Ranks, Initiate Mentorship

Back to Codex

Initiate Rank
This rank is awarded upon registering for enlistment in Discord. To progress to to Knight-Initiate, Scribe-Initiate, or Lancer-Initiate, Initiates must undergo a mentorship with the Chapter's Paladins. Upon completion of this mentorship, Initiates may choose which Pathway to follow: that of the Knight, Lancer, or Scribe.

Working Comms
In order to successfully complete their mentorship, all Initiates must have working mics to use in the field. The Chapter's Paladins cannot successfully evaluate an Initiate they cannot communicate with.

Paladin Mentorships
Initiates must undergo three separate mentorships. An Initiate must squad up with a Paladin and play with them throughout a normal play session. The Paladin can decide, given the Initiate's level and experience, what exactly the mentorship will entail. Often it involves running events, helping the Initiate finish quests, or even taking on the Scorchbeast Queen.

At the culmination of the mentorship play session, the Paladin will evaluate the Initiate.
 * Do they mesh with BoSAC's culture?
 * Are they good people and fun to play with?
 * Are there any potential personality conflicts?
 * Are they following the Chapter's rules?

If the Paladin gets a good feel for the Initiate, the Initiate will be awarded 1 Karma.

Initiates must earn 3 total Karma across three separate play sessions with three different Paladins in order to progress.

Choosing a Path
After earning 3 Karma, the Initiate may choose the Path they will walk: Knight, Lancer, or Scribe, and progress to Rank 1 (Knight-Initiate, Lancer-Initiate, Scribe-Initiate) in the path.

All other ranking up requirements remain the same, including the completion of Belly of the Beast to progress to Rank 2.

Awarding Karma
After a Paladin vets an Initiate during a session, they award them Karma using the following command: <-giverep @username>
