated to candles. Heals 40 points of burn A burning corpse 200 Favor = 5 candles that never melt

1,000 = Make a piece of clothing fireproof

Cult of the Honkmother A sect dedicated to the clown goddess, the Honkmother. Heals only clowns. Bananas 50 Favor = Creates a banana cream pie

150 Favor = Summons a Honkbot

1000 Favor = Creates a sheet of bananium

Holy Light A sect dedicated to healing. Heals twice as much as a normal bible but with a 12 second cooldown.

Heals all limb types. Costs favor to heal.

Each point of damage healed with your bible generates 1 favor point.

You get a 100% increase (200% in the chapel) to healing when the holy light bible is used on you, this additional healing is turned into favor.

150 Favor = Creates a one-use autosurgeon that implants a medhud

250 Favor = Summons a medbot

400 Favor = Creates a better version of rod of asclepius called Rod of White

650 Favor = Fully heals a buckled mob. If dead, revives them with 75 clone damage.

Becoming a Prophet

Every chaplain needs their own religion. While you can use one that already exists, whether it's something real like Christianity or Zoroastrianism or one unique to SS13 like Ratvarianism or the Cult of the Honkmother, sometimes it's fun to come up with your own.

Below are some questions to consider. They are by no means wholly-encompassing, but thinking about these should give you a solid base for further development and hold up to questioning; perhaps write these answers down somewhere, if you want to keep them consistent.

  • What is your religion's name?
  • What is your religion's deity (or deities)?
  • How did your religion come to be? Did it have a particular founder?
  • Is there a particular or set of holy texts that serve as the foundation of your religion?
  • How big is your religion?
  • Is your religion organized? Does it have a leader?
  • How do "normal" people relate to the divine? What are they expected to do?
  • How do the clergy relate to the divine? What are they expected to do? Are there multiple types, each expected to fill their own roles?
  • How do people join the religion? What do they need to do or have to join?

Duties

Individual chaplains are free to invent their own specific rituals, but there are some matters shared across all types of chaplain, such as:

  • Funerals – You have a stock of coffins, burial garments, a mass driver, and a crematorium. To properly "bury" someone, strip them of all of their equipment (save for their ID), set those off to the side or return it to the departed's former department, dress them in the burial garments, and put them in a coffin. From here, you may hold a proper funeral in the chapel (be sure to announce it over the radio in advance) and have someone (or a few people) perform an eulogy, after which you should either use the mass driver to launch the coffin into space or cremate the body and put the resulting ashes in an urn from the ChapDrobe.
  • Psychological care – While this is intended to be the role of the Psychiatrist, one might not be on the station or some may prefer your help. This can include counseling, pharmaceutical remedies (consult the chemist), and confessions. For confessions specifically, you and the confessor enter separate rooms and switch on the radio terminals. Most crew members rarely. if ever submit to psychological care of their own initiative; offer to help when someone looks troubled. Prisoners are most often in need of attention.
  • Church Services – Give sermons and sing hymns. You can create a hymnal by writing a YouTube link or even the song code on a piece of paper and ask the Curator to print and bind spare copies. Note that the chapel, on most maps, isn't a high-traffic area, so announce it over the radio in advance.
  • Proselytizing – Most crew members are godless heathens; acquiring followers for your god(s) is your first priority. When you convince someone to join the church, you can perform a ritual of initiation, which can be anything from reciting an oath to drinking something to even public humiliation. Note that for more extreme rituals, you should check with your god(s) to see if you can perform them without facing their wrath.

Ringing Up the Gods

The Pray command, like an Adminhelp, contacts all of the currently-online admins. However, it is treated as IC, and should be worded differently as a result. More specifically, avoid asking for specific items or equipment. For example, "can i have an rcd", even with proper punctuation and capitalization, would be ignored at best and result in a smiting at worst. However, changing it into "Oh, Space Father who art in Space Heaven, please grant me a way to escape/construct things." will be more likely to give a result, even if it may not be what you wanted.

You vs the Forces of Evil

Even as the most divine person on the station, remember: you are a civilian, not a Security Officer. As such, most "mundane" threats such as Syndicate spies, disgruntled employees, or warring gangs aren't matters you should involve yourself in. However, for supernatural threats, you're suddenly the expert.

Note that for almost all supernatural threats, a large stock of holy water will be useful, as the flask provided in the chapel only contains 100 units and religious supply crates from cargo contain only a single flask each. Luckily, the process of making holy water is much simpler than in reality: just attack a container containing water with a bible and it will be blessed, turning all the water inside into holy water.

In addition, holy water can be used to bless tiles, denying dark spirits from teleporting onto them. You can tell if a tile is blessed if it glows yellow after a short delay. Generally, you should only bless areas likely to be attacked, such as the Bridge or AI Satellite/Core.

Cultists

In spite of how they may otherwise differ, fighting against blood and clockwork cultists tends to be fairly similar. Although you could wait for them to become a real problem and attack with security, it's generally better to stop the problem before it starts. That is, to have security arrest cultists, deconvert them using holy water, and optionally implant them with a mindshield to prevent re-conversion.

