Introduction
The Tasks & Trials Guide should be used as a supplement to the Master’s Guide, Master-Student Program document and Promotion Guidelines of Clan Plagueis. This Guide should allow you, the master, to create more in depth and intricate tasks and trials for your student, in attempts to form a very active and successful Dark Jedi.
Tasks
A master is charged with the creation of at least two minor tasks and possibly three, if the student takes that route. A minor task should cater to the strengths of the student while providing a level of difficulty that would force the student to reach farther than he or she had in the past. As these are minor tasks and are for the ranks of either Guardian or Jedi Hunter, they should not be exceptionally large but should involve a uniqueness and difficulty that would warrant the earning of the ranks. Always keep in mind that there are additional promotion requirements to get both ranks and that these are not the Trials of Plagueis. (Excerpt from the Master’s Guide)
As mentioned, a task should not be extremely difficult, always remember that this is not the Trials. The reason for a task is to prepare the student for the Trials while increasing his own skills. A task is specific per student and as such is not like the other promotion requirements that are general. This guide will give examples of tasks for modification by the master.
If your student enjoys writing or wishes to improve his/her writing, a small fiction would be an ideal task. Examples:
- Compose a fiction on your character’s life before the Dark Brotherhood
- Write a story about how you managed to get your robes tattered and shredded
- Create a fiction piece about going on a mission with your master
These are just some examples that could be used. You may be as specific as you want, like the third example or vague like the second.
If your student prefers the combat side of the Dark Brotherhood then a goal should be set as your student’s tasks. Examples:
- Achieve your next ACC rank
- Earn 20 Clusters of Fire
These are examples and depending on the skill of your student you may adjust them or add to them.
If you student likes to further his/her knowledge of the Dark Side, Shadow Academy courses may be used as a task as well. Examples:
- Complete 4 Shadow Academy courses of your choice
- Complete the Sith Alchemy, Pre-Republic History, and Force Philosophy courses
You can be specific or general depending on what your student prefers, requires or has already taken. You should not put any of the Leadership courses or Conflict Mediation in your tasks as these are promotion requirements.
If you student enjoys graphic creation, you could create a task that furthers your students skills. Examples:
- Create a banner for the House Quaestor
- Layout a scene related to the Brotherhood
Depending on the extent of your students skill and sort of graphic creations may be used.
Various other less specific tasks are also possible. If you student is intrigued by competitions, you may have him/her create competition for the House or Battle Team. Of course this would require approve from the Summit. If your student is in a leadership position, you may have them attempt to increase activity of their unit. This would require House Summit and Clan Summit approval and is not highly recommended due to the lack of concrete results. Many other tasks can be create from minimal activities to fairly in depth ones depending on your student’s skill. These are just recommendations and examples and do not need to be used, you are more than able to formulate your own task.
If you are having difficulty forming a task for your student, the House Summit would be more than willing to assist and possible give a small project to assist the House. In this case, depending on the project size, it should be divided into parts and may be used as multiple tasks. If the project is minor this should not be done. The House Summit may also have other recommendations to assist you. In addition, the Clan Envoy, who must also approve the tasks, may be of assistance.
Trials
The Trials of Plagueis are the pinnacle of a Dark Jedi’s training and the Master’s Trial should be the most difficult and involved Trial. The Master’s Trial should gear toward the student’s strengths and interests, but must require him/her to make a step into greater difficulty. The Master’s Trial may incorporate multiple tasks or be a difficult single task. A master may interrelate tasks or incorporate efforts in the previous promotion tasks. The possibilities a master has are endless and should be unique and directed toward their student. Remember that the Trial must be difficult and either directly or indirectly cause the student to apply and utilize knowledge and skill gained throughout their training experiences. (Excerpt from the Master’s Guide)
It is recommended that you use the multi-tasked Trial approach as it allows for the student to be well versed and cover multiple forms of activity. In addition, one major tasks as the Trial could seem overwhelming and may also be unattainable. You want your student to succeed, be challenged but have fun doing it. As the Master’s Trial is most often a compilation of tasks, the “Tasks” section of this Guide may be used but it is not recommended that you repeat tasks, unless the student thoroughly enjoys the activity, such as an ACC rank advancement.
While the Master’s Trial is completely up to the Master, you may also choose the tasks within the other Trials. This is highly recommended to give your student a focus and to gear your student on his strengths. These chosen tasks within Trials will need additional approval from the Clan Envoy and Summit as does the Master’ Trial.
As with the tasks, if you are having difficulty with the formation of a task, the Clan Envoy and Summit would be more than willing to assist you in your efforts.
