Birthright d20, anyone?

[Dirigible]

I bags playing the Gorgon.

Regents of any sort are acceptable. If anyone has the actual 2E book available, and can post the rules for building a domain from points, I can figure out the values to give you. Characters will be fifth level, 36 point buy, with bloodlines of Major strength and 20 score. I have been persuaded, and will allow the wizard for a human regent; elves must be sorcerors, and half-elves may select either.

I'll be working on my character.

Dirigible: LOL! I think getting to play the Gorgon might be just a *touch* overpowered for a 5th-level campaign.

I appreciate your offer to get the point-buy rules; I'll start on my character once they're up. And once Pax says yea or nay on my getting to play an evil mastermind. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea... Heh heh heh...

I have the boxed set, and try to post the building rules tomorrow.

Since the slots are filled, can I play someone´s lieutenant or relative? I promise I'll be good....

If someone wants to have an independent lieutenant, they can let you take that slot; they'll get faster reactions to events, but may not necessarily like the reaction.

IdentityCrisis: Who says there's only one evil mastermind? Your characters are entirely up to you. If each and every one of you wants Derivation: Azrai and the Bloodform ability, it's within your grasp. The only restrictions are those I've laid out explicitly.

Ahh, minions. So helpful. So quick to volunteer. So... expendible.

That sounds like the exact description of a Vassal to me. More independent, so less controllable abut able to take more actions.

Hmmm... alll awnsheghlien party...

Actually, Roberts brings up an intersting point. If we're all going to be well-established regents in the same general area, we should each give a rough description of what our characters will be like. Not only because our characters would already know at least a little about each other, but because it may have implications in designing our domains, attitudes, history and alliances. For instance, we can't have two merchant princes who each control all of the guild holdings in the same area.

And on another note... Dirigible, are you going to start your own BirthRight campaign like you were talking about?

Okay, here goes. I'm paraphrasing most of the text.
Priests need temples, rogues guilds and wizards sources. Building a domain with the 'wrong' holdings will gain you a lot less regency.
Domain Design Points: Bloodline Score + 2d6 for Tainted Bloodlines, BS+2d8 for Minor, BS+2d10 for Major and BS+2d12 for Great. (Please note that this assumes 2nd edition bloodline score; thus double that indicated in the 3rd edition birthright.net pdf.)
Holding and Province Cost: Province 2/level (1/lvl for warriors), Law Holding 1/level, Guild 2/level (1/lvl for thieves), Source 2/level (1/lvl for wizards), Temple 2/level (1/lvl for priests) If a Holding is created in a province not adjacent to a province containing one of the PC's Holdings, the cost rises by 1 design point.
Assigning a terrain type to a province doesn't cost any extra design points, unless the DM rules the change is too drastic.
Domain Asset Cost: Army Units 1 per 8 GB of units, Contacts 1 per 2 Contacts, Fortifications 1 per level of fort or castle, Lieutenants 1 per lieutenant, Loyalty 1 per province raised to high, Trade Routes, 1 per trade route, Treasury 1 per 5 GB in treasury.

Again, rather than randomly rolled values, it's going to be the same for everyone: 60 points with which to build your domains.
