|It can fit in the belt and is small-sized, like the normal null rod. When used in hand, will target a cone in front of the user to deal tick damage to any mobs inside of it so long as you stand still. Standard mobs take about 5 burn and 15 stamina per second. Unholy creatures, or those otherwise tainted by unholiness, will take about 10 burn and 10 stamina per second.

===Armaments Beacon===

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

*'''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.

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.)

! style="background-color:#808080; color:#fff" |Favor

1000 Favor = Creates a sheet of bananium

|}

==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.

===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.

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.

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.  

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.

*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.

*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.

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.
