Split Path (Chaos)
You walk more than one Path of Chaos, suffering double the torments but in so doing delaying the inevitable end.
Prerequisites: At least one step on a Path of Chaos.
Benefits: The first time you fail a backlash check after selecting this feat, you do not take an additional step along your Path of Chaos. Instead, you take the first step on a new path. From that point on, you walk two paths. Each time you would be forced to take a step, you choose one or the other path to progress along. In the beginning, you must automatically select the new path, until you have taken as many steps along it as you have along your original path; from that point on, you must alternate steps along each path. You gain the benefits and suffer the penalties of each path, and are lost should you reach the tenth step of either. Should you wish to Purge steps, you must negate each step along each path separately and you cannot purge a step if it would leave more than one step difference between your two paths. For example, a mage who has progressed 5 steps along one path and 4 along another could Purge a step from his first path, leaving him on the 4th steps in each, but could not purge a step from his second path.
Special: This feat can only be selected once.
