Lots of good sense, starting with....

I was thinking initiate. Since most people are "just" initiates. But presumably that means the same thing with a -5?

So if I want an idea of the speed of the average travelling Vanganthi, I take their probable Affinity score, subtract 5, and compare that with the Fast of, say, a horse? 10W. Any Warrior keyword person gets "run" at 17 as a starter, I think?
Any guesses what the "average" affinity score would be? Reading p274 tables.. 10W ish?

This all makes good sense to me. And it also explains a puzzle in OiD. Why, given her experience, is Kallyr's CC so (comparatively) crap? Well, spending the first ten years of her combat career as a Vanganthi might have something to do with it?
