The setting is primarily monotheistic with a few "fringe deities" - the main deity is Auros, a TN god who has churches with all kinds of different moral and ethical Allegiances. There's also Gaea, a nature goddess worshipped by druids, and the voodoo gods - primarily a god of death and a goddess of dancing.If you were a member of a specific Aurosean Church (which should be the most common choice for PCs IMC) then appropriate opposed Allegiances might be another Church with very different priorities, another deity, or a moral or ethical stance (Evil, Chaos, whatever) that is opposed to your beliefs.Whatever you pick, the number of people you'd have SR against is very small - whether it's all Savagers, everybody with an Evil allegiance, or everybody who worships Gaea. Quite aside from which, in a low-magic setting SR itself is going to be of limited use anyway.I did think of something like SR 6 + character level - but that means your average (say) 4th level character, who may possibly come up against a spellcaster of their "enemy" allegiance, gets their SR beat on a 10. 50/50 chance for somebody with a caster level of 1. Isn't that a bit pathetic? :\</blockquote>
