Fleet Levy and Naval points System

Fleet Levy and Naval points System

Naval Recruitment System:
Each coastal province shall provide a specific point allotment that is dependent on the region that it lies in. These naval point can be spent as can be distributed however the player wants them to be as long as they conform to the following limitations.

Standard Ships:

Levy Ship: 1 point
Can sail in rivers

Dromond: 3 points
Heavy Galley: 5 points
AOR Ship: 8 points
Grand Warship: 10 points

AOR Ships:

Lannister Carrack: 10 points
Oldtown War Galley: 10 points
Dornish Dromond: 10 points
Stormbreaker Ships: 10 points
Narrow Sea Galleon: 10 points
Riverrun Riverboat: 10 points
Can sail in rivers

Sisterton Pirate Ships: 10 points
White Harbour Warship: 10 points
Ironborn Warship: 10 points
Can sail in rivers

Point Restrictions:

AOR ships cannot take up more than 25% of your total point allotment.
Grand Warships cannot take up more than 10% of your total point allotment.

A player is free to change his fleet composition in between but do note that your fleet will be unavailable for use for 3 RL days after the composition has been changed. This does not apply if you acquire new points and create new ships using only the new points.

A general rule to all ships, each ship can carry 100 people. So if you have 10,000 troops, you need 100 ships to carry them.

Dorne (16 Coastal Regions) – 150 points per region, 2,400 points total (2,500 total with Planky Town regional bonus)

The North (31 Coastal Regions, only 8 usable for fleets) – 150 points per region, 1,500 points total, only 8 regions provide naval points – White Harbor, Oldcastle, Whitsford, Ramsgate, Flint’s Finger, Deepwood, Bear Island, Stony Shore (Split 50% on West, 50% on East)

You can use the link below to access useful excel calculator that will help with determing the total manpower of your regions. It also has a bunch of other helpful features as well.

Notes: Total regional points do not account for points provided by regional bonuses or trade resources (Only player Houses get military points from trade resources. NPC Houses do not benefit from them as it makes it difficult and annoying to try to balance the resource bonuses with the total regional levy points.)

Naval Levy Composition (For NPC Lords)

Naval Levy Composition (For NPC Lords)

The following levy compositions are meant to be used for when you want to calculate the naval levies for your NPC Houses. A player does not have to use the same composition for you own naval levy points but you may do so if you wish.

The Westerlands (82 ships, 250 points)
34 Levy Ships
26 Dromonds
14 Heavy Galleys
6 AOR Ships
2 Grand Warships

The Vale/The Stormlands/The Riverlands (34 ships, 100 points)
17 Levy Ships
8 Dromonds
5 Heavy Galleys
3 AOR Ships
1 Grand Warships

The Crownlands/Dorne/The North (53 Ships, 150 points)
26 Levy Ships
14 Dromonds
8 Heavy Galleys
4 AOR Ships
1 Grand Warships

The Iron Islands (120 ships, 400 points)
46 Levy Ships
36 Dromonds
22 Heavy Galleys
12 AOR Ships
4 Grand Warships

The Reach (70 ships, 225 points)
29 Levy Ships
20 Dromonds
12 Heavy Galleys
7 AOR Ships
2 Grand Warships

===========================================================================

Special Regions: The following regions have a higher points cap than other provinces within their regions due to their regional bonuses. For example, the naval points for the Arbor would be 225 points but since its regional bonus provides an additional 375 naval points, it has a total of 600 naval points as shown below. Therefore, a special naval levy is needed for when the following provinces are controlled by an NPC House.

The Arbor (184 ships, 600 points)
75 Levy Ships
52 Dromonds
33 Heavy Galleys
18 AOR Ships
6 Grand Warships

Lannisport (120 ships, 400 points)
46 Levy Ships
36 Dromonds
22 Heavy Galleys
12 AOR Ships
4 Grand Warships

Fair Isle/Dragonstone/Driftmark (113 ships, 350 points)
50 Levy Ships
30 Dromonds
20 Heavy Galleys
10 AOR Ships
3 Grand Warships

Tarth/Planky Town (82 ships, 250 points)
34 Levy Ships
26 Dromonds
14 Heavy Galleys
6 AOR Ships
2 Grand Warships

King’s Landing/Pyke/Harlaw (166 ships, 550 points)
64 Levy Ships
50 Dromonds
30 Heavy Galleys
17 AOR Ships
5 Grand Warships

Standing Forces Caps

Standing Forces Caps

Lord Paramounts and Merchant Princes may have 20,000 points worth of Professional Soldiers
High Lords may have 15,000 points worth of Professional Soldiers
Lords and Merchants may have 10,000 points worth of Professional Soldiers.
All below the Lord or Merchant rank (except Sellsword characters) may have 7,000 points worth of Professional Soldiers.

Standing Forces do not have percentage caps on how many more men you can have. you can choose to have an all elite cavalry and elite infantry army (as long as you can afford it) but do realize that they will take up more points while giving you an overall lesser number of men.

Army Limitations

Army Limitations

- All armies must march separately (be at least three hexes apart).

- Armies can come together in a location and fight (though this would require exquisite timing to actually work as well as some RP).

- More than one army can camp in the same area during the mustering phase.

- Armies may not number more than 25,000 men.

Game of Thrones RPG/NRP (Pre Aegon's Conquest)

Alright everyone, I have created a test thread for the purpose of formatting the rules to this horrible code.

http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/37314/posts/ooc?page=1#post-1107403

There is the link, I still haven't posted the rules on Combat and Military and a few other things, but this should wet your beaks for now.

Lemme know what you think.

II. Game Systems

Trade & Taxation

Trade

All noble Houses start with two trade routes at the beginning of the game and can gain one more trade route through building upgrades and one more by employing a player controlled merchant. In addition some regions, like the five major ports of Westeros, will receive an additional trade route as a regional bonus bringing the maximum number of trade routes to five. Trade is conducted between two Houses in the game, whether it be two player controlled Houses or a player an a NPC House. However, trade between a player House an a NPC House will only be allowed after the majority of the player trade routes have been exhausted and it will be up to the moderators to determine when that time comes.

Each region carries a specific trade good which carries a bonus.

Stone. +2 Siege Defence, -10% Building Cost
Iron. +1 to land battles, +250 Land Levy points
Grains. +1,200 Land Levy
Furs. +10% Income, +1 to any rolls to convince an AI character to do something (Includes calling your vassals to war)
Perfumes. +2 to any rolls to convince an AI character to do something (Includes calling your vassals to war)
Superior Steeds. -15% Professional Cavalry Hire Cost, -5% Professional Cavalry Upkeep Cost
Gold. +20% Income (Is not stackable)
Fruits. +600 Land Levy, +1 to any rolls to convince an AI character to do something (Includes calling your vassals to war)
Armour. -15% Professional Infantry Hire Cost, -5% Professional Infantry Upkeep Cost

The North: Fur
The Vale: Stone
The Riverlands: Grains
The Iron Islands: Iron
The Crownlands: Perfumes
The Reach: Fruits
The Westerlands: Gold
The Stormlands: Armor
Dorne: Superior Steeds

Trade income is now worth a standard rate of 10,000 per trade route. The five major ports of the realm have a standard rate of 15,000 (for Lannisport, White Harbor, Gulltown) or 20,000 (for Oldtown and King's Landing) from trade to reflect the greater numbers of merchants and trade that flow through these cities. Furthermore The Arbor also will receive a trade income of 15,000 due to the World famous nature of its wares.

