Can you Initiative 'without' joining the club?, initiation groups and the technical info Options

[Cold-Dragon]

So....it's cheaper to get a group of people together to initiate - is this because a magical group has extra resources, or purely the fact that everyone working together on it share the babysteps of initiative, saving everyone a little extra effort (aka karma) by doing so? Could you just find a few fellow mages that want to take the leap, make a circle in your warehouse, and do it there? Can you all get up and say farewells afterwards?


It's an interesting idea really, avoiding the magical groups to gain the benefits they provide in this step, and the risks it involves doing either - Suppose a teaching mage is going to initiate himself - would he take along a student for his first initiation too, so they can both benefit a little and the student gets the help of his master, but backs off while he does his own quest?

queries, answers, solutions, 'what the heck are you talking about!?' desired. :) Would you like to give them?


..and yeah, it's suppose to be initiate! :P damn fingers typing before my head things it...
