For example, King Richard III of York (he of Shakespeare fame) had a white boar as his personal symbol. Before you go and equate Richard with boorish behavior, however, talk to folks in York and they will give you quite a different story! Not to mention, there are more than a few animals in heraldry I'd rather meet in the wild than a boar — those things can tear you to pieces!

They will be free agents, but do not have either the backing or resources of the Guild or the ability to operate under a contract. It all comes down to a tactical choice: freedom vs. privilege & obligations.FrDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459281821319914530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-32191773128321335102012-12-28T16:11:27.510-06:002012-12-28T16:11:27.510-06:00Interesting.

I can see a humorous (for the GM) situation in which a party of no higher than 5th-level PCs complains about an abusive contract, and the Guild agrees to do something about it. The PCs are happy until they are told they still have to fulfill the contract, since they have no right to break it: "Guild honor at stake, dontcha know? We just won't work with Baron von Lumpenbrain in the future. That'll show him!" :)<br /><br />Meanwhile, what of PCs who choose to remain out of any order or guild? Treated as outlaws?Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254215329246851683noreply@blogger.com