Merchant Trade: Merchants will still function as the outlined in the rules but they will also now have a new role to fulfill. That of freelance contractors who can add additional routes to a lord's trade for a set amount of time. To do this a merchant must be willing to use their caravans or ships or warehouse for a Lord's benefit.

E.g. I have three ships. I use two for my own private ventures (usual income generation) and I hire one out to Lord Serry for trade. This mean the ship will not generate usual profit but 10,000 dragons for the Lord less whatever fees the Merchants charges. This will benefits both parties, but beware, a greedy Lord may try to seize your assets!

Note, in order to prevent abuse, if a merchant character is created solely for the reason to add an additional trade route for a lord or a group of lords and he or she is not consistently played, then the mod team reserve the right to terminate the merchant and his contracts.

Taxation

Lords Paramount and High Lords can tax those below them, for a cost.
- Tax may be raised from subordinates in increments of 2.5% of their province's base tax.
- For every 2.5% tax, there is a -2 to levy call up rolls that year. This is done friday to friday, so if I collect 10% tax on Friday the 5th of May I have -8 to call-up rolls until Friday the 12th of May.
- For every 2.5% tax above 10%, a rebellion will be rolled. Base chance 4/20 (20%) with +2 for every 2.5% above 10%. If a rebellion is rolled, d[number of High Lords] will rise up, with the Lords of the rebellion determined by the Mods. The chance of rebellion is not decreased by the charisma trait.

The King may also raise taxes, and these are paid by all Lords Paramount and High Lords.
- The King's Tax is separate from a Lord Paramount's tax. Thus, if the Lannisters are taxing their High Lords at 5% and the King raises a 5% tax, Westerlander High Lords will be paying 10% in taxes, while the Lannisters will also be paying the King 5%.
- The King's tax does not come with automatic rebellion mechanics, as Player Lord Paramounts will decide how to deal with any King's Tax.
- For every 5% King's Tax, +1 to any rolls for AI High Lords if they're forced to decide between siding with their King or their Lord Paramount.
- If the King chooses to only tax is own High Lords in the Crownlands and not every High Lord and Lord Paramount in the realm, then the King’s tax will follow the same rules as the Lord Paramount’s tax.

AI Reactions

AI Reactions

When a player wants an AI character to do something (including raising levies), they must conduct a roll that will determine whether this AI character agrees or not. The base roll is 10/20.

Positive modifiers:
- Character is bound to your House by marriage. +15
- Character is directly sworn to you. +10
- Charisma trait of the character making the request.
- Trade Goods that grant bonuses in this area.
- Moderator discretion, examples...
--- Character has reason to like or trust the character making the request.
--- Character is being blackmailed with something, which may alter their willingness.
--- Character is under threat on their life or position, or their family is, which may alter their willingness.
--- Character has reasons beyond the immediate conversation to agree or disagree with your request.
--- The perceived prestige, power or influence of the character making or receiving the request: very powerful people are less likely to be swayed by weaker people.

Negative modifiers:
- Character is being asked to fight against his own countrymen (eg Westermen fighting Westermen) (Applies only to High Lords: minor Lords sworn directly to a High Lord ignore this). -15
- Character is being asked to betray a House their family is married in to. -15
- Character is being asked to betray someone they are directly sworn to (eg High Lord betraying Lord Paramount, or Lord betraying High Lord) (Only applies when outside forces are asking, such as a Riverman asking a Westerman to betray the Lannisters: does not come into play in internal revolts). -10
- Character is being asked to betray the King/Queen. -5
- Taxation. -2 per 2.5%.
- Moderator discretion, examples...
--- Character has reason to dislike or distrust the character making the request.
--- Character is being blackmailed with something, which may alter their willingness.
--- Character is under threat on their life or position, or their family is, which may alter their willingness.
--- Character has reasons beyond the immediate conversation to agree or disagree with your request.
--- The perceived prestige, power or influence of the character making or receiving the request: very powerful people are less likely to be swayed by weaker people.

Picking a side:
- Characters have 10/20 chance to pick a side if there are sides to choose from.

- Modifiers above are counted once. For example, in a rebellion: 10/20 chance of siding with the LP or the Rebels.

At -15 for killing their own kinsmen, that's -5/20 for siding with anyone.

Being directly loyal to the LP grants +10, giving a 5/20 chance of siding with the Lord Paramount.

Any taxation may reduce that chance further: let's assume 5%, thus -2 for the Lord Paramount, putting him at 3/20.

The Charisma of the 'main rebel' vs the Lord Paramount may increase or reduce the chances: say the main rebel has +5 and the LP +3, that averages to +2 for the Rebel, putting him at -3/20 and the LP at 1/20 (as the Rebel's Charisma makes High Lords less likely to go against him, naturally)

Therefore, after all that, we have -3 for the Rebels and +1 for the LP. As the Rebels have effectively zero chance, a roll is simply done where a natural 20 would have the High Lord raise for the Lord Paramount.

If we added marriage into the Rebel house (+15), giving the Rebels a +12 chance of the AI High Lord taking their side, the roll would be 1-12 Rebel, 13-19 neutral, 20 Lord Paramount.

As you can see, marriage provides a very strong attraction to a cause, and can be the tipping point between having no support or having a few families join your rebellion.

*** *** ***

If an AI Lord raises his levies on your behalf, only 90% of his troops will take to the field, with the rest staying as a castle garrison. During the winter time, only 75% of the AI levy shall be given to you.

Small Council Powers

Small Council Powers

Hand of the King
- As the King's Marshal, he may order the Banners of the Crownlands be raised at any time.
- If the King leaves the city, the Hand acts as Regent until he returns. If the King is incapacitated in any way, the Hand acts as Regent until he is well.

Master of Laws
- The Goldcloaks answer to the Master of Laws, meaning he can use them for his own purposes. This has limits: they won't march in an army with you, but they will arrest people, provide bodyguards or police things in KL.
- May issue arrest warrants on anyone in the Kingdom, sending up to 200 Goldcloaks to make the arrest.

Master of Ships
- Being responsible for maintaining the Royal Fleet provides connections in the shipbuilding industry. The Master of Ships can hire ships at a 25% discount, which applies to ships hired for the Royal Fleet or for his own. This applies to hire cost, not upkeep cost.

Master of Whispers
- The master of whispers receives a 30,000 salary. He hires spies at half price and pays no upkeep.
- The Master of Whispers knows the secret passages in the Red Keep. In event of the Master of Whispers having to make an escape roll from inside the Red Keep, he receives +4 to the roll.

Master of Coin
- Being responsible for the King's finances and record keeping gives the Master of Coin some perks. He can make the following rolls once each year:
-- Embellish money: Roll a 1d20, 1-5 the roll fails, and evidence is left of the attempt. 6-15 it fails, but is covered up. 16-20 it succeeds. If successful, receive 1d20*2000 Dragons.
-- Fabricate fraud: Roll a 1d20, 1-5 the roll fails, and evidence is left of the attempt. 6-15 it fails, but is covered up. 16-20 it succeeds. If successful, a document showing Tax Fraud on the target is produced.
-- Each point into the "Income" trait gives a +1 modifier to the rolls.
-- In event of a 1-5 roll, the evidence can be collected by a successful spy roll on the Master of Coin searching for evidence of foul play. The Master of Coin is encouraged to ask for these rolls via PM to prevent metagaming against him.

