> Um, OK. I'll tell you what I would do. As a Servant, it's your duty to help people. You'd be surprised how many more people you can help if you carry a basic array of pills/potions/scrolls/staves. Simple scenario: You're the only Servant on when someone sends you a tell from one of those places that you can teleport out of, but not walk. Having two teleport potions (one for you, one for them)in your sack is nice here. Ditto for "I'm plagued, and in the Underdark." (sure, you -might- be able to altruism it onto yourself and fight your way to the surface, but I'd go with the pill of health), or watching a storm giant get tripped to death by some A-P vs. being able to hand him a flying potion or read a scroll of flying at him, and watching the wraths fly.
Points well taken, though either way it involves a change in character perspective.
> As an aside, you are wearing a necklace of prayer beads outside of your deity's shrine. That's all the excuse your average Rager will need. Bashbashbash.
You would not believe how many ragers I've explained that necklace to, and "gotten away with".
> Don't let Ragers dictate your character. If they're smacking Servants around on the off chance that you might have a potion in some container, they really don't have a lot to do. Being that that vast majority (not all) of Rager roles call for killing lightwalker mages, they're hardly a compatible ally for the Haven.
Servants and Ragers, as a general, enjoy a very hesitant peace. Sure, pure mages are still hunted, but the whole haven isn't. And, lucky me, I just happen to be a major liason between Dawn and Battle for a variety of in game reasons. I would hesitate to say allies. But I would definately say not enemies, and really, that's all that matters in the Haven.
