Role Creation

[tbug]

Roles are often apparently created by relievers or demonlings, who maintain it until the Symphony accepts it (at which point someone important takes it over). Do these minor celestials have to have at least five Forces, since they're in human bodies, or can a smaller celestial have a human vessel?

If I recall correctly, the only requirement for a vessel is that you need at least one Corporeal Force. There's no real requirement for matching Forces to vessel size, that I recall. So you could have a 3-Force reliever in an elephant vessel, if that were any use for anything.

Generally, though, low-Force celestials wouldn't imitate humans well enough to make good human Roles if they have less than 4-5 Forces, unless they're starting the Role as a child, which is, I think, a fairly common case.

Thanks! I won't create one-Force Role-makers, but I'll do the occasional three- or four-Force celestial.

(In fact, the celestial-created vessels, vs. ethereal-created vessels, is something mentioned in the EPG. In the EPG, small ethereal spirits do have to have small vessels. Celestials are not restricted in that regard.)