Grand Maester
- A strong knowledge of poison grants him +2 to assassination rolls, as he can equip himself or an assassin with suitable poison.
- That same knowledge makes him valuable as an ally, where assassination rolls done inside the Red Keep receive a -2 modifier. A moderator should contact the Grand Maester player to find out whether he would help the assassination target or simply let him die while pretending to save him.
- If a spy is captured in the Red Keep, and the Grand Maester is used to interrogate him, the information roll is given a +2 modifier as the Grand Maester uses his knowledge of substances to make the spy talk.
- On the other hand, there are plenty of substances to shut a man up. -2 to the information roll if the Grand Maester so chooses. (Inform a moderator by PM whether you are using your skills to loosen the tongue or shut the spy up)

Province Limitation and Hereditary Titles

Province Limitation and Hereditary Titles

Rule: No one Lord can receive income from more than one province. In the event a character RP's the addition of a new province to their lands (through conquest, inheritance etc.) they have two choices.
1. Name a loyal servant Knight or Lord of those lands, thus raising a new noble House.
2. Raise a family member to the Lordship, thus raising a cadet branch of your family.

This choice must be made (and a Lord named) within 2 RL days. If the player chooses option 1 then the province functions like any vassal province in the game. If the player chooses option 2 then the character raised will now have their own home thread and separate income functioning as a separate Lord.

As an addendum to this rule there shall now be certain non-hereditary titles within each region that a Lord Paramount can grant.
1. Twenty percent of the incomes for these lands must be paid to the Lord Paramount in tax, the remaining eighty per cent goes to the holder of the title.
2. The bearers of these title can be a Knight or higher.
3. The bearers of these titles do not form a noble house of their own.
4. These titles are accounted a great honor, but they do not have to last for life. Should a character be removed from this position (eg to conduct an ambassadorial mission) then the title will be passed to another.
5. LP's will create the home threads for these titles and will receive PM's from the players detailing upgrades bought and the changes in levy numbers etc. (Only when they are actually created)
6. Holders of these titles will be expected to purchase at least two upgrades during their time as wardens of these strongholds.
6. It is strongly suggested that LP's do not simply name another of their characters to these positions but rather use them to boost RP with vassal Houses. You may name one of your characters to such a position, but if it is for too long they may be removed at the discretion of the mods.

These title are as follows, please note the bonuses are not yet completely decided:

Ruined Holdfasts

Ruined Holdfasts

The following structures are regarded as 'Ruined Holdfasts' which may be garrisoned by armies but have only +2 to defences and will last only 6 months (3.5 RL days) if besieged.

These provinces may be granted to anyone deemed eligible by the Lord Paramount, elevating them to Lord status, but will only produce income and have a levy once repaired to their former glory. It costs 200% of their base province income and 1 year (1 RL week) to complete repairs, after which they become fully functioning provinces in their own right.

The provinces are:

North: Moat Cailin
Riverlands: Oldstones
Westerlands: Castamere, Tarbeck Hall
Stormlands: Summerhall
Crownlands: The Whispers
Dorne: Nymerswell (Holdfast of Shandystone)
Reach: Manderford
Vale: Crow's Barrens

Assassinations

Assassinations

The Ways to Kill
Anonymous Assassination
1. Pick your target
2. Be sure to have a good reason for the assassination. This reason must be relevant and not OOC based. Moderators reserve the right to reject any assassination request if there is no valid reason that you wish to kill the target.
3. PM a moderator stating: The Reason, The Location, The Target and the Items you wish to use. Any character traits aiding assassinations should also be detailed.
4. The mod will post the rest, detailing the attempt, whether it succeeded or failed (and if so, whether you got captured). Your identity will not be released.
5. The time stamp of the PM will freeze the moment in time. If a character leaves the thread after a moderator responds to the assassination request, it still applies retroactively.

Open Assassination
1. Pick your target and get in the same thread as them
2. Post requesting an assassination on your target. Ensure you post what equipment and traits regarding assassinations you have.
3. If possible and time permits, notify a moderator with your reason for the assassination.
4. The mod will post the rest (success/failure, whether escaped)
5. The time stamp of the PM will freeze the moment in time. If a character leaves the thread after a moderator responds to the assassination request, it still applies retroactively.

Secret Open Assassination
1. Pick your target and get in the same thread as them. They must acknowledge that they are alone.
2. From here, follow standard open assassination steps.
3. If possible and time permits, notify a moderator with your reason for the assassination.
4. A mod will post the result. If successful, you are free to leave. If not, an escape roll is done, in this case a simple 10/20.
5. The time stamp of the PM will freeze the moment in time. If a character leaves the thread after a moderator responds to the assassination request, it still applies retroactively.

Execution by the King
If at any point you find yourself imprisoned in the Kings dungeons, he may at liberty lop off your head without an escape roll. If, after 4 real life days of captivity he has not killed you, you receive an escape roll, weighted against you. For every real life day after this, you receive one escape roll.
If you have been caught by a Lords men and transferred to the King, you receive one escape roll weighted against you, before you are put in the dungeons. After that, the above rules apply.

The Rolls and Chances
Depending on your rank and location, the chances of being assassinated differ. Below, players are split into either Noble or Yoeman. A noble here is defined as: King, Prince/Princess, Lord/Lady, Lords Bannerman, the High Septon, Most Devout Septon, Lord Commander of the Night Watch, Commander of a NW Castle, First Officers of the Night Watch (First Builder, Steward Ranger), Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Any seat upon the Small Council.
A yoeman is any man who isn't one of the above ranks.

At your Home (the thread you use to receive visitors)
Nobles: 2/20
Yoemen: 5/20

In a neutral house (any other home thread except yours and the assassins)
Nobles: 4/20
Yoemen: 8/20

In the assassins home (the thread he uses to receive visitors)
Nobles: 15/20
Yoemen: 17/20

Any other indoor situation (ie a RP that takes place inside, like a wedding)
Both: 10/20

An outside situation
Both: 13/20

Group Assassinations
If more than one person wishes to murder someone, the assassins may work together. Each extra person wishing to assassinate will add 1 to the chances of success. This comes at a price however, as groups are easier to catch than a lone ranger. If the group is attempting a closed or open assassination, each extra assassin takes one from the escape rolls, making it more likely you get caught.

Hired Help
There are options to help reduce the risk of an assassination.

Retainer (nobles only)
Instead of attempting yourself, you may opt to have a retainer (an NPC from your household) attempt for you. In this case, you must equip the retainer with any equipment. Note that retainers tend to be clumsy, so 2 is taken from the success and escape chances. If the retainer gets caught, you automatically lose the equipment you gave him, and standard questioning rules apply.

Assassin
If one is willing to spend some money, say 100000 Dragons, one may hire the luxury of an assassin, who benefits from a +2 to all rolls, even if caught. With the assassin, there is less chance of your identity being revealed.

Faceless Man
If one is entirely desperate, and will easily part with a sum of 500000 Dragons, you buy the efficiency of a faceless man. The only way a victim may escape from the Faceless man is by rolling a straight 20. Even then, there is no escape roll as the Faceless Man kills by poison, and leaves before the chance of being discovered.

Special Items
Certain items may be bought in the shop to either aid or discourage assassination. Details may be found in the shop thread.

Armour
If a target is wearing armour, the modifier of that armour becomes an anti-assassination modifier, however the target must have posted he is wearing armour, unless he is on a battlefield, in which case he is assumed to be wearing armour.

