[QUOTE="Sarellion, post: 2099667, member: 6254"] I thought of keeping the numbers of the Praetorii branch below the number of the imperial masks, somewhere around 50 to 60. And a bunch of wizards in the other departments who do research, analyze items, testify for duels and the usual bunch of wizardly activities, bringing it up to somewhere around 120. These are the usual scholar types with a con of 6 to 8. Using the number of imperial masks as point of reference seems reasonable to me as the senate is the counterpart of the grand monarch after all and the senate is the voice of the Houses. At least its full of pillar members. If you think that they aren´t enough human and orcish candidates you could include gnomes, too. Not every gnome spellcaster is in the Praes, or? And the Praes could use the spies. What bothers me the most is the Praes Thantos plot to neutralize a potential threat to their dominion by using magic. They pretty could have reached what they wanted by using normal intrigue and politics. They got all their enforcing powers back, outsourced a lot of the drudgeworks but were not fully successful in dismantling them as a whole. That´s pretty impressive without pulling off such a big, dangerous and arrogant plot. After your post the whole arcaneum just looks like a bunch of morons who can be ripped off horribly in their own field of expertise and don´t even see it, even when the Praetorii wear the evidence the whole day. I wanted an colleague of competent experts with some wizards strewn in, not a bunch of fools who cannot even fulfill their most important duty of protecting the senate. [/QUOTE]
