The long awaited, trust me it wasn't worth the wait, 1st session happened early Tuesday after, sorry it took this long, long story short it was A Total Wipe out, we used Encounter Tables The G,M made, A roll of A 90 or higher sees us face foe or foes of the next level, the 1st 5 rolls were A 90 or higher, this means that our 5 1st level Characters ended up facing A 6th level Lawful Evil Fighter whose Armor Class was so high that the only 1 of our Pcs that could wound him was The Str 18 Fighter and even he would only succeed on A roll of A 20 or higher on 1D20+3.. You can imagine the result
So we're generating new Pcs, The GM used background tables his brother in law made, and believe it or not The GM's brother in laws background tables are several times worse then The GM's. So when it was my turn to make The 50 rolls the results were as follows. 2 of the rolls were A 100, 8 of the rolls were higher then A 69 but lower then A 84, 28 of the other 40 rolls were higher then A 31 but lower then A 55 and none of the other 12 rolls were lower then a 20
This means that my character is the heir of A Noble Family that has been around for 14,499 years, and my characters homeland is only 14,539 years old and over those 14,499 years my characters family has arranged over 2,361 marriages of convenience, but roughly 93% of those simply added to their considerable fortunes
This means that he has inherited, as in he isn't waiting to inherit, 28 Baronies and 29 titles. But what I don't get is why become A Adventurer, I mean he's A Magic User which usually requires 1 or both of vast wealth or taking on vast debts so I get that he'd want to show off his power, influence, wealth, respect and fortune by avoiding vast debts and/or using part,. admittingly a tiny part, of his families fortune
But the guys not only(?) A Magic User of Noble birth the guys not just The Heir of A Very Minor Count, he actually already is A Very Minor Count and he has a lot more powerful, a lot more influential, a lot more respect, a lot more popularity and has a lot more followers, meaning not just troops, then some minor sovereigns, which even includes his homelands queen, so why take the risk of becoming A Adventurer?, some kind of several mental condition?
In case your wondering that isn't meant in a bad or offensive way, I'm simply wondering if having some kind of several mental condition would justify A Very Minor Count whose inherited 28 Baronies that has a lot more powerful, a lot more influential, a lot more respect, a lot more popularity and has a lot more followers, meaning not just troops, then some minor sovereigns, which even includes his homelands queen, becoming A Adventuring Magic User
So why risk it?, I mean I admit he's only A 1st level Magic User, but he's already got 29 Titles and 28 Domains, if needed and he has time can call upon close to 15,000 professional warriors, not all of them Fighters and/or Soldiers, that will fight for him, he's got A Private Fleet of 203 Ships, all of are captured Pirate Ships, Strong that if needed could give him close to another 50,700 people that can fight and if he wanted to he could call in enough favors to get just under another 11,400 people that can fight
That means that before they've even done the 1st adventure, when we do it, if he's got enough time and warning he could potentially call upon close to 557,70 assorted Fighters, Soldiers and other people that can fight, that's includes things like mercenaries, freelancers, soldiers of fortune and criminals that hope they'll get a pardon that he could potentially ally to his cause. I bet that you can now you see why several minor sovereigns are scared of him?
The 21 most famous ancestors of his that were born in the last 1,079 years consisted of 5 10th level Magic Users, 3 11th level Fighters, 3 7th level Paladins. 3 8th level Rangers. 3 11th level Thieves, 2 13th level Illusionist, 0th leve1 13th level Magic User, 1 10th level Ranger, 1 8th level Illusionist and 1 8th level Paladin
