The nobles will have court wizards (and maybe artificers) and entrenched churches, along with the nobles themselves often being bards and/or sorcerers... but the peasants will have warlocks and other churches' clerics and some bards and possibly sorcerers of their own. (and disaffected nobles looking to become the new top dogs) If things are bad enough the peasant are willing to take the risk of fighting a dude in magic armor with a magic sword when all they got is a threshing flail... things are real bad, and that likely means more clerics and druids will side with the peasants, IMO.I think it will net out similarly to historical results: usually it's not a real fight, just a very loud protest, but if it does turn into a war it usually goes to the established powers, and if the peasants do win the new king is rarely all that much better than the old king.But if the pc's are involved, anything is possible.</blockquote>
