+====== Permanent Faith ======
+According to the core book, a demon’s permanent Faith is “a matter of self-confidence, faith in one’s self and in humanity” and “also a reflection of the demon’s confidence and assurance about his place in Creation and a measure of enlightenment and understanding of the universe. (page 127)” It’s a rather vague concept, and there is not much guidance on what demons have to do in order to increase it.
+I will be operating under the assumption that a demon’s permanent Faith will grow as they regain access to their lores and become more self-confident in their power and more comfortable in the strange new world they now inhabit. With this in mind, permanent Faith will be tied to the amount of XP the character has spent:
+^  XP Spent  ^  Maximum Permanent Faith  ^
+|  0  |  4  |
+|  100  |  5  |
+|  200  |  6  |
+|  300  |  7  |
+|  400  |  8  |
+|  500  |  9  |
+|  600  |  10((Note that 10 is the maximum amount of permanent Faith a mortal host can sustain. Should a main-stage character find themselves in a situation where they no longer inhabit a regular host, different limits apply (to be discussed on a case-by-case basis).))  |
+As long as the character has spent the perquisite amount of XP, a Faith increase needs no further justification. Please take note that this is //spent// XP, not //total// XP.

 ===== Risks =====
-If you ever botch the roll needed to actually Reap the Faith (such as the Charisma + Empathy roll needed for Healing the Sick), or if the mortal scores three or more successes on their Revelation roll, you could face consequences. As mentioned above, maybe they go home and blog about it, and a Hunter reads it and recognizes it as legitimate. Maybe the person you healed IS a Hunter, or worse, the member of an Earthbound cult, a Sabbat ghoul, or a Technocrat or Kinsfolk. \\

 **For the sake of mortal willpower for Revelation rolls, assume they have a Willpower of 4 unless stated otherwise.**
