I'd say not! There are no human shields that cover all locations, so I'd think that implies some kind of relative limit on the size of a shield.

This is exactly the situation with my Humakti character, about whom a seemingly simple(!) ethical question sparked this whole infertility/insanity debate in the first place! A friend and I were generating characters for a new RQ game, and we both rolled practically identical stats, and both got Noble as our occupation. So we decided we were brothers. He and I both independently decided to join Storm Bull and Humakt respectively, and so a family reputaion was born ...
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This is also the case with my Humakti, he is an initiate of Orlanth Rex and Humakt. I believe that he should sever his family ties and Orlanth membership upon achieving Sword status, and this ritual severance should include protection from the Orlanth spirits of reprisal. Thoughts?

The same seemed to be true in Simon Hibbs' RQ game, although we didn't stay around at home for long. The first scenario had the PCs running up and down stream looking for the source of an infection in our herds, and if there were CA acolytes around, they's have sorted it out themselves. BTW, welcome back to the Digest, Simon.

I had *great* fun running a brief RQ where one player was an AA troll trader. Two NPCs, brothers, human AA worshippers from Adari, turned up called Kroitzvelt and Yakov, and I characterised them with outrageous eastern-european accents. Although they never really did anything, the players were totally scared of them, and while inventing loads of conspiracy theories about them, all wrong, never dared raise a hand against them!
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Wow, I'd never seen that before! Any relative of Ginna Jar?
