If a noble is related by blood to some commoner, then he deserves his nobility to be questioned.

That game option was removed years ago for abuses.

Still, I think I will run for judge next month, and enact a reign of terror.

Hmm yeah.  It's bad that some people didn't quite get what it was meant for. 

Still, if you're related to a commonner, you're not a noble.  In the case of adventurers, it is them who need to prove that they are related to nobles, not the other way around. 

And please tell me in what realm you're planning to start a reign of terror, so that I can start a character there when I retire my eldest char (or to escape to if Arcachon falls.)

I think he was just refering to the general act of the realm posting messages mocking the player and questioning his noble linege, rather then the old mechanic.

I believe there were nobles back then who were nice to the peasants as there are all types of nobles as there are people today. I play Hyperion, Judge of Caerwyn, to be kind to adventurers and try to help them out at times as long as they stay and fight the monsters. Hyperion views this as somewhat of a "noble" act for a common to do in order to gain the rank of nobility.

I'm nice to my puppies and they are registered with my family name, that does not mean I am related to them by blood.

I'm kidding. 

I don't have any puppies.

You can't "gain" the rank of commoner. Once a commoner, always a commoner.

Or do you mean that it could be discovered that someone is *not* a commoner?

I think Adventurers are nobles in disguise because they don't want to be a noble yet or part of a realm for that matter. In order to live in society and not be hassled, one must mix in with the crowd - so adventurers pretend to be lowly commoners. No peasants with pitchforks are able to defeat undead champions! Only nobles in disguise.. who want to perhaps be alone, fight heroic battles and find unique items.

Please go read the long discussion on adventurers.

So you meant wiki page", not "long discussion".
And I don't see any "long discussion" in the wiki page.  By the way, the relevant page is not that one, but rather
http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Adventurer_Roleplaying.

In my defense, Judge Hyperion is delusional  ::)

Oh boy...

If you would like for me in the future to provide the exact links then I would be quite willing to comply. However, seeing as how you managed to find not only the page but even link it here, I will assume that you have the capability to do it on your own.

No, there was also a long forum discussion about the exact definition of commoners/adventurers.
