Your immortal soul vacates your body on death! surely you must understand the sweperation of body and soul. I merely require the discarded husk you leave behind. RECYCLE ok!

Technically that's reusing. Recycling would be letting the body be consumed by scavengers or decomposers.

Alright. I've scrubbed any mention of the Iron Roses and as a Mayonite Paladin and just being a devout follower (but I can change that too if needed).

Also made her more of a loser.

To contextualise why former IR and paladins are pretty much out-of-rank:
  • The Iron Roses are by and large made up of people who have already proven themselves. The order as a whole is much stronger than any military force of remotely comparable size. Even the people who get in for other weird reasons are probably Rank 6 at a starting point. Long story short? They're not comparable to average adventurers.
  • Paladins, on the other hand, are both highly trained and supported by the church and the goddesses. Blessed equipment is ubiquitous, Reonites have literal flaming weapons... and as part of their duties they're often knights errant, who go out and do standard adventurer jobs which can be entirely unsupported. So maybe a paladin literally fresh out of training would be Rank 6 or 7.
  • Combining both of them you have a paladin that was exceptional enough to be inducted into a selective knightly order. There is no way anyone of that rank would ever be able to masquerade as a novice.


I think the rank breakdown is like...
1-3: Total novices or those with no talent whatsoever.
4-7: The average competency one would expect, whether by lack of experience or lack of skill or lack of drive to push harder.
8-Knight: Experienced, strong, capable; generally at this point there's less and less jobs that you aren't ALLOWED to take (if any), just given a safety warning. Like, nobody's going to let a rank 7 go dragon-hunting. Page? Sure, just be careful... and ffs take friends.
Queen+King+Arcana: Congratulations, bards are writing songs about you.

Might have undersold Tristram, then, considering he has the same background as Gerard save for jumping at the chance to be a knight after raiding the slavers. Bet I could chalk it up to difference between plinking from the back and being in the front lines.

Or simply taking a slow pace to start things off with the adventuring career. Bet it won't matter since their niches are wildly different.

Hey, so Mellifleur actually provides a neat opportunity to use the Sapient Undead backstory I had cooked up for the last iteration but got shut down. I'm thinking of playing a Sword or a Coin, so perhaps my character could have been, in life, a mercenary who was paid to escort Melllifleur through an incredibly dangerous area or some other risky task for the sect, on the condition that with his consent he would be raised as a Sapient Undead should he die during his task?

So basically, he would be a Sapient Undead sellsword and strong associate and ally of Mellifleur and her sect who chose to become an Adventurer after he was raised.

What do you guys think?

I will have to polity decline, due to both Mellifleur's role as a healer making it highly unlikely she'd even let him get to the point of needing to be raised, coupled with the logistical issue of the fact that one can't just gurantee "sentient undead" as an outcome of raising the dead.

Otherwise do you really think her companion would be mindless?

Okay, I think I'm going to have to put my foot down.

Sapient undead are going to go off the playables list. You need to ask first and give Rain and myself a very good reason why your character is a sapient undead and why this should be allowed if you want to play one. Please keep in mind they are extremely rare.

Damn, there goes that idea. My original plan was to create a sentient undead that woke up in a field a while back with no memory of their former life, not even realising their undead nature for the first few months after awakening, given sapient undead look like normal people as far as I can tell. The idea was to have their inability to find out who they were previously and the realisation that it really doesn’t matter be the basis for their personality and the lack of memories being their drive for becoming an adventurer. Unfortunately, that’s more of a character gimmick than a good reason to play a sapient undead, so I don’t suppose that’d be acceptable? Figured I'd check anyway.
