Caste Status [General]

[The Hive Mind]

Prerequisites: You must be sworn to and in good standing with a sussar (whether directly or indirectly through an individual of a higher caste than you).

Benefit: You have achieved next level in the Sarcosan caste system. You receive all the social benefits of your new rank when dealing with other Sarcosans.

Normal: Most Sarcosans characters begin play as members of the asara caste.

Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you take this feat you increase in social rank by one step. This feat must be approved by the DM before it can be taken. A character may take this feat even if he did not have an opportunity to perform the appropriate acts in-character; the commitment to his place in Sarcosan society and the time spent performing the appropriate deeds is represented by the character taking this feat at the expense of another feat that would improve his capabilities during play. Under very rare circumstances, the DM may choose to award Caste Status as a bonus feat to PCs who prove themselves worthy of advancing in rank through some dramatic event during play.
