We don't know that, there could very well be a ritual that increases our max health, although that would probably be mid to late game.

That's fair. I'll change my wording.
Since most plans are picking compromised, I will pick it as well replacing with it addicted and scarred.
Sir even the Mansus now hosts random zombie encounters, and Martial is the stat used for running away.

This is the epitome of facetanking. This is a wall made flesh. This is a wall made of flesh. I love it, let's go for it.

More worried about the Married and lack of the buffs for me.
It's a pretty good plan though.

Looking further Intuitive seems really good, a flat +5 to rituals and summonings when those tend to be the source of the greatest effects in cultist simulator is very strong.
Rather than directly fight battles, this character would be more focused on always being able to get away (though, a focus on Edge and Forge would make them a monster in a fight). There's an argument that taking the Frightened malus for the -10 Combat power would be worthwhile due to the sheer number of wounds this character could shrug off. So, with that additional coin, Intuitive could then be picked up for the Piety and general bonus to summoning.
EDIT: This change has been added to the plan.

4 coins to start, +4 from the complications- Frightened and Scarred should be easy enough to handle with the right rituals, and Compromised is fine if we plan to stay loyal to the Cult- for:
8 Coins total.
Beautiful is useful and gives a +5 on certain rolls, always useful.
Silver Tongued is narratively useful, and +3 Diplomacy is nice for social actions.
Well Read is useful for studying anything, and makes us better at improving our own Lore and possibly helping a Lore Master with their efforts, or BECOMING a Lore Master.
(8-4=4)
Farmers, since I think Piety is the thing that boosts our Summoning ability, and it helps reduce the Martial issues we'll be having, otherwise I'd have gone for Librarians.
(4-1=3)
Promoted gives us a better starting job and is useful to the Cult.
(3-1=2)
Glowing Eyes gives us another major boost to learning and gathering secrets/information.
(2-2=0)
I'm imagining the kindly Matron of an Orphanage relying on her Master to keep the Orphanage open while being highly religious/pious. Specializing in a mix of Piety and Learning, with elements of Diplomacy to make us a bit more approachable. I am open to ideas or changes in preference if you like. I'd prefer we were middle-aged or so, though younger would be nice, and older is also fine.
Regardless, the helpless Orphans are certainly one way to add to the Cult, especially if the age up into it... besides. teach them while they're young, right? If nothing else, you can share Heart and Lantern and maybe Forge with the kids and help them avoid health issues, learn more easily, and be better with their hands and making things than they otherwise would. Kids are the future and all that...

This plan is better for Action Economy since we can fixate on the Cult instead of our family for Socials.

Alternate Plan to be slightly less tanky than plan MHBfmF, but still should ameliorate the issues with Health that would make her unviable.

Someone got the inspiration. I plan to make a second version of it without married but keep the main plan.
I implore people not to go with two health and frightened, that's just begging to get mauled to death by a worm-zombie in the Woods.

I have three health! So don't worry about John on Heath aspect.
My plan is a mess and I didn't fixate too hard on it, but if I went with the other, more Heart-related special I'd give her +2 health. Would that make my plan more appealing? I'm certainly open too it, especially after seeing Velvet's struggles... I just love the Learning buffs.
[x] Plan: Father John
Just because it's theoretically removable by ritual doesn't mean it will be easy. In 8 turns of our previous quest we learnt 1 ritual of the lowest level, and the cult loremaster was learning one other ritual, probably just a bit better than the previous one. Even in cultist simulator, turning a decrepitude into a health is a pretty late game ritual.
Fair enough. I asked earlier if I should replace the Glowing Eyes with the Beating heart for the extra HP. If I go for that, it'll likely be a base-4, still higher than the 3 of normal people, and possibly be more Heart-aligned of an Origin than the other, which could combo with the Heart Cult. That should fix the Health Concern issue...

My plan is pretty much set up to benefit long term.
Plus 6 Piety with plus 5 for rituals sets us up a good fit for the cults ritualist.
Average health and personal combat but with an extra 4 martial. With a good set up for ritual healing later.
Grab the beautiful as it's a pretty good buff.
I'm pretty proud of the job. Self employed plus promoted plus has what the cult wants while securely in the Master's grasp.
Especially cool thing is the coincidental Name of Rebellion while being an old soul.
