One of my favorite stories. My dad used to read that one too me at night after he got home from work.

Still, sounds cool.

Thanks. :-) It wasn't half bad. My players enjoyed it. I didn't even get to make use of it till the third story arc though because the first two were all about the set up. Still, worked like a charm.

I believe this is where I originally pulled the rules and then modified it for my campaign bible - though I do remember having the idea long before that. Heck, I think this was something we discussed during the playtest. I know Rank and Status were picked apart heavily.
