Pragmati's Creed

by Marc Saindon

Different Mystata gameplay style: Pragmati's Creed...

The Pragmati are an obscure group based on an entry in RC's bestiary (under Headsmen/Thug) and while listed as "evil" (dangerous to have as enemies but even as allies), this could be retconned to include a more "Assassin's Creed" type of campaigning, in which a cell of PCs remove any obstacles that the Darokin Diplomatic Corps can't get around. Running afoul the Pragmati are its Thyatian "templar" counterpart, the (expanded) Shadow Hand ('Umbra Manus'), who thrives on spreading instability and creating false flag incidents so that the Empire can "restore peace" with military action (with loot, slaves and turf being side-products). Isu tech, if needed is replaced with Blackmoor artifacts.
