Sounds useful. I’ll take it!
Presumably I can’t wield a blade much, though, right? Which means we’re a little light on the mayhem side of things.
Both. Sex is highly encouraged, as long as it is among the laity and within the bounds of marriage. Got to keep producing new worshippers, right?
But the clergy are considered married to the church.
There is a mother superior in the kingdom. The king is her uncle.
Only a fool would travel the countryside without a weapon. You could certainly carry a small sword or axe and wear some light armor.
Right, I know I can have one; I just imagine I’m not that good with them.
Do I have a weapon (probably something cheap like a staff), or can I get by on my looks and order?
If it’s not closed, I’m interested. Just assign me one of the available pre-made characters. I feel like jumping in blind.
If it is closed, I’ll lurk.
I’ll leave that up to you. It says whether you do in the book, but if you don’t you can always buy one.
If you don’t, you can always be safe by surrounding yourself with big burly men. There is no shortage of them around you.

Yllaria, how about taking the mercenary? You can be the brawn of the group.
It’s a shame I’m not really comfortable role-playing a sexual harasser, because the raw material here is stunning.

Age: 24
Gender: Male
Occupation: Merchant
Reason for Travel: Current journeyman of merchant guild who has been tasked with setting up a new trade route with whatever closest major trading city it is we’re traveling to. If I succeed, I will be promoted to master and be head of that route. (Most of the masters in my guild became such by the same method. It acts as both a test and guarantees that the guild has a capable member overseeing the administration of each route.)
Perfect.
Damn. Too late to get that scribe job!
If you have need of another similarly useless(ie: non fighting)/handicapped role, I’d love to take something odd/quirky out of the ordinary…
Otherwise, I can lurk.
