This is an area to discuss the finer points of The Brotherhood Of Steel.
Leader:
John Maxson
Strengths:
Powerful Military (Earlier Power Armour) Distilled individual skill from personal experience
Public Order
Scavenging (Particularly Technology)
Science/Engineer Specialist (Scribes)
Engineer/XP Specialist (Knights)
Weaknesses:
Slow Growth
Slavery
Culture
External(Land) Production/Improvement
Insular Economy
Uniques Qualities:
The Elder Council
The Paladin Caste
Assault Paladins
Squires
The Chain That Binds Doctrine
Anti-Slavery
Those born in the Brotherhood that want to be neither Scribes, Knights nor Paladins are free to leave – the Brotherhood does not believe in forcing anyone to serve them against their will.
Scribe Castes
Castes (Elder, Paladin, Knight, Scribe, Initiate)
Scribes are the scientists, responsible for researching and reverse engineering recovered technologies, maintaining the Brotherhood's scientific knowledge, and even experimenting with new ones. The drive towards innovation and invention is rare and came to be seen as unorthodox in the late 23rd century. There are three Scribe orders within the Brotherhood, focusing on different types of technology: the Order of the Sword (offensive), the Shield (defensive), and the Quill (non-combative).
Knights are the craftsmen and foot soldiers of the Brotherhood. They maintain the Brotherhood's stockpile of technology, repair and providing technical services where they are needed, as well as producing new weapons to replenish stocks and provide trading goods. Knights also perform patrols, scouting assignments, and support the Paladins in offensive operations. Those that focus on combat training, may be eligible to become Paladins, the protectors of the Brotherhood.
Paladins are the primary combat force of the Brotherhood, in charge of all security and outside activities. Equipped with the best military technology the Brotherhood has to offer, they are some of the most fearsome foes in the wasteland. The ranks of the Paladins are reinforced by promoting exceptional Knights. It's generally impossible to become a Paladin any other way.
Initiates are the youngest and/or least experienced members of the Brotherhood, whose sole purpose is training and learning to become a valued member of either the Knights or the Scribes.
The Elders are the highest ranking members of the Brotherhood, its leaders and decision makers, determining everything from meals to the course of campaigns. Typically, only Paladins are eligible to become Elders, but exceptions can be made for extraordinary members of other branches. Regardless of their branch of service, Elders are elected into the council by other council members, with the High Elder chosen by the council (although the candidate can turn down the offer).
