Since this is a pedantic thread:

I would argue against Feudal Rank including/replacing status. Basic, at least, seems to imply that this occurs in societies where only a single form of rank utterly dominates, and, in medieval Europe, upper level clergy at least could certainly speak to knights and lords as equals without having Feudal Rank.

EDIT:

So as to be contributing to the thread:

Thief:

Either Social Stigma (Criminal Record) or an appropriate secret. Skill in Filch or Pickpocket optional, but encouraged if one wishes to play a competent thief.

A template that, for the sake of a dumb joke, uses the actual or original meaning of the title rather than the "trope" meaning of the title. Barbarian, for example, originally meant someone who did not speak Greek or follow Greek customs.
