[QUOTE="Hawke, post: 4494015, member: 61721"] I thought I replied but I guess not... I always thought it'd be cool to have the leader be chosen by some unknown (magic? divine?) way that was very clear and obvious. So the person in the city that had blue skin was the ruler. That could change at any moment with the color disappearing and it shifting to someone else. Nobody is quite sure the reason and it doesn't happen that often to be disruptive. Most of the time the kingdom functions like any other except the ruler is blue. This can lead to some cool storylines. What if when the PCs come into town one of them suddenly is the new ruler? What if someone suspected of being a very evil corrupt guy suddenly gets the mantle? What if the PCs find the divine source or arcane source is a farce and really it's a group running the powerful ritual? What if no ruler is chosen and a massive search for the next leader goes about as those fight for power in the vacuum and try to thwart others? What if the blueness also confers some kind of special ability (unable to make attacks, but gains resist 100 all?) Sounds kind of fun. [/QUOTE]
