[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8405847, member: 6915329"] Awesome! I'm still not quite convinced about the sizes, at least for the lowest levels. Level 1 is a 10x10 room room, which as we all know is exactly big enough for one orc and one chest. It seems like the encampment is the smallest stronghold at a minimum of 100 square feet. I know that those two pages don't list all the stronghold types, but I can't imagine any of the other Grade 1 strongholds being much smaller. Maybe the chart should [I]start [/I]at that level, and Grade 1 is 100-500 square feet? If I wanted my stronghold made of really awesome materials, should I just use the Furnishings list as a guide? Like, cheap wood would be Squalid but marble would be Luxurious? And is the Furnishings multiplier a one-and-done or is it added for every major thing--like, if I wanted Average furniture but Luxurious traps, what would I do? Nevertheless, this looks really awesome and I'm glad to see these rules. Edit: another question. The level 4 Encampment means you don't have to be at a haven to recover from fatigue or strife. Is that [I]anywhere[/I], or is that if you're resting at that encampment? Because if it's the former, then all you need is 5,001 gp (for a half-cost frugal encampment) and you're basically able to recover anywhere. That's doable for many groups at low levels. If it's not too late, you might want to address that--maybe you can recover when you're sleeping outdoors, but not inside because you're not used to such civilized accommodations. Maybe it's only in that [I]type [/I]of wilderness, so if you built your encampment in a forest, you're good for all forests, but not for deserts, swamps, or mountains. [/QUOTE]
