Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gez" data-source="post: 755535" data-attributes="member: 1328">Maybe we should establish a formulae.Something like: Population * Military Modifier * Magic Modifier * Economic Modifier * Political Modifier * Racial ModifierModifiers would be: Very Poor: 1Poor: 2Average: 3Strong: 4Very Strong: 5Racial modifier would be based on average CR of the population's base races:1/2 -- 1: 12 -- 4: 25 -- 9: 310 -- 16: 417 +: 5Then we get huge numbers we could compare, and maybe reduce by a same factor to get a number on a 0 -- 100 scale.As an example, Evermeet has 1658880 habs, can be considered very strong magically and strong militarily (excellent defensive fleet, but I'm dubious about their offensive troops, so I won't rate them as very strong) and poor economically (because of their "oh we are well only with ourselves and foreigners are evil" stance, they have few trade lines) and very poor politically (for the same reason, they have no allies).1 658 880*4*5*2*1*1=66 355 200, or PF 66.Waterdeep, on the other hand, has an enormously huge political and economical influence (and is quite gifted in the magical domain too, with Khelben, Laeral, the Watchful Order of Magist and Protectors, and the high proportion of high-level wizards among the nobles of Waterdeep (e.g., Maskar Wands).1 347 840*4*5*5*5*1=673 920 000, or PF 670.Luruar:1 090 800*3*5*4*3*1=196 344 000, or PF 196.Well, one may argue about my estimations of power in the various domains of influence. One may also argue that we should factor in a cultural factor, depending on the education of the population (a good point for Waterdeep and the Silver Marches, bad for Thesk).I don't claim to be accurate, I'm just proposing a solution to systematize the PF calculation.</blockquote>
