[QUOTE="Tarin Greenflame, post: 127640, member: 2468"] Sigh... :confused: The clerics and paladins are the ones that would be most likely to be ranked in the first place, and the least likely to skirm or use guerilla tactics, especially paladins. People are marked on the field because, as I have said more than once now, they must be easily identified on the field by their fellow troops, for sending/recieving orders, amongst other things. It seems I need to explain more, so...The grunts must know who the leaders are, to know who to listen to, as the lower officers need to with the higher-ups, and they also need to know what division everyone is in, whether it be medical, artillery, or infantry. Finally everyone must be marked in some way or another in order to tell who is a friend or foe. That is how it has always been done, in order to keep organization on the otherwise chaotic battlefield. Unless the theocracy will want disorganized troops, then they will mark their troops just like most every other organized army has in history. The clerics and paladins would be unlikely to use trickery anyway, unless they didn't have paladins, or paladins that were fooled into not knowing their homeland uses dishonorable tactics.
