Theban Tribunal from what I have read so far is a very democratic tribunal and has lots of Elected offices. Queasitors are just the prosecutors/Defense Attorney/law reference clerks. The actual investigations and judgement is done by a panel of Magistrates (one of the elected offices).
Your status in tribunal is based on tokens and shards.
The tokens are earned by service to tribunal: Collecting vis from tribunal sources, Serving elected office, accusing someone of crime and getting conviction, brewing longevity potion for other mages in tribunal, Healing those in need, etc.....
shards by refusing to do your civic duty or conviction of crime or accusing someone of crime and failing to get conviction.
If you have no shards and no active longevity potion, you can petition tribunal to get your potion made for you. One mage per year is awarded their potion being made.
Good idea with the summaries. I am looking forward to the tribunal book more and more. I just hope Hermes will bring it to the far flung corners of Sweden…
Oh yeah, some interesting things about the church from TSE.
There are the white robed priests that can marry but won't advance far in the heirarchy and the black robed priests that are celibate and have chance for advancement to the priesthood.
Status and such in the Theban tribunal is matter of Token and Shards. Tokens are items gained for service to tribunal and is positive rep type item.
Things that can get tokens:
serving in tribunal office
gathering tribunal vis from vis source
charging someone with hermetic crime and winning case
brewing longevity potion for mage in tribunal at request of treasurer
and similiar
Shards are the opposite:Those are signs of someone who has messed up
refused to accept nomination for tribunal office (even if not elected)
conviction on any sort of hermetic crime
charging someone with hermetic crime who is found innocent
etc...
Having a shard or two is not a disaster though more than that can get you kicked out of tribunal or marched. It still means you have been a bad boy or girl at some point.
Hermetic police record! Thank you for informing me on that!
It may be relevant for my character. He wants to ingratiate himself with the tribunal for his university project, so he'll have to collect tokens. And I'll have to get that book for Christmas!
Guys, I have to bow out of this one. Time constraints and extra work and holidays and such.
I am also burned out. I am in the process of shutting down my own game (or at least putting it on hiatus).
Either one could work though I think the second is perhaps better.
The first might put you in conflict with your own covenant and then tribunal. I know Kalliste might have fun with the second, especially since she uses MuCo to take other sex at times.
Hey y'all, I have about 8 or 9 Ghosts to write up for Romolo. Before I started, I wanted to see if anyone was interested in playing any of them. I have a few concepts in mind, but there is still plenty of room to add a few more! The concepts I was toying with were: A Praetorian, Venetian Criminals, Pirates ( thinking Crete ), a Wili ( Thinking a minor noblewoman of some kind ), a Moro... and perhaps someone to fit the archtypical 'Black Knight' role.
Like I said, I need a few more concepts, so ideas are always welcome!
