Hi all.
I know there are examples and descriptions in the RT book of how one can acquire a Warrant of Trade, but I thought in how far other possibilties to acquire a Warrant can work. My groups Rogue Trader player (and all the other players) made up his character yesterday, but we are still thinking about a few background issues. He wants to play the 'Scoundrel' type of Rogue Trader who won his Starship (an ancient xenophilous Hazeroth-class privateer) in a gamble (e.g. regicide). Do you think it is also possible to win a Warrant of Trade in a gamble (against an old impoverished Rogue Trader) or is it out of question because the Warrants are clearly granted to a certain person (and his scions)? Even if the Warrant could not change hands this way, maybe the old impoverished Rogue Trader can adopt the player character Rogue Trader so that he becomes a scion?
Thanks in advance for any help.
