[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 3160530, member: 18701"] As mentioned, the affiliation system is described in the PHB2 book. It's a pretty simple mechanic to add into your game. At first glance it looks a little complicated, but once you read how it actually works it's pretty simple (and fun). The way it works is a player needs to perform specific actions to gain points in the affiliation. Once he's reached a certain number of points, he raises in rank and gains the bonuses for that rank in that affiliation. JustKim who just posted earlier is the person that created the Faction Affiliations I found. I have to give him props; he did a great job & it must have taken a lot of time to create them. You can find his writeups here: [url]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=2870758[/url] I copied his info, stuck it in an excel file and formatted it up all pretty-like with colored boxes and an easy to read layout. I had to remove a few of his criterion because I don't use some of the material he uses for that stuff. And I tweaked/added/removed some of the special abilities. I reworked a couple of the Bleakers insanity features just to spice it up a bit more. But I left most everything untouched so far. I still have several factions to tweak...mostly just trying to add more criterion to replace the ones I removed. JustKim did great in keeping things related to actual 2e Faction fluff from Factol's Manifesto & PS Player's Guide. [/QUOTE]
