Of course, IMC I follow the same method someone else already described - all the PrCs are world specific and in most cases PCs don't know much about them until later and joining them is a long-winded process rather than "just adding a new (albeit Prestigious) class" - different methods for everyone <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
