This is similar to the type of RP I've wanted around here for a long time, I guess I never pushed for its approval, and there weren't a lot of other people who wanted it. I shouldn't think you'd want to just be "grunts" though. I don't know, maybe you guys will be better, and maybe you won't be fighting against PCs, but in the Assassin's War no one ever died except for useless NPCs. You wouldn't want that to happen, but at the same time, being grunts would probably get your characters killed off too quickly if you're being realistic about it, which isn't great either. I also wonder what exactly the IC point would be. I'm just asking questions, not saying it's a bad idea.
