I have the Raid model with:  
has\_many :earners, :through =\> :raid\_attendees, :source  
=\> :character

The raid\_attendees table has an earner\_id table. When I try to define  
something using  
at = RaidAttendee.new  
at.earner = Character.find(whatever)

i get this error: NoMethodError: undefined method `earner=’ for  
#RaidAttendee:0x525cc40

I don’t really have any idea where to start trying to fix this.

Thanks
