[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 758181, member: 2020"] Janos, I really do appreciate your lists. Thank you. The question you ask, of course, is very difficult. I submit a first effort of my own at quantifying the strength of any given FR power. It is a modification of the system proposed by Gez. If ANYONE would like to add suggestions or improvements to this system, please feel free to chime in! - - - POWER LEVEL (PL) OF ANY GIVEN FR REALM Total Population of that Nation x Average Intelligence of the Population of that Nation x Leadership of that Nation (not in an actual IR, obviously) x Political Will of that Nation x Military Might of that Nation x Magical Might of that Nation x Economic Might of that Nation x CR of the Average Citizen of that Nation Total Population is expressed in absolutes: If Evermeet has 1,658,880 people, then that is the number used for the equation. Average Intelligence of the Population is just that. If the Average Intelligence of the Elves of Evermeet is 11 (?), then 11 is the number used for the equation. Leadership is expressed from 2 to 12. 2 = worst possible leadership. 7 = average leadership. 12 = best possible leadership. Political Will is also expressed from 2 to 12. Military Might is expressed from 2 to 12. Magical Might is expressed from 2 to 12. Economic Might is expressed from 2 to 12. CR is actual CR, PLUS ONE. If the elves have an average CR of 1, then the number used is 2. (Ogres, with a CR of 3 (?) would have a number of 4.) The result is divided by one billion to find the Power Level of the Nation. Therefore ... Evermeet: 1,658,880 (population) x 11 (average intelligence) x 9 (moderately strong leadership) x 5 (poor political will) x 9 (moderately strong military might) x 9 (moderately strong magical might) x 4 (very poor economic strength) x 2 (average CR 1, plus 1 for this formula) = 532.10 (calculator required!) So, Evermeet has a PL of 532.10 [/QUOTE]