Battlefield Assassinations
If a commander is killed on the battlefield, morale takes a hit. Reflecting this, is a noble character gets assassinated on the battlefield, they cause a hit to the rolls according to rank.

King is assasinated -5 to the armies battle roll
Lord is assasinated -3 to the armies battle roll
Bannerman is assasinated -2 to the armies battle roll

Escape Rolls

Escape Rolls

Escape chance from prison is set at 1/20 with modifiers added as per Moderator discretion, with examples including bribed guards or people with influence aiding in the escape (eg Varys and Jaime helping Tyrion escape).

When an Assassin kills someone, or tries to, their escape chance is set to 20/20 with the following modifiers:

· If using a melee weapon -2
· If in a home thread -5
· If in an enclosed area -1
· Every guard present -1
· Every neutral player present -1
· Mods may, at their discretion, take up to -3

If you fail your escape roll, you are at the mercy of your captor. If you yourself attempted the assassination, you may as well start kissing the feet of your captor and hope the King forgives. If you sent a retainer or an assassin, they will be tortured for information. The rolls below are for a retainer, for an assassin take two from the chances for each roll.

1-5 - Captive dies in questioning without revealing anything
6-10 - Captive dies in questioning but reveals the identity of his master
11-20 - Captive survives and reveals the identity. He may be used as evidence in court.

Spy Network

Spy Network

Prerequisite: Be a Lord (or higher), be Master of Whispers, or be a Merchant Prince.

In a Spy Network you may employ a maximum of five spies, each costing 30,000 dragons hire fee and 5,000 dragons salary. These spies may be sent to spy on specific characters, and can start feeding information back to their master after one week.

Spys attempt to infiltrate into the Household of the target, negatively modified by the target's counterspy trait:

1-5 spy caught during infiltration
6-13 spy unable to infiltrate
14-20 spy infiltrates

You may then request one roll per week for information in an Information Roll, +modified by the controlling character's Spymaster trait:

1-5 spy is caught
6-10 no information gathered
11-13 vague information (eg, who they meet with, where they went)
14-16 some information (eg, the general tone of discussion: treason, rebellion, framing someone)
17-19 most information (eg, some specifics. Rebelling against the King, framing the Master of Laws)
20 everything

If the spy is caught, he reveals information. This roll is +modified by the torturing characters counterspy trait. Torture Roll:

1-5 spy dies revealing nothing
6-10 spy survives, but cannot be cracked. He can be used as evidence if his employer can be determined through other means, or executed.
11-15 spy reveals his employer
16-20 spy reveals his employer and any information he's already passed back

Wards and Squires

Wards and Squires

A character may send one of his children to ward at another player's castle or that of an NPC. Alternatively they can attach them as a page/squire to an individual character. All wardships end by the child's 16th year and squireships would end by the child's 18th year, or on an agreed-upon age by the parties involved.

Wards

A ward is the son or daughter of a Lord who has been sent to the court of another Lord in order for him or her to be tutored and protected under the other Lord’s care.
-- Players are allowed to send one of their young sons or daughters to be a ward to another player (no NPC Houses). The benefit of sending their son or daughter off is that they will have a chance to earn one additional skill point by the time the wardship is over.
-- The warding RP can be done directly through the Lord that the ward has been sent to or through his servants like the Lord’s Master, Septon, etc.
-- The skill point will be awarded if the moderators have determined that there has been enough RP to justify the skill point.
-- There is no set amount of Rp that needs to be done and it will be determined on a case by case basis.
-- A ward can only gain a skill point in either: wealth, charisma, spymaster, counterspying, assassin, logistician or pathfinder but only if the Lord has proficiency in that trait (E.g. they cannot gain +1 to spying if the Lord has no such trait)
-- A family can take on a maximum of 4 wards, with no more than 2 being from outside the region.
-- A ward may earn an additional trait if the moderators determine that there has been sufficient RP done to justify the additional point.

Squire/Page.

A squire is a young nobleman who serves a Lord or knight before he can become a knight himself. A page is a young boy who is in training for knighthood, ranking next below a squire in the personal service of a knight or Lord.
-- Children under the age of 14 will be considered a page
-- Children above 14 will be considered a squire and he is expected to accompany his master on the field of battle (in other words they would take part in combat)
-- A squire/page will follow the same requirements as a ward in order to gain a military trait of their choosing (as long as their master has said trait).
-- A squire must serve his master for at least two years before he can officially become a knight.
-- At the age of 18 and having been a squire for at least 2 years the squire may be knighted. They will receive a horse (purely RP) from their master and one more extra bonus point (if there is sufficient RP) in a different skill to the one they improved as a squire. If they are a younger son they may even gain a place in the court of their master's Lord (as an example).
-- Only a knight, or a sitting Lord may take a squire. (No Littlefinger or Varys having a squire). The Ironborn and Northerners can still adopt squires even though they don't follow knighthood, call them shield bearers or something!
-- A knight may have no more than two squires at any given time.

Test

I.II Character Rules (Cont.)

Freedman Professions - Sellswords, Merchants, and the Priesthood

The freedmen professions are professions only available to those who hold no other rank.

Sell Swords

1. Starting Up

Characters can be either a Sellsword or Sellsail. They start at the rank of Sellsword/Sellsail. Novice rank is for RP purposes (eg your Sellsword has a son, he can be a Novice Sellsword). You must be either a Sellsword or Sellsail, you cannot be both.

Ranks are:
Novice Sellsword/sail
Sellsword/sail - Starts with 15,000 Dragons. 8000 salary.
Mercenary Captain - 12,000 salary and promotion money.
Company Captain - 20,000 salary and promotion money.

2. Guilds

Your character starts off without a guild to his name. You may only own one guild.

No Guild: You may have 1,500 points in your company. You may go over the 1,500 point limit by 1 unit.

Small Guild: 10,000 Dragons. Allows you to have a home thread named "CompanyName, CityItsIn". Maximum 2,500 points. Same rules as above.

Medium Guild: 30,000 Dragons. Promotion to Mercenary Captain. Max 4,000 points. Same rules as above.

Large Guild: 50,000 Dragons. Promotion to Company Captain. Max 8,000 points.

3. Buildings

The mercenary can construct some addons to their guild to assist them. Bonuses listed here are applied directly to your character.

Basic Additions:
10,000 Dragons, requires a Small Guild.

- Map Room. Plan your campaigns and battles more effectively. Grants +1 Field Battles/Sea Battles.
- Company Medic. Hire a trained healer for your company. +1 Survival rolls.
- Raven Roost. Acquire a Raven roost. Allows you to send and receive ravens, which non-nobles normally cannot do.

Advanced Additions
20,000 Dragons, requires a Medium Guild.

- Training field. Drill your troops for superior discipline. +1 Field Battles/Sea Battles, +1 Duels. Requires a map room.
- Medical Tent. Expand your company medic into a dedicated battlefield medical team. +1 Survival rolls. Requires a company medic.
- Quartermaster. An organised armoury and accounts process yields benefits. 25% cheaper weapons and armour.

Elite Additions
30,000 Dragons, requires a Large Guild.

- Drill Sergeant. A grizzled, experienced veteran retained for training purposes. +2 Field Battles/Sea Battles, +2 Duels. Requires a training field.
- Battlefield Surgeon. A highly experienced and talented man of medicine. +1 Survival rolls. Requires a medical tent.
- Recruiting Sergeant. A veteran kept on to recruit potential new fighters. Allows an additional 1000 points to be fielded.

Specialisms
50,000 Dragons, requires a Large Guild, only one allowed.

