"mixed xenos parties" edition

Previous Thread: For all your questions on Dark Heresy (1st and 2nd Editions), Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War.
Not the wargame, not Chapter Master, not Space Hulk. Inquisitor is okay, but not many people know about it.

Ulisses-Spiel, very well known in Germany. It's set post Gathering Storm, uses a Shadowrun-esque D6 dice pool, and is a unified line with Marines, Humans, and Xenos all playable in the core book.

what's your favorite kind of mission/session?

Reposting because I spent too much time typing it out
First, establish how her order perceived romantic relationships (advice above is a good indicator - they’re not catholic nuns, but are extremely dedicated)
Secondly, SoB player needs to work out whether the her character fully conforms with the rules and norms of her order - inquisition is full of oddballs after all
Thirdly, based on the character development above, determine what are the sister’s preference - would she be potentially smitten by display of gentlemanly she hadn’t experienced, acts of virtue or plain old badassery? Perhaps the inquisitor is not her type at all? Romance is more than a fellowship test, the inquisitor will need to conquer her heart and ensure neither diverge from their duties? Will it be a forbidden romance, with the sister breaking the regulations of her order for love or the pair getting together a bit more like mere mortals?

And most importantly READ THIS PART FOR EMPEROR’S SAKE - discuss the plans with your players to make sure both parties are okay with romance so nobody gets creeped out, especially if the SoB player is a girl. There is nothing more uncomfortable for everyone than to see someone trying to hit on a fellow player through their character. Sit down, discuss the idea and ensure everyone is okay to proceed. This is very important considering the inquisitor will be in position of power so you need to thread lightly if you want to have a good campaign.

Continuing from the last thread as well.
>My opinion: SoB aren't modern catholic nuns, there are no sources that stat that they got an adeptus-wide celibacy/chastity vow (on the contrary, see above).
The Blood of Martyrs supplement explicitly refers to the Adepta Sororitas as chaste.
>A strong relationship might be shunned upon as it may lure the sister away from her order, but as the SoB doesn't own anything (it all belongs to the order), it probably wouldn't cause too many issues even if there was a wedding or equivalent arrangement.
Technically a wedding would have issues even outside a chastity vow. As the individuals sisters also belong to the order for life. They're explicitly and obviously based on catholic nuns and in the case of militant orders, also monastic military orders like the Space Marines. So yes, there'd be a huge issue with it.

In general, there's huge issues with peoples interpretations of the the Adepta Sororitas as being allowed to have romantic relationships and the like. Because it deliberately ignores a huge part of what inspire their creation both in theme and execution. And frankly, it doesn't make sense with their portrayal and any reasonable interpretation of the fluff-text about them. They're warrior-nuns, not your waifu.

The only Sororitas I can see not being chaste are the Famulous orders. But that's only if you go full Bene Gesserit with them.

They already said the game works in a matter of tiers, which denote maximum dice pools w/ bennies, and that a single pc can be brought up 2 tiers max, or down 1 tier.
By their example, an experienced human interrogator/scion could potentially throw down weight like a space marine., but never like a GD/DP/LS, which are all tier 5, or a Harlequin, which is tier 4.
>I am curious if they will find a way to make it at least somewhat palatable or if it would be a complete mess.
I think you are grossly misinformed on what the game actually is due to internet memery and your own assumptions.
>discuss the plans with your players to make sure both parties are okay with romance so nobody gets creeped out, especially if the SoB player is a girl. There is nothing more uncomfortable for everyone than to see someone trying to hit on a fellow player through their character
This.
There was an unpleasant situation that came about last game rounding on things like this.

>what's your favorite kind of mission/session?
Depends on my pc, but basically any time the master plan goes off with no issues and I'm back in bed in time for dinner and lhos/hoes.

>The Blood of Martyrs supplement explicitly refers to the Adepta Sororitas as chaste
Show us the excerpt? Because if so that seems to be the -only- source of such a claim.

>They're warrior-nuns, not your waifu
Those are fighting words, user.

Seriously, I wasn’t aware about the blood of martyrs specifying they’re meant to stay away from relationships, this is a great find, thanks.

The chastity vow is relatively specific to the catholic church and is tied to the life of Christ. In a religion where God had numerous partners (sensei), I don't think it would be so important (example: Islam).
There are protestant monastic orders that don't impose celibacy, too.

I agree on celibacy.

Throwing in my two cents here: I've also heard the term "brides to the emporer" at least once before. This would also imply celibacy.
