Default Re: Servant Level WTF?

Ah, now that's a role playing aesthetics question. Those are totally dependent not upon canon, but upon the relative mood, contrast, and levity of your game world. If you do play such austere interpretations of each of those Superiors, then yes, you can probably get away with a lot more role playing action that does not depend on Servant Level.

However, it's always a good idea to know canonical mechanics in case the GM ever needs to pull a string. PCs can get quite lazy if they think their threats will always work on their minions/Servants. Reminding them that there is a value to purchased servitude, just like purchased roles, is a healthy way to control power creep in your game. (***plug for Liber Servitorum***)
