I have always enjoyed my non-cabaled characters more than my cabaled ones. Mostly because whenever I have tried to think outside the box of “Follow or die.” I have been unsuccessful in getting into the cabal.

For instance, I had a warrior who I tried to make an intellectual that came to the conclusion that magic would indeed destroy the world if not brought under control. The interview went something like this.

[BATTLE]: You don’t hate magic and mages?

Me: I do not hate anyone. I merely agree that magic must be controlled and contained or the warping of nature will only end in destruction of the World, as we know it.

[BATTLE]: If you do not hate magic you can not be a Battlerager.

Me: If our philosophies coincide and I agree with all you believe, why must the source of that belief be questioned? I will battle magic with all of the force you do. I just do not hate.

[BATTLE]: If you do not hate magic you can not be a Battlerager.

Another time, I was making a Shaman for Empire. The Empress told me that I must take the Bloodoath to become a citizen. I told her I could not take the oath because my soul was not mine to give. It belonged to the Imm I had pledged to follow.

Answer: All who do not join the Empire are enemies of the Empire.

I just wish we could get a little wiggle room in the Cabals and we might see more diversity in the roles.
