Well now, since you have all the answers, I can't imagine why you ask.

I don't know about how the crunch of oaths of poverty work, but traditionally, yeah, you are allowed to own things that let you live and work; food, tools, ect.

Depends on the specific oath, though.

Unless I've completely lost my wits, Sascha doesn't actually have the Vow of Poverty feat. So any discussions of what it does works out to purely in-character considerations.

Oh. My bad.

Also, Whistler, Otto's absolute hate on for Faruq is awesome and I heartily encourage it.

Sascha is bound by several oaths which dont have any crunchy effects beyond being the prequisite background for his Prc.

So no he doesnt have the Vow of Poverty feat, its just pure character fluff (a nod to the rule of a certain knightly order).

Yup gotta agree Otto vs Faruq is quite exceelent.

Also its nice to see Khalil showing his true colours at last...

Sacha

He looks like the old knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but heck, he'll fit right in here.

Sweet! :D (and no he certainly wasnt a dot of inspiration for Sascha at all no....)

So Isabella, Andre and I were bored one afternoon and we decided to take the Major Arcana from the Tarot and see if we can match Expedition members to the Arcana. Some of these are a little bit of a stretch, some only fit upright or reversed, but we think we did a pretty good job! Take a look:

Fool: Dieter
Magician: Lia
Priestess: The Anubite
Empress: Menetnashte
Emperor: Marchand-Renier
Hierophant: Kuzan
Lovers: Lily
Chariot: Charles
Strength: Sascha
Hermit: Sarari
Fortune: Michel (reversed)
Justice: Harris
Hanged Man: Andre
Death: Fassahd
Temperance: Carter, Jervis (reversed)
Devil: Samael
Tower: Guy
Star: Remy
Moon: Devereux
Sun: Otto
Judgement: Tomas
World: The Menetnashte Expedition

There you go! Enjoy!

I don't know much about Tarot, but wouldn't Cavendish fit death all too well? (even though he's not strictly speaking an Expedition member.... or is he?)

Death is about change, not necessarily death itself :) Putting Fassahd there was Isabella's idea.

In Tarot, Death is not death in the sense of the cessation of life, but rather Transformation - provided I remember correctly.

And on a sidenote: No card for Grimmric ...? :?
