Rebellion Team Leaders Need Help

[Quoth13]

I am about to run Hells Rebels for my group and one of the few things i don't like about the books is how the teams work rather then recruiting genetic teams and paying a little gold to upgrade them I am thinking of having mini quests to recruit team leaders and having them just starts at tier 3 these are the leader concepts and rough quest ideas. I would greatly appreciate feedback especially from anyone who has done something similar. I could really use help with ideas for the Spellcaster team leader and the Cabalists team leader quests Thank you!

When a team is upgraded from Rumormongers to Cognescenti, was Arra Onis already a Rumormonger or did she join at the transition?

Having team leaders is a good idea--we have that for the bonus teams--but you have to be careful that the NPC works for all four teams in that area. These might, but it might be helpful to have a sentence tracing the NPC's path.

I apologize if i wasnt clear enough in the original post instead of having the players upgrade the teams when they recruit them they are at the third tier for example Cognescenti. When the rebellion hits a level where they can recruit a new team have them decide what kind of team they need for the rebellion and in game have some of their supporters keep an ear to the ground for someone who would fit the bill then after a week or so in game have a NPC introduce them to one of the team leaders who would need something before signing on as a full fledged rebel rather then just a passive supporter. After they do the quest they get the team leader who has friends of their own that make up the full team. I think this would help the PCs connect with the teams better and make it a bigger impact if something were to happen to one of them on a mission.
