 Key abilities in the kingdom system are Int, Wis, Cha – use the best bonus from those three abilities.  A Character can never attract more that his chosen Ability Bonus of settlers as bp as a starter.  After that all growth comes from within the rules.   Key abilities in the kingdom system are Int, Wis, Cha – use the best bonus from those three abilities.  A Character can never attract more that his chosen Ability Bonus of settlers as bp as a starter.  After that all growth comes from within the rules.
