- Description: Avicia purges all impurity from the minds of nearby friendly squads and fills them with true faith, slowly increasing their morale.
- True Faith is a power held by the truly devout. With True Faith, for example, a brandished cross can have an effect on a Vampire, Fallen, Mage, Werewolf, Wraith or Changeling instead of being merely an empty symbol of the creed. Faith can come from many different beliefs, such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and even virtuous pagans can resist the lure of darkness if their faith is true.
- "True Faith" is a song by New Order, produced by Stephen Hague. It was the first New Order single since their debut "Ceremony" to be issued in the UK as two separate 12" singles. The second 12" single features two remixes of "True Faith" by Shep Pettibone. Both versions of the 12" (and also the edited 7") also include the song "1963". "True Faith" is one of New Order's most popular songs. A "True Faith" remix 12" single and CD single were released in 1994, and another "True Faith" remix 12" single and CD single were released in 2001. The 1994 remix charted in the UK at number 9.
- The story's main character is Nigel Gibson, an unremarkable teenager growing up in Thatcher's Britain, tomented at school by bullying teachers and members of the school's Christian student group, who are variously deluded or hypocritical. After a Christian girl mistakes his romantic interest in her for a spiritual one and turns a date at a pub into a religious discussion group, Nigel meets Terry Adair, a recently widowed man whose bereavement has driven him insane. Nigel follows Terry home, intrigued by his intention to kill God, and discovers that Terry has planned a one-man terrorist campaign against churches, hoping to draw God out into the open so he can finish Him off. Terry discovers Nigel and forces him to join his campaign, and as the violence escalatates other anti-God forces make
- You have a profound religious faith that protects you from “evil” supernatural beings such as demons and vampires. To enjoy this protection, you must actively assert your faith by wielding a physical symbol revered by your religion (e.g., crucifix, Torah, or Koran), chanting, dancing, or whatever else is appropriate to your beliefs. If you wish to use this ability in combat – to repel zombies, for instance – then you must choose the Concentrate maneuver each turn, and can do nothing else. For as long as you assert your faith, no malign supernatural entity (GM’s judgment as to what this covers) may approach within one yard of you. If one is forced into this radius, it must leave by the most direct route possible, as if it suffered from Dread (p. 132). If it cannot leave without coming close

- Description: Avicia purges all impurity from the minds of nearby friendly squads and fills them with true faith, slowly increasing their morale.
- You have a profound religious faith that protects you from “evil” supernatural beings such as demons and vampires. To enjoy this protection, you must actively assert your faith by wielding a physical symbol revered by your religion (e.g., crucifix, Torah, or Koran), chanting, dancing, or whatever else is appropriate to your beliefs. If you wish to use this ability in combat – to repel zombies, for instance – then you must choose the Concentrate maneuver each turn, and can do nothing else. For as long as you assert your faith, no malign supernatural entity (GM’s judgment as to what this covers) may approach within one yard of you. If one is forced into this radius, it must leave by the most direct route possible, as if it suffered from Dread (p. 132). If it cannot leave without coming closer, it must make a Will roll. On a success, it may run past you to escape, pushing you aside if necessary (but using only the minimum force required to escape). On a failure, the monster is cowed. It must cower, helplessly, and cannot move, defend itself, or take any other action. To keep True Faith, you must behave in a manner consistent with your religion. You will nearly always have to take and adhere to one or more of the traits listed under Self-Imposed Mental Disadvantages (p. 121). In effect, True Faith comes with a built-in Pact limitation (p. 113); do not apply this modifier again. You do not have to be kind, loving, or law-abiding, however. A violent bigot or religious terrorist can be just as sincere in his religious devotion as a saintly ascetic.

The second 12" single features two remixes of "True Faith" by Shep Pettibone. Both versions of the 12" (and also the edited 7") also include the song "1963". "True Faith" is one of New Order's most popular songs. The single peaked at number four in the United Kingdom on its original release in 1987. The single also became the first New Order single to chart on the Hot 100 in the United States that same year and their first ever Top 40 hit, peaking at number 32. A "True Faith" remix 12" single and CD single were released in 1994, and another "True Faith" remix 12" single and CD single were released in 2001. The 1994 remix charted in the UK at number 9.
- The story's main character is Nigel Gibson, an unremarkable teenager growing up in Thatcher's Britain, tomented at school by bullying teachers and members of the school's Christian student group, who are variously deluded or hypocritical. After a Christian girl mistakes his romantic interest in her for a spiritual one and turns a date at a pub into a religious discussion group, Nigel meets Terry Adair, a recently widowed man whose bereavement has driven him insane. Nigel follows Terry home, intrigued by his intention to kill God, and discovers that Terry has planned a one-man terrorist campaign against churches, hoping to draw God out into the open so he can finish Him off. Terry discovers Nigel and forces him to join his campaign, and as the violence escalatates other anti-God forces make themselves known, building up to a climactic confrontation with the SAS, and a final dénouement where Nigel confronts his chief tormentor. Thematically, True Faith is the first comic in which Ennis explored the subjects which he has become associated with: disdain for organised religion and its attendant hypocrisy, the desire to hold God to account, the armed forces, crude political satire, gruesome violence and allusions to popular action movies are all present in True Faith.
- True Faith is a power held by the truly devout. With True Faith, for example, a brandished cross can have an effect on a Vampire, Fallen, Mage, Werewolf, Wraith or Changeling instead of being merely an empty symbol of the creed. Faith can come from many different beliefs, such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and even virtuous pagans can resist the lure of darkness if their faith is true.