- Master Scout. A quick, quiet, elite pathfinder. +4 to your own detection rolls, -4 to detection rolls made against you. Only works in the field, won't help you hide in a castle, for example.
- Master Recruiter. A true poet, attracting many young men to your company. Allows an additional 3000 points to be fielded. Requires Recruiting Sergeant.
- Master Surgeon. This man could amputate your leg and attach a peg-leg before you'd even noticed he'd started. +2 survival rolls. Requires Battlefield Surgeon.
- Master Armsman. What do we say to the God of Death? Not today! +2 duels. Requires Drill Sergeant.
- Master Tactician. Apparently there is no such thing as a no-win scenario. +2 field battles/sea battles. Requires Drill Segeant.

4. Perks

- Knowing the trade enables you to hire your men at half the cost.
- Being that you ARE a mercenary company, you don't pay upkeep costs. You may set your own hire price to the discretion of the moderators: a 15,000 man company would not take a 5,000 dragon fee.
- A high level mercenary guild represents a very powerful standing army, that could significantly augment any force and shift the balance of power.

5. Drawbacks

- Be wary of where you site your guild. Fuedal law means the local Lords may shut it down. (eg Lord of Lannisport can do it in Lannisport, Lannisters can do it anywhere in the Westerlands, King can do it anywhere in Westeros).
-- Your guild house does not cease to exist, you merely cease to own it. You can try to get it back through talk or steel.
-- You keep the standing troops you have if you lose the guild house, but cannot hire any other troops until you get it back or make a new one.
-- You lose all the perks given by the guild house if you lose it.

- Be wary of who your enemies are. Mercenaries have very few ways to increase their protection against assassination and virtually no standing in courts.

6. Contracts

A Sellsword may enter into contracts with any employer who has the coin, but there are stipulations in the contract by game rules:

- The money offered must be appropriate to the company being hired. Contracts may be vetoed by the Mods if it is felt players are colluding to increase their forces at low rates.

- Companies must be hired for a specific, and finite, job. You may not contract a company 'for ever' to simply be in your employ. They must be contracted for a set period of time for a set job, which cannot include obvious loopholes in the above statement such as 'guard my home town and wait for any more instructions': sellswords must be provided a contract that has a feasible termination, examples include "raid the Riverlands", "Fight in my army for the duration of this war", "Protect the Bloody Gate until the Lannisters are defeated", and so on.

- Sellsword players must not set themselves up as serving a single client all game. Previous versions of GoT have suffered from Sellsword players becoming full-time soldiers for one other character for the entire game, and this is being stopped.

Merchants

For those with a smaller thirst of blood and a respect for knowledge they should work on becoming a merchant where battles are fought with words and coin, instead of men and sword.

Starting Up

1. Players start off as a Lesser Merchant: 36,000 purse and 24,000 weekly wage. There are three trees they can follow, and their Merchant character must start in one (and only one):

Landlord
The Lodging House tree. This lets them buy and operate Lodging Houses in provinces of their choice. They start off with a single Level One Lodging House in whatever city they want to be in.

Caravan Master
The Caravan tree. This lets them buy and operate Caravans. They start off with a Warehouse and 1 Caravan in whatever city they want to be in. Warehouse is mainly for RP purposes.

Sea Master
The naval tree. This lets them buy and operate Trade Ships. They start off with a Wharf and 1 Ship in whatever city they want to be in. Wharf mainly for RP purposes.

Merchant Lord, Unique Class

1. The class operates under all the rules and restrictions of the merchant class

2. The Merchant-Lord collects only 25% of the land income

3. The risk rate for assets in his own keep drop from 2/20 to 1/20.

4. They do not collect the bannerman stipend

5. Merchant Lords must be GIVEN lands by a lord qualified to award them lands. They may NOT start with their own lands (as in registering with them)

6. They may raise only half of the levy for any reason.

Buildings

2. The buildings and incomes are re-organised to balance the trees:

Rules
- You must have at least one asset of the previous level before acquiring one of the level above it.
- This is tree-specific: You cannot buy a level 2 Caravan without a level 1 Caravan. Level 1 Ships or Lodging Houses do not count.
- You may decommission lesser assets once you have moved up. If you have a level 1 Ship, and buy a level 2 ship, you are regarded as being on level 2 of that tree. You can disband your level 1 assets and continue to purchase level 2 items.
- You must start from level 1 on the tree if, for any reason, you lose all your assets in that tree. For example, if you own 4 level three ships, and all 4 are lost, you are considered "ruined" and must start from level 1 ships to rebuild your company. See "Losses" for more detailed information.
- There is a 1 week cooldown between purchases: your buildings start working for you the moment you buy them (and their incomes can be added to your vault at the turn of the year), but you must stay on the tier you are on for 1 year before moving up. (eg you cannot buy a L1 Ship and then immediately purchase a L2 Ship in the same year)
- Assets don't "upgrade": if you have a level 1 Inn and buy a level 2 Inn, you have a level 1 and 2 Inn, not just a level 2 Inn. You may need to delete your level 1 Inn once you buy the level 2 Inn if you're at your limit of ownable assets.

Level One Trade Asset
- 15,000 to acquire.
- 5,000 Dragons a year in income.
- Small Inn
- Small Caravan
- Trade Cog

Level Two Trade Asset
- Costs 30,000 to acquire.
- 15,000 Dragons a year in income.
- Lodging House

- Trade Hulk

Level Three Trade Asset
- Costs 60,000 to acquire
- 30,000 Dragons a year in income.
- Large Tavern
--- Grants +1 to spy rolls for your Merchant in the city it is located in. Represents tavern gossip yielding information. These do not stack: having 3 Large Taverns in King's Landing nets +1, not +3.
--- Merchants can hide people or items in the inns in secret. If, somehow, their pursuers trace them to the inn a detection roll must be made, weighted in favour of the hidden player/thing.
- Lucrative Trade Caravan
--- Grants a private army of 50 Light Infantry per Caravan, representing sellsword henchmen/guards, which can be used as the Merchant pleases.
- Trade Galley
--- The Galley can be converted for use as a Warship, and its large size gives it a +3 to battle rolls.

Level Four Trade Asset (Only one allowed)
- Costs 120,000 to acquire.
- 60,000 Dragons a year in income.
- Whorehouse (Tier 4 Lodging House)
--- Grants +2 spy rolls for your Merchant in the city it is located in. This represents the prostitutes passing along information from clients.
--- Secret entrance/exit. Clients value privacy, players or items hidden in this inn get an escape roll if their enemies make a successful detection roll. If the hidden player/item makes a successful escape roll, they escape without being seen.
- Trade Route (Tier 4 Caravan)
--- Grants the Merchant a private army of 200 Heavy Infantry that he employs on his Trade Route. They can be used for other henchmen things...
- Smuggling Ship (Tier 4 Ship)
--- Allows the ship to run a blockade on a coastal settlement with a 15/20 chance of success. This will reset the siege timer on the besieged town back to 1 year (1 RL week)

No Guild House
- Merchant can own up to 3 assets, all of which must be level one and all of which must be in his tree.

- Merchant can own up to 5 assets, which must be levels one, two or three, and must be in his tree.

Level Four House
- Trade Palace
- Costs 120,000 Dragons
- Merchant can own up to 7 assets, which can be of any level, and in any tree. Remember the rules about asset levels.
- Merchant promoted from Merchant to Merchant Prince.

