Clan childhood modules
« on: 12 February 2015, 00:03:51 »
Are clan apprenticeship and TB/FB sibko the only legal stage 2 modules for clan characters (especially trueborns, and not dark caste)?

Have you met the clans? Words like "Naïve" and "misguided" are not enough to describe the notion that a conquest of the IS by the clans would result in a Utopian pacifistic society.

Technically they could take several of the other modules, but unless it's a clan like the Wolf Exiles, which can allow for easy transition from Clan to Inner Sphere, it really shouldn't be allowed by the GM.

Street and Backwoods are listed as options for dark caste, but I was thinking more trueborn kids who didn't make the cut for the sibko training.

They would be assigned to the lower castes so depending upon when during their training they were cut, their "module" would be a hybrid between the Trueborn sibko and whatever lower caste clan apprenticeship they were assigned to to reflect that they started but didn't complete their military training.  Peri would be an example of such a character.  When attacked by Etienne Balzac's hoodlums she tries to use barely remembered combat training after years in the scientist caste.

Peri washed out of MechWarrior training, not the childhood sibko. The transition from childhood sibko to warrior training was, IIRC, right at the beginning of the first Jade Phoenix novel.
