I'm just wondering what ardent concepts and mantles y'all have come up with. For instance, what mantles might be the most common among Thranish followers of the Silver Flame? What about Inspired ardents, and their Kalashtar adversaries?

Or, for more real-world inspired examples, what mantles might a Thelemic ardent have? A Taoist ardent?

Just curious as to what ideas you've had in terms of ardent concepts.

I have a few interesting ones in that I've been working on in that department, mostly just doodles for a campaign involving a lot of modern occult concepts.

An Existentialist Ardent:
Freedom, Fate, Time, Conflict, Repose

A Nihilistic Ardent:
Pain and Suffering, Madness and Corruption, Repose, Destruction, Death

A Zen Buddhist Ardent:
Repose, Mental Power, Deception, Death, Fate

A Spiritualist / Theosophical Ardent:
Creation, Magic, The planes, The Elements, Communication, Death

A Radical Atheist Ardent:
Mental Power, Physical Power, The Planes, Creation, Freedom

A Chaote (practitioner of Chaos Magic) Ardent:
Energy, Fate, Freedom, Creation, Life

A Pacifist Ardent:
Repose, Communication, Deception, Justice, Life

A Qabballistic Ardent:
Communication, The Planes, Mental Power, Law, Creation

Seeing as you mention the idea:

A Thelemite Ardent would probably use:
Conflict, Freedom, Life, Chaos, Time

Pretty good concepts, if you ask me.

I appreciate your contribution Suldarr'essalar, but to clarify, this thread was primarily intended to be about the conceptual, roleplaying aspects of being an ardent, not really about the game mechanics of ardent builds.
