+ | ====== Entourage ====== | ||
+ | ===== Overview ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Be they students, retainers, new recruits to your order, or neophyte members of your faith, you have access to a small set of dedicated assistants and servants. Entourage Assistants are a role-playing addition, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Examples: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Gandred is an Entourage Assistant to Sir Cyrus who runs a forge temple in Ringbridge. Using Gandred Cyrus' | ||

+ | |||
+ | Most Entourage members expect be employed managing your household, organization or business enterprises. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Build ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Entourage members are the best of the rest. They are a step above the everyday labourer and have had something go right for them in life and, better still, they have decided to take you, your family and your businesses as their employers. Generally these will be Adepts, Experts or Warriors, occasionally Aristocrats - and they will be loyal to you, so long as you treat them properly. No abilities lower than 8, at least one ability must be greater than 12 and no ability should be more than 14 (after racial adjustments). You should check out the NPC Pages in my house rules, as I allow variant [[pathfinder: | ||
+ | * 10 point build | ||
+ | * Full HP at first level | ||
+ | * 30gp starting money | ||
+ | * 1x trait | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Entourage-Assistants ===== | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Entourage-Cousins ===== | ||

+ | * | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Entourage-Allies ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Entourage-Allies follow the same rules as Entourage-Cousins, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Allies never inherit your estates, however, they expect their own estates to be passed down to their children. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Notes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Entourage-Members are your most loyal servants, employees and allies - they go about their business quietly, | ||
+ | - You can find a Entourage-member for just about any role. If you want a live-in masseuse who provides benefits on the side, that's cool. If you want a Travelling Valet, Personal Assistant, Top Class Chef, Cushion Fluffer, Hair Dresser, House Priest, Minstrel, Business Manager etc - that is cool too. | ||
+ | - Entourage-Members are supposed to be a part of your main Character' | ||
+ | - Entourage-members are still NPCs and the DM has the absolute right to take over posting and decision-making for them at any time. However, this will only ever be when you have taken them into danger, abused them etc .... <sub> (or as part of a plot point) </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== How do Entourages get levels? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | All entourages advance one level at the end of each year UP TO level 5. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then Entourage-Assistants stop. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Entourage-Cousins and Entourage-Allies may advance further – BUT they do it by gaining experience. | ||
+ | * Every NPC gets 250xp per year. This represents their general learning etc. | ||
+ | * NPCs with a Local Role get 450xp – Tib, who is bailiff for the leMaistre estates falls into this category. | ||
+ | * NPCs with a state wide role get 650xp – Rikka and Borric (the main officers for Midmarch) get this. | ||
+ | * Characters who controls property (Entourage-Allies) gets an extra 100xp for every BP of income. | ||
+ | * NPCs who play an active role in a Fuzzy thread can get 50XP for RP. Although it needs to be a decent set of posts. | ||
+ | * If the NPC is in an active role, they may get another 100/200 xp per year as ‘pseudo adventuring’ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Optional: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Advancement Example ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | OK, it is not very pretty - but pretty tables are complicated in this wiki :) | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is a straightforward example of how the relationship between a PC can develop into an Entourage-Ally relationship - and how the entourages might level up. It assumes the PC (Hobin) gets one level advancement per year. Things might happen a bit faster (two PC levels some game years) or slower | ||
