I mean I'd imagine step one, both from the perspective of running such a game and an in game perspective, would be finding out how its being decided who's going on this bloody thing. Like obviously people uninterested or against the prospect of leaving and volunteering to stay behind are fine in the equation. After that though I'd imagine the gods and their scions are interested in making sure there's a fair shake on this, maybe seeing if it can be tilted in their favor, as it be one thing to lose good followers and people because being "that dang sexy" wasn't deemed a necessary skill...

Nowhere near that part of the series, but if I'm right this is after a number of colossal eff ups on the part of the Aes Sedai that made things significantly harder and worse than they should have been. (Like there is apparently debate on whether or not the leader at one point had their mind shattered by bad guys to be as incompotent as she was or if she was legitimately that crazy.)

My main guess is that this is more a response to them ignoring instruction and trying to show how they're in control and don't have to listen. IE if they had actually sent six as instructed then it would...

Its not really a blood thing, so much as it is a possible thing from being human. Basically if you're not a superntural then you're a sleeper and not really any big probability thing between blood towards not being a sleeper.

I work on the property I live in, so while maintenance has had a few alterations to how we function as the emergency call up guy my role hasn't changed.

Wouldn't that be the point of a battlegroup? I mean one enemy mechanically that gets a box or two ticked off, but in the flavor the solar just freaking grabs the dude at the head and throws them back through the ranks so hard anyone who wasn't able to get out the way became part of a very unhappy and broken improvised wall slowing that first person down.

I'm probably a sorcerer with the problem being that I approach things from the wizard route.

Look if you want a big storyline for Beasts, no god monsters or the like beyond what's already there. The angle is simple. The world has moved on. Beasts had a role they used to fulfill, ages back there was a balance, the Beghotten were the fears and the monsters that humanity needed to understand the less friendly lessons there were. It doesn't matter how strong or fast you are the avalanche will crush you when you get caught in it, for example. And there was a balance, the Heroes, those who's job it was to go in and educate the common folk on how to avoid being caught in the avalanche and...

It honestly depends on how you're defining the idea of strengthening your Horror. Like your atavisms are strong at low satiety, but that isn't because the Horror is stronger its because its pressing closer to the surface for any food stuff it can get. At the same it doesn't care what it gets, so long as there is food and to that end it is easier to manage your Horror at low Satiety than it is at high Satiety. At higher Satiety the Horror is capable of being picky about what it will eat, so feeding the Horror at higher satiety requires more extreme actions in line with its own wants. You can go...

Okay, so standard disclaimers about doing what you want at your table aside I'm not seeing it happening. Insatiables and Beasts could be considered similar species, but are more a case of convergent evolution. (Two dissimilar species that have evolved similar traits.)* Heroes in this analogy would probably be viewed as an adaptation that some humans possess enabling them to deal with Beasts (Note their ability to detect Beasts doesn't get tripped by Insatiables.) Basically none of them being the same would be fair grounds for dismissal of them being capable of the same feats.
