The Weavers are those members chosen to be the magic users and experts of the vTx clan. Choosing characters for this occupation we look at the characters knowledge of the mystic arts, role play ability, willingness to fight to the death, loyalty to past clans and ability to judge the fairness of their actions relating to others..
As the character goes up in rank in his chosen occupation, more responsibility and authority are delegated to the character. The leaders of each class underneath their Lord/Lady are picked based on ability and level. At any time another member of the group may give a notice that they wish to challenge for leadership within their group. How the group handles this will be based on the duties assigned to that class. Only members of equal status to the leader may challenge for authority. The loser drops down one rank.
For simplicity only those character with a campaign class of Mystic may be weavers. Hybrids will have to follow another path.
Responsibilities
- To bond with a Tormentor and be their advisor. Whisper into their ear when they are going to do something detrimental to the clan.
- Share their knowledge and experience with those of lesser rank and to respect those of greater rank than themselves.
- To defend the clan during wartime. During times of war the Weavers are the second line of the vTx and when their fighter falls they may challenge the killer to a deathmatch. If the challenge is not accepted they are free to challenge any member of the opposition for the duration of the war.
Authoritative Allowances
- May intercede on behalf of their Tormentor if a cleric tries to forbid the Tormentor from fighting. There must be a valid reason for the fight and the cleric must agree. If the cleric still believe the Tormentor should not fight, then the Weaver must concede to the cleric's wishes.
- May train their Tormentor in the ways of magic, effectively granting them the occupation of hybrid. The Tormentor must first have an arena kill and must agree to the teaching of course.
- May Train a hybrid Tormentor in the ways of magic, allowing them to master the arts of magic so to speak. This will change the Tormentors class to that of Weaver and they will be expected to follow the rules for Weavers from that point on. Their Tormentor status is forever gone and the characters profession changes to Mystic.
