Ok, here's the lowdown. My GM is running a campaign where history is not the same. There is nor was any Rand al'Thor, and his main GM character is a male wilder. Well, my character has discovered he can channel (male also), and A'shaman don't exist. I wanted to play an initiate apprenticed to his character. My question is, do you guys think there needs to be a tradition behind it all, or can I learn from him? (If this works out my character plans to found a group similar to the A'Shaman but not just to prepare) So whadda ya think? [Confused]

you dont need an order to learn from another... just learn from them, found an order if you want one, but it isnt really neccisary

I think the question was, if he can become a Initiate when he learns from another male...

Initiates are members of a channeling tradition. Wilders are channelers who are un-affiliated.

So if he wants to learn from another channeler without being part of a channeling tradition, he's a wilder using Weavesight a lot.

IMHO wilders are channelers who learn on their own.
(At least multiclass on their own into wilder).

But a character without channeler-levels who learns from a Wilder to channel?
Is this character also a wilder, or the first in a new tradition?

IMHO SL decision...

Well it had better be a rich mentor they're learning from because they get funds and resources for all of their adventures. Also they get formidabble protection from the one other member of their tradition. [Wink]

Yeah, I guess you could say that they could be an initiate, but it would be weird. One of the benefits of initiate is that you have the protection and stability of a large order of channelers behind you. When its only one other person... well, rather be a wilder who is observing another channeler IMO.

Yeah, I would have to agree with you skeptics for once. He would never be able to laern anything new of his own if he could only learn from the NPC, even once he became an Asha'man, hence the reason for the wilder. He could just look to him for higher learning (the NPC is higher level), but would be free to learn some things of his own as he progresses. Thanks, y'all.
