Shhhhh! don't say that, you'll have the RQ grognards up in arms ;-)
Actually, I agree - I don't want my current character to become a disciple of Issaries. Indeed, as an aside, I'm not certain that is reasonable to allow a PC to become a disciple of Issaries - it is too easy to for a disciple-merchant to support himself in a lavish fashion without the need for supporters to provide material support (of course, they are still essential for magical support and physical defense).
