Role
Command words: role
Permission: JuniorAdmin
The role command is used to edit chargen roles, which are selected by player characters during character creation. They can also be added to NPCs.
Roles are used to control class and subclass (if you use them), starting locations, and plot-specific backgrounds. They are separated into role types, and each character may have zero or one of each role type. For example, a character may have only one family role but may choose none, if your settings permit them to do so. That setting is controlled by the chargen storyboards.
The syntax to edit roles is as follows:
role list - lists all of the roles
role show <which> - shows information about a role
role edit <which> - opens a role for editing
role edit - an alias for role show on your currently edited role
role close - no longer edit the role that you are editing

role set cost <resource> <amount> - sets this role to cost a certain amount of resource

role set total <#> - sets the maximum number of total characters who may ever take this role
