[QUOTE="Elwolf, post: 694834, member: 4756"] I'm not sure if this quite the right board to post this on (if not, if one of the mod's would be as kind as to shunt it to the right one), but anyhow ... Ever since I first laid eyes on the Companion set for BD&D, I've always enjoyed having characters end up as lords of a domain, so it was a pretty natural progression to end up loving Birthright when it was first released, both for the campaign setting itself, and for the domains system. Back in 2e when I started piecing together a homebrew world, I decided to use the domains system if any PC wanted to become a ruler, so I dropped the bloodlines (the divine right didn't sit well with my world) and realm magic. Now the blood abilities weren't going to be missed but unfortunately dropping realm magic really put a damper on it for wizard characters - if sources did nothing for them, what was the point? In the end I decided that sources linked to a single primary source extended the lifespan of the wizard (with a grace period should the leyline be sundered, or the wizard lose some of their sources before the aging caught up with them). When 3e came out and the first of the birthright conversions were posted, I thought about letting sources offset the xp requirements for spells or creating magic items, but figured that might get out of hand. With the current [URL=http://www.birthright.net/download.php]brcs-playtest pdf[/URL] I figure I'll use sources for granting longevity, In addition, with epic spells, I was going to either require linked sources totalling the Spellcraft DC to cast the spell, or let the linked sources provide a bonus to the Spellcraft check, but I'm not sure which. Anyone else used the domain rules outside of Birthright? If so what sort of changes did you make to them? Or any other sort of domain rules for that matter? [/QUOTE]
