Have a glance down the Farmer occupations, and see if you come up with a great set of weapon skills. If they were recruited straight in the army to actually _fight_ (and not to act as squires, or whatever), as Graeme proposed, they certainly would be breaking their class restrictions. (Brevet field promotions, anyone?)

I agree with this, mostly. At least it avoids the sub-word. Probably something like the Vinga situation pertains: cultists use mostly Orlanth (Thunderous, in this case) magic, with a single special spell (or so) at the Barntar shrine. Any guesses as to what it is? (I have an uncanny feeling it might feature "Plow" in the title.)

Well done. Bonus marks for "politely".

Alex.
