I g rew up in a household with strong religious con-

victions. Entering the service of one or more gods

seemed natural.

An impassioned sermon struck a chord deep in my

soul and moved me to serve the faith.

I followed a childhood friend, a respected acquain-

tance, or someone I loved into religious service.

After encountering a true servant of the gods, I was

so inspired that I immediately entered the service

of a religious group.

CHARLATAN

d6 I became a charlatan because ...

I was left to my own devices, and my knack for ma-

nipulating others helped me survive.

2 I learned early on that people are gullible and easy

to exploit.

3 I often got in trouble, but I managed to talk my way

out of it every time.

4 I took up with a con fidence artist, from whom I

learned my craft.

5 After a charlatan fleeced my family, I decided to

learn the trade so I would never be fooled by such

deception again.

6 I was poor or I feared becoming poor, so I learned

the tricks I needed to keep myself out of poverty.
