* Affiliation Awards/Penalties

Affiliation replaces Alignment in Hyadian Schism. The Chaos, Neutral and Law points obtains in game equates to a sort of "Karma" that acts like a game mechanic when the character deals with gods and some Sorcery/Cult Miracles.

Please note that this Affiliation system is not based on Good or Evil. Obviously some of the acts in the list below could be considered good or evil but this system is not mean to trap character play in a moral system. Though obviously certain acts will cause them to be more vulnerable to the influences of certain powers and abilities depending on how much they have accumulated in certain affiliations.

Another form of affiliation is used with NPC groups, such as villages, caravans, cults, etc...

These awards or penalties can affect how members of such groups will react to the player characters.
