Editing Tir Con-Escape From New York (section)

==Comments==
In general im going to let a PC have a good signature piece for no pips.  something they would have gotten, been given, that fills out their character concept.  Figure in the 25 pip range.

''Elites'':  In my game, Oberon, then Random, felt his children needed someone they could theoretically depend on in a fight.  Also as a courier, messenger, and otherwise muscle.  Especially Random since after Patternfall and becoming King he called for all his siblings to bring their kids to court.  So there was an influx of young, vulnerable, cousins.  Most royals have them around them but not necessarily every moment.  But if they are off on an adventure they would take them.  At some point some royals go and request from Random to not have an elite, as Alvah and Vek have both done for very particular reasons.

Elites are just that.  Elite.  They will have served a stint in the regular Amber military or the military of a Golden Circle kingdom, or in  some connection to a royal.  They will have attended Nasty Place, also known as Rasak, where Benedict as Marshal of Amber trains his top military personnel.  See it at [[Benedict Personal Military Course]].  They will have the following abilities regardless of their other abilities.
==='''Elite Abilities gained at Nasty Place-Rasak'''===
*5 Pips Warfare-Graduates reach at Least Amber Rank in Warfare
*3 Pip Endurance-graduates gain at least Chaos Rank in Endurance with 5 pip toward Amber rank.
*2 Pip Strength-Graduates gain at least Amber Strength
*1 Pip Skill-Military Technology
*1 Pip Skill-Military Command and Communications.
*1 Pip Skill-Military Horsemanship
*1 Pip Skill-Gymnastics
*1 Pip Skill-Medical Training
*1 Pip Skill-Cooking.  Butchering.  General gardening.  Preparation. Cast Iron.  Open Fire. 

PCs have the option to have attended Nasty Place.  Some do because it speaks to their service to Amber.  Some don't because Benedict can be a bit crazy demanding.  Caine in particular does not trust Nasty Place graduates completely.  If a PC wished to have attended Nasty Place they need to fit a term of service into their character concept.  Being young, they might not have done so yet.
