Similar in function to Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, etc., Caste is an attribute which reflects a character's social rank. It's useful for comparing the social standing of a character versus and NPC. Caste implies a status and confers a degree of etiquette appropriate to the character's Caste. Caste is not "rank" amongst players. It is useful and fun for role-playing but Caste never affects a player's ability to control his own character.

Although Caste is an important part of role-playing, especially when interacting with NPC's,Caste is not presumed to be a player pecking order. Rather, it is a tool for understanding the social level of your character.

Therefore, no player has the right or authority to boss another player around. In the end, a character does whatever the player decides, and it is assumed that the lead character ordered that action EVEN IF the player of the lead character does not agree with the action.