Losses

4. Losses

Every merchant must take risks and suffer losses. For every asset every year do a 2/20 roll for loss, eg to burning down, bandits or storms. There are unique rules for building tiers for Merchants:

- You can only buy higher level assets if you have an asset on the same level or one below that level. For example you must own a L2 or L3 Ship to buy L3 ships, and you must own a L3 asset to get the L4 version. If you own a L4 asset you can buy anything from L1 to L3, though.
- This is tree-dependant. They need to be assets of the same tree.

- Thus you are presented with a risk: you can upgrade all of your assets to Level 3, for example, and make a lot of money. If you lose your L3 assets, however, you will have to start over from level 1. It may be prudent to avoid centralising all your assets to protect from seizure or to keep some lower level assets around. You'll make a little less money but will have some insurance.

- All is not lost. You can see that these assets have no build time: Merchants buy things, they don't build. If you've lost all your higher level assets, but have coin to spare, you can pay the L1+L2+L3 cost (15+30+60=105k) to "powerlevel" up the tree in one swift movement. If you decide to do this, you do not keep the L1 and L2 version of the assets: this is a fast-track back to higher levels for those with the coin to do it, getting you an asset on level 3 allowing you to purchase more level 3 assets at normal cost. Again, this is tree-dependant.

Final Remarks

5. Closing Words

Merchants have the ability to be significantly powerful non-state actors. Hiring or owning private armies or fleets, having the money to bribe or support/attack others with spys, assassins, kickbacks, paid-for allies, what-have-you.

Be wary of your power and of the Fuedal lifestyle. Lords and Kings might seize your assets if you become a threat: make sure you have well-paid allies in positions of power before you get involved in politics, and that your assets are spread out. Only the King can seize from anywhere: a business in the Reach will be safe from Lannister hands.

The Priesthood

Religious Roles - Structure and Pay

Septon Ranks
1. Septon. Starting rank. 8,000 Dragons salary.

2. Veteran Septon. Requires Medium Sept. 16,000 Dragons salary. Only one may exist per High Lordship, which you must be promoted to.

3. Influential Septon. Requires Large Sept. 30,000 Dragons salary. Only one may exist per Lord Paramountcy, which you must be promoted to.

4. High Septon. Requires Grand Sept. 50,000 Dragons salary. Only one may exist in-game at a time, which you must be promoted to.

Promotion: The High Septon decides all promotions. Promotion to the rank of High Septon is done by the Most Devout. There are 8 most devout. In the event that all 8 are not players rolls will be done to determine who they support based on RP, decided by the Mods. The King or Hand of the King may appoint a High Septon themselves, overruling the Most Devout.

Note: if you purchase, for example, a Large Sept but are not promoted to a Lord Paramount's Sept, you do not become an Influential Septon. You have the potential to be one, but must acquire the position before becoming the rank.

Note: Your Sept "goes with you": when you move from a Septon (of, say, Nunn's Deep) to a Veteran Septon (of, say, Goldentooth), your Sept isn't lost. All upgrades transfer to your new Sept.

Red Priests
1. Red Priest. Starting rank. 8,000 Dragons salary. Requires conversion of a minor lord to establish a small temple.

2. Veteran Red Priest. Requires Medium temple. 16,000 Dragons salary. Only one may exist per High Lordship, which necessitates the conversion of a High Lord.

3. High Priest. Requires Large temple. 30,000 Dragons salary. Only one may exist per Lord Paramountcy, which necessitates the conversion of a Lord Paramount

Promotions in the Red Faith are determined by the position of the Priest relative to the political structure of Westeros. Advancement depends upon the priest's ability to find and convert a coopeerative lord that consents to the establishment of temples.

Religious Role Abilities

All religious classes will receive half the number of trait points usually allotted and will not be able to claim any military traits.

Septons

The faith of the seven is the most politically relevant of Westeros. Septons can influence the region they preach in. The small folk listen to the words of the holy men very closely. Septons can ask for one roll each year of the following:

Tithe
D20 x (.005 x province income) = the donation

Denouncement

Septons can denounce whoever they wish, but the position of the individual they denounce can make the denouncement less successful. A successful denouncement will give a lord -10% levy size for one year.

Minor Lord: 1-15
High Lord: 1-10
Lord Paramount: 1-5
King/Queen/Small Council: 1-3

Sermonizing (either to a section of a battle line or within a city to gain converts)
1-10 = failure
11-16 = 10% conversion, OR +1 modifier to battle roll for a section of the line
16-20 = 15% conversion, OR +2 modifier to battle roll for a section of the line

Faith Militant

Septons may gather warlike men around them in order to crusade for the faith. The militant side of the faith has plagued lords for decades as it attempts to bring lordly behavior more in line with strictures of the faith in a forceful way.

Septons may roll for the formation of a religious army composed mostly of peasants unless a leading political figure legitimizes the Faith Militant, in which case the composition of the forces will change. If the High Septon asks, a modifier of x5 will be given. If a Devout asks, a modifier of x2 is given.

1-3 = failure
4-8 = 1,000 light infantry/archers
8-12 = 2,000 light infantry/archers
13-16 = 3,000 light infantry/archers/some heavy infantry
17-19 = 4,000 light infantry/archers/some heavy infantry
20 = 5,000 light infantry/archers/some heavy infantry

Red Priests

The Red Faith epitomizes the more mystical nature of religious belief. Exported from Essos, the Red Faith has a slight foothold in Westeros that may be broadened by demonstrating the power of the Red God.

Necromancy

Red Priests can ask R'hllor to intervene and banish death.

1-3 = failure
4-8 = grants one year of extra life
8-12 = grants 2 years of extra life
13-16 = grants 3 years of extra life
17-19 = grants 4 years of extra life
20 = grants 5 years of extra life

Assassination

The Lord of Light gives life, and he takes it away. For each roll a Red Priest requests, death rolls for the priest will be moved forward by two years.

1-5 = failure
6-11 = a shade is generated to be consumed by the target and killed by poison (10% chance of success)
12-14 = a shade is generated to cause an accident to kill the target (20% chance of success)
15-17 = a shade is generated in the form of a wild animal (30% chance of success)
18-19 = a shade is generated in the form of a woman/boy who issues a kiss of death (40% chance of success)
20 = a shade is generated in the form of a man clad in black with a dagger (50% chance of success)

Tithe
D20 x (.005 x province income) = the donation

Fire Gazing (UNOLOCKABLE with Red Temple)
1-5 = failure
6-12 = hazy vision depicting something of yearly importance
13-16 = A less hazy vision depicting something of yearly importance
17-19 = A clear vision depicting something of yearly importance
20 = A completely accurate vision of something of yearly importance

Drowned Priests

The peculiar faith of the Iron Islands serves as an inspiration to do mighty deeds. Drowned Men may do one of the following per year.

Motivation

Drowned Priests can motivate the Ironborn to perform better for a space of one year through shaming and motivation.

1-5 = failure
6-12 = +1 to raid rolls
13-16 = +2 to raid rolls
17-19 = +3 to raid rolls
20 = +4 to raid rolls

Drowning
Drowned Men may perform a ritual drowning of any Lord. 10% chance of death, if successful, the Lord gains +1 stability for the year and +1 to raid rolls for the year.

Seaworthiness (for the year only)

1-5 = failure
6-12 = +1 to sea battle rolls
13-16 = +2 to sea battle rolls
17-19 = +3 to sea battle rolls
20 = +4 to sea battle rolls

Faith of the Old Gods

An ancient and mysterious religious rite that values interactions with nature, wisdom and knowledge. Characters may use a single skill, never both. Characters with a skill cannot be Lords or heirs to a Lordship.

