Role

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 new <type> <name> - creates a new role role clone <which> <newName> - clones an existing role to a new one role set name <name> - renames this role role set type <type> - changes the type of this role role set blurb - drops you into an editor to enter the blurb in chargen role set cost <resource> <amount> - sets this role to cost a certain amount of resource role set cost <resource> 0 - removes a cost from this role role set prog <which> - sets the prog that controls whether this appears as an option in chargen role set prog clear - removes a prog; role will always be available role set alive <#> - sets the maximum number of living characters who can have this role role set alive 0 - removes any maximum number of living characters restriction role set total <#> - sets the maximum number of total characters who may ever take this role role set total 0 - removes any maximum number of total characters restriction role set approvers <account1> [<account2>] ... - sets mandatory approvers for this role role set approvers clear - removes mandatory approvers from this role role set permission <level> - sets a permission level required to approve this role role set view <level> - sets a permission level required to view this role as a builder role set expired - toggles this role being expired and no longer available role set clan <clan> rank <rank> - sets a rank in a clan that is given (also adds a clan) role set clan <clan> remove - removes a clan membership given by this role role set clan <clan> paygrade <paygrade> - sets a paygrade in a clan membership given by this role role set clan <clan> appointment <which> - toggles an appointment in a clan membership given by this role role set currency <which> <amount> - sets currency to be given to the character at commencement role set currency <which> 0 - removes currency given by this role role set trait <which> <boost> - sets a boost or penalty to an attribute or trait at commencement role set trait <which> 0 - removes a boost or penalty to an attribute or trait at commencement role set trait <which> <boost> boost - gives the boost only if the attribute or skill is already possessed role set merit <which> - toggles this role giving a merit or flaw
