Military Chaplain's.

I'm glad to see that this suggestions has been well received in the months since I left the community.

On a more serious note, it does have a lot of RP prospects. I'm thinking that some chaplains could even hold a mass (for religious Marines) before going into battle.

To be honest I wouldn't mind this at all, not one bit... the problem is, knowing our playerbase of "LOLZWERBADASSMARINESWEDONTGIVAFUKYOLOSWAGGANGSTA420BLAZEIT" marines, for the most part, due to a constant stream of newcomers and young players, there would be a LOT of soldiers just straight up trolling the chaplain and not taking his role seriously at all.

I'd really like this and I wouldn't mind having my marine character myself having a spiritual guide like this, but I just don't think it would work tbh, unfortunately.

Slip the Chaplin, slip into an early grave.

The only time I ever see the chaplain ever is when I get dragged into the church as a vampire or something, which is usually completely meta. When I play the chaplain, I usually go with the agnostic bible, or one of the more ridiculous choices and run around smacking people with it. I think it'd be okay. What possible mechanics would this include, or is it purely aesthetic?

+1 unless it gets out of hand.

So, I've turned this suggestion down in the past, for a primary reason:

It draws people away from Marine.

The chaplain, would be an on-board role, not allowed to deploy and subject to the same rules probably as a doctor. While we are a medium RP server, our RP is MUCH more limited, and a chaplain wouldn't have many chances to interact (they'd be basically unused unless a marine came back traumatized) before sometimes over an hour in the round, and since a chief MP complaint, is that they have nothing to do really after the first bit of the round, I feel the Chaplain would be the inverse of this. They'd end up with nothing to do until either an evacuation from the planet, or wounded return. And even then, most wounded marines usually want to get healed and get back down, not deal with a chaplain.

I don't think this will fit us at all.

Give them a Power staff and a Skull helmet and we're ready to purge in the NAME OF THE EMPEROR!!

Oh, yeah. I mean, quoting the bible as you .44 Xenos would be badass, but since this guy is also serving as the counselor, I'm sure the USCM would get the most stable guy possible.
