When first joining The First Edge, you will be the lowest rank unless given special privileges like joining under an apprenticeship or whatnot. The higher your rank the more powerful your character is allowed to be. This is not saying that a lower rank will never defeat a higher rank, it just means that a higher rank will be better at what their class does than a lower rank.

Chief's Honorbound very special and elite warriors that answer directly to the High Chief. They are allowed 3 Special Skills and receive no movement penalty from heavy armor. They are also allowed 3 weapons when entering a mission and can bring up to 4 if called in specifically by the High Chief. They are also allowed to enter any mission if they feel the High Chief is in danger. They answer to no one except the High Chief. But they must follow every direction given to them by the High Chief no matter what.