Greenseer

Individuals granted extra sight. One roll per year only

1-5 = failure
6-12 = hazy dream depicting something of yearly importance
13-16 = A less hazy dream depicting something of yearly importance
17-19 = A clear dream depicting something of yearly importance
20 = A completely accurate vision of something of yearly importance

Warg
An individual with the ability to communicate with and share the bodies of animals. Any Warg that asks for more than one roll per animal to use per year will have a 50% chance of getting too mentally absorbed into the animal's psyche and effectively lose their human soul resulting in death, pretty much.

Inhabiting a beast
1-5 = failure
6-20 = success

Inhabiting a small, nonthreatening animal
1-5 = failure
6-20 = success

The Conversion System

- Each High Lordship starts at 100% whatever religion it worships in canon.
- Priesthood characters can do rolls to convert the populace. Conducting a roll in any province of a High Lordship will effect that High Lordship.
- Good or Bad RP of the conversion efforts will apply positive or negative modifiers to the rolls. As such, a well RP'd tale of a priest gathering a flock will be more successful than a barebones 'rolls please' campaign.
---- Once-a-week posts of a sermon doesn't count as 'good RP', make a story of it.

Requirements for Conversion

- A player trying to convert a High Lordship must create a thread called "Converting [High Lordship name, eg The Twins]" where, in the first post, updated track is kept of the %age converted and any army the player has amassed.
- Threads not kept in-date will result in rolls not being done or being done based on the information in the first post at the time of rolling, and not what is technically the most recent development. Keep the first post updated.

Penalties

- At 25% populace following a different religion to the High Lord's, -1 Stability per year.
- At 50% populace following a different religion to the High Lord's, -2 Stability per year.
- At 75% populace following a different religion to the High Lord's, d20*500 peasant revolters. (70/30 l.inf/archer)
- At 100% populace following a different religion to the High Lord's, d20*1,000 peasant revolters (20/50/30 h.inf/l.inf/archer)

Bonuses

- At 25% of the populace following the religion of the priest, Faith Militant rolls can be conducted. They cannot be conducted if your religion is less than a quarter of the High Lordship's populace.
- At 100% of the populace following the religion of the priest, the revolter army that spawns (as listed above in penalties) follows that priest's orders.

AI High Lords

- If the campaign is conducted in an AI High Lord's provinces, the following happens:
-- At 25% of the province populace converted, d20 rolled:
---- 1-2, the High Lord summons his levy and attacks you. If you have no army, he will arrest you, subject to an 14/20 chance escape roll.
---- 3-9, the AI High Lord brings in a priest of the ruling religion to fight back, and he will conduct one roll a year to counter-convert.
---- 10-18, nothing happens.
---- 19-20, the High Lord converts and +5 modifier granted to all future conversion rolls in that High Lordship.

-- At 50% of the province populace converted, d20 rolled:
---- 1-5, the High Lord summons his levy and attacks you. If you have no army, he will arrest you, subject to a 10/20 chance escape roll.
---- 3-15, the AI High Lord brings in a priest of the ruling religion to fight back, and he will conduct one roll a year to counter-convert.
---- 16-18, nothing happens.
---- 19-20, the High Lord converts and +5 modifier granted to all future conversion rolls in that High Lordship.

-- At 75% of the province populace converted, d20 rolled:
---- 1-18, the High Lord summons his levy and attacks you. If you have no army, he will arrest you, subject to a 4/20 chance escape roll.
---- 19-20, the High Lord converts and +5 modifier granted to all future conversion rolls in that High Lordship.

-- At 100% of the province populace converted, the High Lord summons 75% of his levy and barricades himself within his keep, and sends word to the Lord Paramount begging for aid.

-- If the High Lord converts, any roll that results in arrest is an arrest attempt by zealots of the religion you are supplanting. At 100% of the populace, he will send a letter to his Lord Paramount declaring his religion, but will not summon any levy.

Player High Lords

- A player can either bring in a player-controlled Septon (you cannot register a character purely for this purpose) to fight back with their own conversion rolls, or write to the highest ranking Septon in their area to request aid (eg if your Lord Paramount has a player Septon, or the High Septon if not. Players not of the Seven can simply 'bring in' a preacher of their own faith to defend their lands, but it is an AI preacher).
- Alternatively, the player can take matters into their own hands and attempt to arrest or kill the intruding priest.
- The Lord Paramount's Septon can go himself to fight back, or send an AI Septon who can do one roll a year same as a player Septon. The High Septon may only send player or AI Septons, he cannot go himself. The AI Septon will only do conversion rolls, and will not engage in any other politicking, raising of forces, or subterfuge.

Test

I. Character Rules

Roleplay Rules

Roleplay Rules

These are a few extra rules below that just promote fair game play or do not belong under any specific headings.

Leaving a thread
All characters who posted in a thread are assumed to remain in that thread unless they post a leaving post or after two full days of non-activity. This means that if you posted in a thread that you were there, and then someone an hour later assassinated you, you can’t claim that you were no longer there unless you specifically posted that you left before the assassination attempt was made.

Letting Others Respond
In your posts if they involve actions of other characters it is a rule that you must allow them a chance to respond and refrain from one post wins. For example, you cannot just post "John cut off Jimmy’s finger". You can however post "John went to cut off Jimmy’s finger" as you can see the second version allows Jimmy to respond to your action before you've done it (since you can’t take back a cut off finger).

Dice Rolls
All chance rolls (i.e. a birth roll, or an assassination attempt) are based on a D20, and have been done so that regardless of modifiers a natural 1 will always succeed, whilst a natural 20 will always fail. Thus a roll of 15/20 will succeed on 1 - 15, and fail on a 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20. All vs rolls on the other hand (duels, jousts, etc) are based of the highest score wins. A + modifier always improves the roll odds, while a -Modifier always worsens the odds.

Winter
Every year there shall be a roll with a 10/20 chance of success to see if Winter is on the way, and when Winter is on the way there will be a roll with a 15/20 chance of success to see if Autumn ends. Then the same process is done in reverse. It must be Winter or Summer for at least 2 years before rolling starts for the change of seasons. During Winter every character shall have a roll to see if they die, this roll will have a 3/20 chance for all.

Bastards
In Westeros there are brothels a plenty and it is known for men to have several Bastards within their lifetime. The surnames of bastards are as follows:
Storm for those born in the Stormlands
Hill for those born in the Westerlands
Flowers for those born in the Reach
Snow for those born in the The North
Stone for those born in the The Eyrie
Waters for those born in the The Crownlands
Sand for those born in the Dorne
Pyke for those born in the Iron Islands
Rivers for those born in the Riverlands
A Bastard may not claim inheritance, although they can if legitimized by the King.

-Aging
Characters age at a rate of one in game year per real week. At the age of 50 your characters will be subject to natural death rolls done each week by the moderators, the chance of natural death being 2/20. Every 5 years the chance of death will go up by 2/20 (Ex. at age 55 4/20, age 60 6/20 etc...) The character can see out the remainder of any thread in which he is RPing, but must die by the end of that game year.

