Birthright d20, anyone?

[Robbert Raets]

I was thinking of playing a divine spellcaster (probably Druid or Ranger) focusing on Temple and Law holdings - with maybe a Lieutenant running the Guilds.
(Robbert Raets you interested?)

In one word? Hell yeah, I'm very interested.

Do you need him to be a Paladin, or a Ranger or what?

I was hoping we'd be able to get domains and characters done by this weekend; any chance that's actually going to happen? I'd like to keep up a decent pace on the game, if possible.

Lots of possibilities depending on IdentityCrisis' reply

Scenario 1. I'll probably be a Cleric of Sera (Temples) with some Law Holdings (Navy/Marines) and of course Guild holdings, some of which would be connected to Ela (so that could make you a Rogue/Paladin since Ela (Eloele) is Patron of Theives)

Scenario 2a: Oppose This is wide open so got any ideas?

Scenario 2b: Allies I'd consider being a mad druid-type (Erik) who opposes the spread of civilisation and wants to destroy it and let the wilderness spread and reclaim the cities. He thus supports the evil elfs desire to drive out humans. How do you see yourself fitting into that vision?

I'm working on it - what were the costs on the Domain assets?
all I can see is that we get 5gb for 1pt so if I want a Seaport do I use 2 pts and get the Seaport and 4 GB (change?)? Which I can then use to get a Shipyard?

Oh, alright- I'll get off my lazy arse (or, rahter, stay on my lazy arse) and write 'em up, if it means so much to you

Revising for 3.5, costs are 2 per province level (1 if you have at least 5 ranks of Lead), 2 per law level (1 if you have at least 5 ranks in Warcraft), 2 per temple level (1 if you can cast divine spells), 2 per source level (1 if you can cast arcane spells), 2 per guild level (1 if you have at least 5 ranks in Administrate). 1 point also buys 2 holdings (0), 8 GB of units, 1 level of fortifications, 1 trade route, 1 NPC lieutenant, 6 GB of public works (seaports, shipyards, bridges, etc.), or 5 GB of treasury. PC lieutenants will be vassals, with their own holdings (which must be purchased with the liege-lords points), and donating an amount of RP per turn as agreed upon by the players.

Works for me.

Scenario 2a: Oppose

This is wide open so got any ideas?

Maybe you had a vision, or a divine duty to oppose the Fascist Elf?

Scenario 2b: Allies

I'd consider being a mad druid-type (Erik) who opposes the spread of civilisation and wants to destroy it and let the wilderness spread and reclaim the cities. He thus supports the evil elfs desire to drive out humans. How do you see yourself fitting into that vision?

Maybe a crazy Ranger/Barbarian with a 'the weak must perish for the strong to thrive' sort of viewpoint.

The sourcer/guilder would not likely have much relations with the church either way. He wouldn't be hostile, since his daughter needs their services (and as a merchant prince himself, he understands the need to charge for services). But he wouldn't be friendly either, because... well... they let his *wife* die. Justifiable or not, that's not the sort of thing you just forgive and forget. His attitude would likely be civil but somewhat cold, as in "I'll deal with you when I need to, but other than that we don't mix."

Not much room for alliances or opposition there.

As for the elf, the only kind of church he would truely support would be one with a predominately elven membership, which didn't mind his evicting non-elves to increase a province's magic rating. The insane druid thing would work for an independant ally, otherwise he would have a state-sponsered religion of his own along similair lines (probably through a cleric or druid vassal).

Other than things like that, he's not likely to be on good terms with *any* church. He acquires temple, law and guild holdings in his non-elven neighboors' territory in order to destabilize, divide and conquer. *Many* churches would have reason to oppose him, either because he's trying to muscle in on their territory or just on moral principle.

Elves don't have religion. To quote the book, "The elves are aware that gods exist, but they do not pay homage to them. . . To the elves, spiritual development is the responsibility of the individual."

Point taken, thanks. But that doesn't mean that elven regents have to ignore temple holdings altogether, right?
