Personally, I think game mechanics pretty much forcing an Ascendant to not only join an Order, but Order hop in many cases, promotes bad roleplay.
Example: Bob is a member of John's Order, but John has gone inactive, and the only active god in the Org is Sally. So never showing an interest in Sally's Order, Bob quits John's Order to join Sally's Order merely cause Bob can't do half the "fun things" involved with being an Ascendant, unless joined with an active god.

Yep, this is the major one. I understand Morgfyre's desire not to tinker with Ascendants, but if that part is accurate, it doesn't really matter about the scope of their powers, it's still going to be lame. (Unless, say, the gifted ability is the ability to seperate your cult from the order...hmm.)

It seems to be the full 300k every time, no matter where the death occurred. Makes it a bit tougher than a 100k loss for a death in the Domoths.
Edit: 500k? Hmm. Well, I'm never going to have enough essence on me to reform. Every time I get 500k, it goes into Ascendance. Oh well.
To Gregori: Yeah, that's very frustrating.

Yeah, but you're discounting the fact that demigods lose essence just for standing in the domoth realms. Kind of evens out there in the essence game.
