{{Stub|section=1|reason=Needs mechanical detail beyond just what the stats are and the tables cover. Inc but not limited to: Minimum age or lack thereof}}
 +
Roles are positions available to pawns that grant them both special benefits and drawbacks. Every ideoligion has at least two roles: '''Leader''' and '''Moral Guide'''. There can be only 1 leader globally, and 1 Moral Guide per ideoligion.
 +
 
 +
Additionally, each ideoligion grants up to 2 types of [[specialist]]s; a role that grants large bonuses and abilities related to a specific field in exchange of inability of doing one or more types of work. This limitation only applies to the type of specialization, not the total number of specialists.
 +
 
 +
== General info ==
 +
When creating an ideoligion, a randomly generated or player specified name is given to the role. For clarity, the wiki uses the generic names of the roles instead as the generated names will not be consistent across playthroughs. Where there are explicit references to the role name, such as in moodlets, the fact that the non-generic name is used will be noted, such as with "<Role Name>".
 +
 
 +
Some factors are consistent across all roles.
 +
* Pawns can only hold one role at a time.
 +
* All roles lose [[#Certainty|Certainty]] at 50% the normal rate.
 +
* Roles can have assigned equipment that they will demand when they have the role - Leaders and Moral Guides will get a permanent {{--|4}} "''Want <Role Name> apparel''" mood debuff without it. Due to a bug, none of the specialist roles will have the mood debuff happen. Only New Tribe colonies can select the [[war mask]] and [[tribal headdress]] as apparel options, while only New Arrivals colonies can select the [[slicecap]] and [[beret]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}.
 +
* A simple ritual is required to assign, remove, or change a role.
 +
 
 +
Removing a role from a pawn causes a {{--|15}} "''Lost <Role Name> role''" moodlet for 10 days.{{Check Tag|Detail Needed|Does this happen when changing roles and if so, in all instances of role chances. Spec to Spec, Spec to leader, spec to Moral guide, etc.}} This does not happen when changing from a moral guide to leader.
 +
 
 +
== Mandatory Roles ==
 +
The leader and moral guide roles are mandatory and cannot be removed. You can have 1 leader across all your colonists, even of different ideoligions. You can have 1 moral guide per ideoligion in your colony, so long as the role is activated.
 +
 
 +
=== Leader ===
 +
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General, but also "Leader Resentment" thoughts in Thoughts_IdeoRole.xml}}
 +
[[File:Leader.png|left]]
 +
A leader who holds the group together and represents your faction in diplomatic interactions.
 +
 
 +
Will always be restricted to any [[Ideoligion#Supreme gender|Supreme gender]] selected.
 +
{{Clear}}
 +
Leader abilities share a cooldown of {{Ticks|600000}} or 10 in-game [[Time|days]].
 +
 
 +
Leaders receive a flat +2% to [[Trade Price Improvement]] when they act as [[trade]]rs.
 +
 
 +
Leaders can select between these apparels as assigned equipment:
 +
* [[Headwrap]]
 +
* [[Broadwrap]]
 +
* [[War mask]]
 +
* [[Slicecap]]
 +
* [[Visage mask]]
 +
* [[Authority cap]]
 +
* [[Cowboy hat]]
 +
* [[Tribal headdress]]
 +
* [[Beret]]
 +
 
 +
Leaders have [[expectations]] that are two levels higher than normal.

 +
| A trial over some heinous accusation. The initiator will accuse someone of terrible wrongdoing and gather people for a trial. Spectators will listen as the accuser and accused argue back and forth, then decide if the accusation is true. If the accused is convicted, you can freely banish, arrest or execute them and nobody will mind. The chance of a conviction depends on the social abilities of the accused and accuser, and the number of spectators.|| If successful, you are allowed to execute, banish, or arrest a person without social consequences.

 +
=== Moral guide ===
 +
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Ability details}}
 +
[[File:MoralGuide.png|left]]
 +
A moral/spiritual leader who heads rituals and personally counsels believers. Moral guides get a 2x multiplier to the efficacy of their [[#Conversion|Conversion]] attempts.
 +
 
 +
It requires at least 3 colonists with the same ideoligion to activate: [[Slave]]s, [[prisoners]], and quest lodgers do not count. Activation allows the moral guide role to be assigned, but pawns with that ideology receive {{--|5}} "''No <Role Name>''" when the role is unfilled. This requirement persists, even if follower count diminishes, until there's only 1 pawn of that ideoligion left. There is a short grace period when starting the game before the [[mood]]let is applied.
 +
 
 +
Unlike Leaders, Moral Guides are '''not''' restricted to any Supreme gender selected.
 +
{{Clear}}
 +
Moral Guide abilities share a cooldown of {{Ticks|180000}} or 3 in-game [[Time|days]].
 +
 
 +
Moral Guides can select between these apparels as assigned equipment:

 +
== Specialists ==
 +
Specialists are roles that focus on a specific type of task in detriment of all others. Each role requires a minimum skill of 6 in the relevant area of expertise and the ability to perform activities relevant to the role. In exchange of large bonus and a special ability related to the selected area, one or more work types are disabled.
 +
 
 +
Between zero and two specialist types may be selected, but any number of pawns can be assigned that role. I.e. you cannot have a shooting specialist, an animals specialist, and a medical specialist, but you can have 20 pawns assigned be shooting specialists. Limits are per ideoligion only - multiple ideoligions in a single colony can allow more access to specialist types.

