[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 2067392, member: 892"] I would be inclined to say that the role played is important. If the character is played as a lady, that is different than if the character is played as a knight. Personally, I still favour the idea that if a "lady" is doing damage in combat, then she doesn't NEED protection from knights. The whole point about helping ladies in the medeival period was that they couldn't help themselves and thus needed to be protected. But some player characters break this mold. Lady Knights would be one of them. Lady Archers another. Lady Druids who are obviously casting lightning bolts would be another. Ladies who are more subtle with their magics would still count as ladies in need of protection, since as far as anyone can tell, they are helpless. Or at least that is my two cents. I am not too sure about "group nobility" as then I think some characters that want high nobility will simply be hosed no matter what, since some characters will "cheat" no matter what. [/QUOTE]
