Skills of an Organisation

[Tonguez]

I wanted a system where PCs were leaders of a village and the village was essentially another character and stated up similar to a normal NPC

So I've got

Parameters (ie Ability Scores) determined by 3d6 (3-18)
Authority - the Political power of an organisation, its ability to gain compliance and support from its own members and others
Economics - The ability of an organisation to sustainably utilise its resources and to construct new objects
Culture - The capacity of an organisation to maintain integrity and loyalty of its membership, to learn and grow
Might - the ability of an organisation to enforce its position and protect its interest


Anyway I've gone through and adapted the Skill List and wanted feedback - is it good? what else needs to be added? Does anything need to be moved?

I've actually done this same sort of thing myself, though I've worked primarily with guilds and I've only now started moving to communities. If you'd like, I can send you an email of my word document on guilds.