Your null rod does 45 extra damage against the constructs of blood cults. It can also be used to cleanse their runes.

Vampires

Vampires are creatures of the night that will attempt to suck the blood of your fellow crew. Deducing that you have vampires can be tricky at times, but there are tells to be aware of, such as dead bats in the hallways and/or multiple bloodless bodies in medical. When the threat is confirmed, you should contact Security immediately and begin blessing everywhere that you can with Holy Water, as this will interfere with the Vampire's mobility tool, Jaunt. Personal eye protection and ear protection are also highly recommended, as a vampire's main offensive ability is to petrify and knock you out by making eye contact. When you have successfully apprehended a vampire, try not to kill them but knock them unconscious. If you kill them, they will have a chance to revive and flee. Your first priority with a vampire is to drag them into your Chapel (this can also be used as a deduction tool on suspected vampires) as soon as possible, as they will light aflame and turn to ash when they step foot on sanctified ground, making them unrevivable. Don't feel too bad about doing this, as vampires cannot safely be arrested or contained as long as they can jaunt.

Wizards

Wizards are chaotic spellcasters with a variety of tools to turn the tides in their favor. Your null rod will protect from a majority of their magic, so you are a valuable asset against these masterful murdering mages. Wizards are extremely dangerous to take in alive, so coordinate with Security against the threat, and attempt to kill them through whatever means you have available. They may return through a variety of methods, however, and you must be prepared for every possibility with these dastardly foes. Some wizards may claim that they are friendly, and will attempt to make peace, though they are still Wizards at the core and should be dealt with by the joint effort of yourself and Security.

Heretics

Heretics are dangerous opponents to fight depending on when in the shift you find them. The longer the shift goes on, the more dangerous and powerful these heretics will get, until they ascend and become nigh indestructible. If tears in reality are sighted, contact security for assistance, and have them start searching any potential suspects you see as well as people near transmutation runes. They will usually have their codex and heart on them, and if they have crafted one, a powerful blade that you must take caution with. Heretics can pick one of three paths to go down: ash, flesh, and rust.

Ash heretics have access to a short ranged jaunt, an ashen blade that will set you on fire and deal stamina damage if you are hit, and the ability to drain your life if you are on fire. If an ash heretic ascends, have a fire extinguisher on hand or stay close to showers. Long ranged lethal weapons are advised as you will be set on fire at closer ranges, and you must either bait out or run away from their room melting abilities.

Flesh heretics can revive corpses into loyal, mute servants or dangerous ghouls (as long as the body isn't mindshielded), make a weak monster called a Raw Prophet that has increased seeing range and x-ray, create a shapeshifting creature called a Stalker that inherits the stats and properties of what it transforms into, and use a flesh blade that causes profuse bleeding. Try to kill a flesh heretics servants before going after them, as you will be surrounded and murdered otherwise.

Rust heretics spread their rust across the station in a variety of ways, slowly healing on rusted tiles, and can destroy most structures as well as armor that you are wearing. Rust heretic blades inject you with poisonous eldritch water, and have unlimited smoke grenades. When a rust heretic ascends, they will heal incredibly quickly on rust tiles as well as having self spreading rust. Rust heretics are weak to stuns and as such can usually easily be stunned and killed while you get the chance to do damage.

And More

If your god(s) hate you enough, you may also encounter a Revenant, an undead ghost creature that wants your souls. Again, your null rod is incredibly robust against these creatures. Use holy water to prevent their movement and check places with corpses to see it harvesting souls. When it's dead, don't forget to disperse the ashes.

Tips

  • Your bible doesn't just store bottles of booze. It can actually hold a great deal of things, from decks of cards to food to even certain null rods.
  • Due to the Mass Driver working on just about anything that can fit on top of it, some may want to use it to quickly reach distant ruins.
  • Your incinerator will not work without power and can be destroyed. Also make sure whoever you burn does not have important items because those will be destroyed too.
  • Hitting a water tank with your bible converts the entire tank's water into holy water.
  • While it is true that with a null rod you are immune to most magic it can also counter some types of magic and instead force the spell on the person who cast it.
  • During any cult or heretic round you can use your book to get rid of ritual markings.
  • DO NOT USE RANDOM BODIES WITHOUT SOULS/SSD FOR RITE SACRIFICES.
  • Your null rod gives you magic resistance, not you. If you lose it, you will lose your combat affinity against the paranormal and, if lost and put into the wrong hands of a certain book club, it could spell the doom of everyone.

The Inquisition

As a traitor, your curse of being ignored by everyone becomes a valuable asset. The chapel is a relatively secluded part of the station, and odds are the AI won't be keeping an eye on it. You have a null rod, which gives you a leg up - you don't have to purchase a weapon unless you want to. Also don't forget that your bible is a useful storage compartment that won't attract suspicion (but does frequently get searched). You can drag around bodies, as well as both space and cremate bodies without looking suspicious: it's your job, after all.

Also remember that the morgue tray in the crematorium can store bodies, items and even whole crates (such as the syndicate surplus crate). It's not a bad place to hide stuff (especially if the camera suffers from an "accident"), but keep in mind the light on the tray turns orange if anything other than a body is inside of it.
