Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 779197" data-attributes="member: 8704">Looks good.The reason the rangers have judge powers is that who wants to walk two days to the city to decide who owns a cow. I am assuming that anything major would be sent back to the city. Of course there are times where justice must be served, in those cases the Rangers would be the ones to take the criminals back to town. What do you do when you are two days walk away from town and you have somebody accused of stealing a cow? you call for one of the Rangers to decide guilt or not and dole out suitable punishment. What do you do if the farmer murdered his wife in a fit of rage? You call a Ranger to take him to town. If there are 10 silk fish poachers on the lake and only two rangers there, then they will not have the option of escorting them all back to town, and they don't have the option of finding help, their justice would have to be swift and set a example. Most of the cases they would be called for would be "whose piglet is that?" cases, not something the city courts would care about dealing with anyway.The Winter Storm would be perfect for armed patrols up and down the caravan routes and for attacking pockets of orcs or goblins when they are found. There are not enough city troops to actually attack anything, the Winter Storm would be a perfect tool for projecting power into the wilderness and driving foes away from the city. They would probably only work (or be paid) when there was a reason for them so they would need to find things to do when the city didn't need them, probably drinking away the profits from the last counter attack against the goblins or royal caravan they escorted through the swamp.</blockquote>