-Heirs and Wills
When your main character dies you must post a will detailing the distribution of your lands, belongings and money within 24 hours of death. Only proper “birth rolled” children and other main characters are eligible to receive anything from a deceased main character. (Note that since you can only have one main character at a time, if you main dies and you have no “birth rolled” heir, all your lands, belongings and money can only be passed to another person’s main character. NOT YOUR NEXT MAIN CHARACTER)

- Main Character Slots
Players are allowed up to eight main character slots. Main characters are defined as characters with traits and income. Only six of these may be used on lordly characters, lordly characters being any character sharing the last name of a Lord. A player is limited to having a maximum of two Lordly Houses.

OOC
No use of OOC information whilst In Character. Any RP suspected of doing so will be deleted by moderators and the offending player contacted. In addition, if you have a problem with a player take it to a moderator, not the OOC thread or the other persons inbox. Any OOC fighting will be deleted and the offenders reprimanded.

Traits

In Westeros different individuals have different natural skills. These skill sets are reflected in natural traits.

Traits
Every character will start with 3 trait points per decade of living starting from age 10. This means from 10-19 you start with 3, from 20-29 you start with 6, and so on. Trait points are no longer automatically gained as you age: instead they are now gained through ingame actions as detailed below.

Every trait has a condition or conditions in which it will increase. Simply meeting these requirements will warrant an increase in that specific trait. You do not need to have that trait to start with to gain it: someone with no points in Battles can still gain +1 if they meet the 'Battle' trait criteria.

Characters may start with a maximum of 12 trait points, even if age 50 or older at the start. Characters may start with a maximum of +3 in any trait.

Moderator discretion as to this appointment: players must prove, via IC an statement made by another character, that they are in charge of another player's spies, and they must effectively be as such (eg they need to actually be the one giving the orders, not 'in charge' but not giving any orders). Gained if the information gained by the Spy directly leads to another player character being arrested, killed or removed from any appointment, at Moderation discretion.

- Counterspy. -1 to Spy rolls against that character. Trait awarded if a spy is captured trying to make a roll on you.

Feudal System

This RPG utilizes a feudal system in order to emulate the ranks and fealty in the books.

Lands
Westeros has been divided into it's many counties, each with specific incomes (see Income Rules) and levies, both in men and ships. The lists below tell how many men and ships each province gets.

Granting of Titles
Anyone who holds a title (ie is known as 'Lord' or 'Lady') may grant those under them titles an/or land. To grant land you must own at least two provinces. You may not promote someone to the same rank as you (ie, if you are a Lord of a House that owns two provinces, you may only make a person Lords Bannerman of your second province).

Fealty
Whenever a Lord promotes someone, the person who gains the land is presumed to have sworn an oath of loyalty to their benefactor. In effect, the Lord who grants the land still owns the land, and may demote you at any time. The new lord owns the troops and ships of the land he has gained, and therefore their loyalty. In the event of demotion, if the Lord is unhappy he may rebel with his troops. For game purposes, troops are always considered loyal to their direct lord (ie, if Lord Greyjoy grants Lord Harlaw the province of Harlaw, the troops and ships associated with Harlaw are loyal to Lord Harlaw), though are also sworn to the higher lord (in this example, Lord Greyjoy). In the event of rebellion, a dice roll is performed to find the percentage of men who stick with their direct Lord, and the percentage who fight for their overlord. This only applies to the bannermen of Great Houses rebelling, not in the case of the Great Houses rebelling against the crown, as troops owe no loyalty to the King, only the Lords from the Great Houses.

Castellan
A Castellan is appointed in the event that a Lord is unable to attend to their castle, or the noble family ruling that castle is removed. A Castellan lays no claim to ownership of the castle, incomes nor levies, and retains the income of his old rank (ie a Knight appointed Castellen of Highgarden would not collect the income of Highgarden, instead collecting his normal Knightly income). A Castellan may only call his banners in order to defend the castle, not to attack.

Men-at-Arms
Some ranks afford a character a certain amount of retainers, free of charge and upkeep. Freedmen have a retinue of five men, Knights a retinue of 25 men. Lords gain 50 men for each rank that they climb in the hierarchy, so a Minor Lord gets 50 men, a High Lord gets 100 men, and a Lord Paramount or the King get 150 free men as retainers.

Mercenaries
Whilst on campaign anyone can hire Mercenaries to supplement their armies. You can hire mercenary companies or recruit professional standing armies from their respective threads, but beware of their hire costs.

Kings Army
The King at all times has a standing army of 5000 goldcloaks. This is separate from the troop numbers listed in the above land maps, and they are free of charge + upkeep.

I am interested in doing this. I have minimal information of the setting but am happy to learn if others are willing to work with me on this.

We would be more than happy to assist. I am still in the process of refining the rules and figuring out the best way to set this up. I wish the guild had player moderated subgroups or something for it would make organizing and streamlining the game much more simple.

Game of Thrones RPG/NRP (Pre Aegon's Conquest)

Hello everyone.

A group of friends and I are planning on playing a asoiaf RPG this summer and we have decided to switch things up. We are going to play this like a Nation Roleplay Grand Strategy game, with heavy character roleplay and a plethora of well balanced game mechanics set to canon standards.

I see there are a few others drumming up interest for somewhat similar games, but we are interested in running this game in a different matter. The scale on which we wish to play this game is larger than our group of players, so we wish to involve you! Do not worry, as we are not cliquey and are all very friendly! But enough about all that jazz. Let's get down to some details.

I am borrowing a ruleset that has been developed and used over the course of several long years, of which I take no credit of creating. But i can assure you Its a solid system.

Each player starts as a minor king, with two lords sworn to them. The game takes place after the Andal Invasion, but before Aegon's conquest. Westeros is fractured. Dragons are unkyetn to this land. Let the steel of men shape it, not the fire of beasts. There are a slew of mechanics pertaining to literally every aspect of the game. But we aren't just rolling dice here guys. This game is going to be very RP heavy. Players will work with appointed moderators to ensure the game mechanics are used fairly and as intended.. After a roll or a ruling has been made, the affected player(s) will Roleplay the situation.

This game is quite expansive, and there are many crunchy rules. That is why I found this forum more suitable than NRP. Speaking of rules, I plan on providing you all with a nice detailed post containing all the information you will need to play; but I have yet to get it properly organized in a streamlined format.

This will be a decently complex system, but nothing too unmanageable. The system can be learned with a bit of effort and clarification. Players are going to be required to keep detailed records of their house's inter workings and most likely the game is going to be broken into multiple threads based on varying locations, events, etc. This hopefully can all be interconnected by a grouping system (I am unaware if RPGuild has a system for this.) Or organized through a detailed OOC/Record thread (via links). I would normally just create a free forum for this sort of thing, but that would deny the game traffic and interest, two things we need for the scale of this game and setting.

Depending on the general interest we receive, we will be proceeding with this game in anywhere from a matter of days, to upwards of a week. Interested players need to have a solid grasp of the rules (which will be posted later today), be decent at roleplaying and writing, and be able to maintain/contribute to a mature and friendly environment. I have seen many people get very bent out of shape over this game, and its not to be accepted. We just want to have fun and enjoy the setting, we expect the same from you. Players must also be moderately active, posting at least every day or two. We understand everyone has a life and sometimes the game can move slowly, but you will fall behind/possibly hang up the game if you go days without posting. In cases like this, if notice/instructions have not been provided to a mod, decisions may be made for your characters by moderators in an effort to continue the game in a timely manner. Besides that, a general knowledge of the setting is highly recommended, but not required if you are willing to learn.


As it stands, that's all for now folks. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will do my best to provide you with a answer. I look forward to playing with you all.
