[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6384181, member: 20323"] [h2][color=DarkOrange]The Factions[/color][/h2] Over the next couple posts I'm going to present my take on converting the Planescape factions to 5e. I'll cover the traditional 15 plus the Mind's Eye and Ring-givers for those playing a post-Faction War game. I've converted the factions as another aspect of characters in addition to background, race, and class. Thus, they can be used as part of character creation or joined/changed during play. The versions here are a bare-bones presentation of prerequisites, benefits, and restrictions. You'll need other Planescape resources to become more familiar with the respective faction philosophies. Additionally, each faction has a special feat available to members who prove themselves to the faction cause; the feats are largely based on expanded faction abilities presented in [u]Factol's Manifesto[/u], as well as ideas inspired by [url]http://www.pathguy.com/planesca.htm[/url]. EDIT: You'll notice each faction feat gives a downtime meditation feature which basically states "for each day you meditate in a region there is a 1% cumulative chance of.....X.....happening." The PC's character level is meant to limit how high their % chan can get. So a 1st level PC would only benefit from a day of meditation, while a 7th level PC would benefit from a week of meditation, and a 14th level PC would benefit from a fortnight of meditation. And I am using 'meditation' here in the broad sense, not the Vipasana sense ;) [/QUOTE]
