Comparison Guides and Tables
So, I think this post with The Forty Servants: Comparison Guides and Tables, will be of huge benefit to most of you and should answer a lot of questions and clear up some haziness for you. I broke down the differences between The Servants who are similar in nature, and then talked about The Servants who are in opposition with each other. Next I placed each of them into their relevant Elemental category, and finished up with some Servants who work well together.
Lots to look over in this one, and is the sort of stuff to expect from the forthcoming new updated, extended and expanded guidebook.
I hope that this post will help to encourage you to get a bit more creative with how you use the Servants for different effects. Any questions just ask below or in the Facebook group!

Servants that are linked by their nature
The Monk – The Chaste – The Devil – The Opposer
KEYWORD: Restriction
The Monk is about making your life simpler, which in a sense is a restriction you place on yourself. The Chaste talks about discipline and denial, which again is about restriction. The Devil represents the limiting beliefs and restrictions we place on ourselves, while the Opposer is restrictions that are forced on us by outside forces.
The Mother – The Father
KEYWORDS: Parental Guidance
The Mother will do anything to keep her child safe and free from harm. She feels her job is to protect the child. The Father, although he loves the child as much, will use tough-love so that the child becomes more self reliant and resilient. The Father will let the child do something stupid so that they will learn from it; The Mother would try to stop the child harming themselves. Both want the child to be happy and protected.
The Father – The Guru – The Librarian
KEYWORD: Teaching
The Father will teach us about dealing with the emotional hardships and ups and downs of life. The Guru will give us practical wisdom in how to be better at the things we want to accomplish, and The Librarian will teach us the theory behind it all.
The Moon – The Sun
KEYWORD: Illumination
The moon illuminates the dark and nasty places in our lives, the bits we don;t really want to see while The Sun shines on all the goodness and joyous places.
The Desperate – The Fixer

The Fixer is what the Desperate becomes when he finally has enough and decides to do whatever it takes or costs to get the situation sorted out.
