I do not have the reference handy (for some of you, that is shocking,
isn't it?), but trust me, the AMM says that LightRaiders have to have
three missions under their belts before they can take on a Special
Character Role.

Now, how you count the adventures is the sticking point.  In order of
suggested play:

1) LightRaider Test
2) Rescue of the Sacred Scrolls
3) Moon Bridge Raid 1
4) Moon Bridge Raid 2
5) Moon Bridge Raid 3

Now, some say that MoonBridge is really one adventure, so a LightRaider
can not have a Special Character Role until after MBR 3.

Some count each MoonBridge as seperate adventures, so a LightRaider would
be able have a Special Character Role after MBR 1.

And, if you count Sorcerer's Apprentice (available for free on the web),
and play it during MBR1, then a LightRaider can have a Special Character
Role during most of MBR 1.

To fix all of this confusion, we may announce that the suggested order of
play is:

1) LightRaider Test
2) Rescue of the Sacred Scrolls
3) Vulturian's Tower (due out soon)
4) Moon Bridge Raid 1
5) Moon Bridge Raid 2
6) Moon Bridge Raid 3

In that case, a LightRaider would be able have a Special Character Role
going into MBR 1.  Which could be a lot of help for the RaidTeam.  At the
same time, we were thinking of adding another requirment to the mix,
having a Sword of the Spirit of 2 or 3.

By the way, in case you did not know, I am curently the Rules Committee
Chairman for Adventures for Christ / DragonRaid, which is why I may sound
like I write with a certain air of authority.  I don't mean to come off
as a know-it-all or antything, sorry if I do.