IdeologyIcon.png
This article relates to content added by Ideology (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.
StumpChoppedA (cropped).png
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Needs mechanical detail beyond just what the stats are and the tables cover. Inc but not limited to: Minimum age or lack thereof.

Roles are positions available to pawns that grant them both special benefits and drawbacks. Every ideoligion has at least two roles: Leader and Moral Guide. There can be only 1 leader globally, and 1 Moral Guide per ideoligion.

Additionally, each ideoligion grants up to 2 types of specialists; a role that grants large bonuses and abilities related to a specific field in exchange of inability of doing one or more types of work. This limitation only applies to the type of specialization, not the total number of specialists.

General info

When creating an ideoligion, a randomly generated or player specified name is given to the role. For clarity, the wiki uses the generic names of the roles instead as the generated names will not be consistent across playthroughs. Where there are explicit references to the role name, such as in moodlets, the fact that the non-generic name is used will be noted, such as with "<Role Name>".

Some factors are consistent across all roles.

  • Pawns can only hold one role at a time.
  • All roles lose Certainty at 50% the normal rate.
  • Roles can have assigned equipment that they will demand when they have the role - Leaders and Moral Guides will get a permanent −4 "Want <Role Name> apparel" mood debuff without it. Due to a bug, none of the specialist roles will have the mood debuff happen. Only New Tribe colonies can select the war mask and tribal headdress as apparel options, while only New Arrivals colonies can select the slicecap and beret Content added by the Royalty DLC.
  • A simple ritual is required to assign, remove, or change a role.

Removing a role from a pawn causes a −15 "Lost <Role Name> role" moodlet for 10 days.[Detail Needed] This does not happen when changing from a moral guide to leader.

Mandatory Roles

The leader and moral guide roles are mandatory and cannot be removed. You can have 1 leader across all your colonists, even of different ideoligions. You can have 1 moral guide per ideoligion in your colony, so long as the role is activated.

Leader

StumpChoppedA (cropped).png
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: General, but also "Leader Resentment" thoughts in Thoughts_IdeoRole.xml.
Leader.png

Moral guide

This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Ability details.
MoralGuide.png

A moral/spiritual leader who heads rituals and personally counsels believers. Moral guides get a 2x multiplier to the efficacy of their Conversion attempts.

It requires at least 3 colonists with the same ideoligion to activate: Slaves, prisoners, and quest lodgers do not count. Activation allows the moral guide role to be assigned, but pawns with that ideology receive −5 "No <Role Name>" when the role is unfilled. This requirement persists, even if follower count diminishes, until there's only 1 pawn of that ideoligion left. There is a short grace period when starting the game before the moodlet is applied.

Unlike Leaders, Moral Guides are not restricted to any Supreme gender selected.

Moral Guide abilities share a cooldown of 180,000 ticks (50 mins) or 3 in-game days.

Moral Guides can select between these apparels as assigned equipment:

Moral guides have expectations that are two levels higher than normal.

Counsel

Reassure
Reassure.png 		Increase someone's certainty in their own beliefs. The regained certainty is based on the speaker's negotiation ability. ?
Conversion Ritual
ConversionRitual.png 		Try to persuade someone into joining your ideoligion. If it goes well, target's ideoligion certainty will be reduced or they will convert. If it goes badly, they will gain certainty in their old beliefs. ?
Preach Health
PreachHealth.png 		Preach moral strength to a sick or wounded person through the concepts of your ideology. This will improve their rate of wound healing and immunity gain. This person's will to survive was reinforced by a talk with a moral guide of their ideoligion. That moral certainty has improved their healing and immunization gain rates.

Can only be used on pawns with the same Ideoligion as the Moral Guide themselves.

Specialists

Specialists are roles that focus on a specific type of task in detriment of all others. Each role requires a minimum skill of 6 in the relevant area of expertise and the ability to perform activities relevant to the role. In exchange of large bonus and a special ability related to the selected area, one or more work types are disabled.

Between zero and two specialist types may be selected, but any number of pawns can be assigned that role. I.e. you cannot have a shooting specialist, an animals specialist, and a medical specialist, but you can have 20 pawns assigned be shooting specialists. Limits are per ideoligion only - multiple ideoligions in a single colony can allow more access to specialist types.
