[QUOTE="DarkNymph, post: 8661584, member: 7036550"] Hiya! So my friend introduced to D&d a few days ago so I’m new to the game :) So just what the title says… how to make Krypteia Spartan? Which Class and Subclass would be perfect for it? For info on Krypteia: “Krypteia ("hidden, secret"), was an ancient Spartan state institution involving young Spartan men. It was an exclusive element of Sparta's state-sponsored child-rearing system in which participation afforded its members, known as kryptai (κρύπται, members of the Krypteia), the opportunity to test their skills further and to prove themselves worthy of the Spartan polity. As an organisation, the Crypteia's mandate and practices are still debated by historians The Crypteia had young Spartan men, probably between the ages of 21 and 30, who were described as "those judged to have the most intelligence." The men were known as hêbôntes, one of the many social categories that preceded full Spartiate citizenship, and had completed their rearing at the agoge with such success that they were marked out as potential future leaders by Spartan officials.The training kryptai endured was undoubtedly harsh, but the way in which their training was conducted is debated. According to Plato, the kryptai did not use footwear during the winter and slept without shelter. He also describes them as being unsupervised and as depending on themselves alone for survival. Plato's description might seem to imply that the kryptai were forced to be independent, but some scholars think that they may have had attendants at certain times to watch over them. Every autumn, Spartan ephors would declare war on the helot population which would allow them to kill a helot without fear of punishment.The chosen kryptai were then sent out into the countryside armed with daggers with the instructions to kill any helot they encountered travelling the roads and tending to fields they deemed too plentiful.” From Wiki [URL="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypteia"]Crypteia - Wikipedia[/URL] Here’s a video one: [MEDIA=youtube]oS6HVhG2iY0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
