Chapter 6: Tier 3 Beings
Tier 3 beings are characters with some form of mortal shell- such as werewolves or zombies; but which may have either enhanced or withdrawn personalities (such as demi-gods or ghouls respectively). Tier Three Beings are divided by two categories- divine and dark; with demi-gods in the first category and monsters in the second. Occasionally however, characters from either group may act with neutrality, do heroic deeds, or commit evil sins. Also, those in the monster category are Tier 2 until they have completed their initiation task within their particular tribe. After these initiation rights, monsters become Tier 3. Demi-gods are similar to spirits in their secondary earning of divine status. Demi-gods however receive divine status as mortal beings from a particular god or group of gods- thus making them more powerful than spirits.
