Less work that way! Plus, allows for thematic powers. I came up with these ideas before I even knew about this thread, so bear with me.Basing it on outfits would be a bit OP. because you could quickly switch between them.
Chaplain: This is a nerf and a buff to the bible: upping it's healing power while restricting it's ability to heal so that it works only if you are wearing the preacher's outfit.
Monk: This one just has so many associated good ideas. I feel like the idea to meditate is essential. It doesn't have to do anything, but it could give you random visions of elsewhere upon the station, maybe a couple seconds each? Might also heal you slowly just as more of an easter egg then anything. Also: associated traitor item: Shaolin Monk Robe. Like the westling belt but kung-fu. More powerful but with more drawbacks. It's a full outfit, it's obvious and more expensive, but you can karate-chop walls and doors.
Tech-Priest: This one has so many overpowered possibilities, it may be hard to balance. electrical resistance and a built in multitool, maybe? For all your machining needs. Also robospeak sort of goes without saying.
Imam: This is a difficult one, because there are many, many awful ideas. I think that giving them the koran as a bible reskin is a start, but also just really lame. Maybe it doesn't heal people, but does some real damage to antagonists?
I think the chaplain should move away from real life religions because there are no real life brands in goonstation so it'd make sense for there to be no religious brands too. it makes sense aesthetically.
