Hi all,
I need to some help! I want to create a Dark Caste PC to play in a Dark Age era game. However I am having a problem in interpreting the entry for the Dark Caste in the clan affiliations. To quote:
" Clan characters that fall into the castes (or sub-castes) described on p. 61 receive the following fixed XP. A Clanborn character that does not fit in any of these listed castes is considered Dark Caste and must choose the Pirate sub-affiliation under Affiliation: Independent (see p. 63) as if using the Changing Affiliations rule (see p. 53)."
The problem with this is that, if I am reading this correctly, instead of getting the individual Clan XP and Caste XP, a Dark Caste PC only gets half the XP for the sub-affiliation of Pirate, then the numbers don't even come close to adding up correctly (Still doesn't even if you don't halve the XP granted. Even if you interpret this as having to start out as a Clan PC from a Caste and then become Independent (Pirate) as if changing Affiliations, it doesn't help if you want to be born Dark Caste!
Any help would be useful!!!
