[QUOTE="Utrecht, post: 115329, member: 1411"] There a couple pseudo cliched ways of getting PC involved in the machinations of the nobility. 1) Have nobel family A hire the PCs to burn/steal (for N and E parties) or "recover" stolen goods (for Good) from Nobel family B. There are a couple of nasty things that you can do here - especially if the party is good - As it turns out Family B is good and the goods are needed to further some nefarious plot. 2) The PCs are guarding something of Family A- they are approached by representatives of Family B to "stand" aside (again the Family B will spin the information to suit thier needs) 3) A PC looks earily like a member of Family A - could they please act as a stand in for X event - during the event - someone attempts to kill them - who did it? Again, they are somewhat clicheed - but the important thing to remember about stereotypical fantisy nobility is that they: Have to much money Have to much time Don't like to get thier hands dirty (That is what PCs are for) Get off of hurting the social status of other families (this is where the social standing rules in the latest Dragon would be neat) [/QUOTE]
