01-23-08, 10:29 AM I have been thinking a bit about the "players are the heroes" part of the setting. And there has been loads of good examples of this. My favorite is the one who compares the players to a TV-series where each level is a episode. So each level grants the players a bit more fame and fortune. Now I prefer to sometimes have a mechanics for this. So I came up with this simple formula:

Knowledge: (Nobility and Royalty) DC 20-ECL

It can be used on NPCs as well, a sugestion is to make a NPC class count as a -0.5 modifier pr level. One could of course make given values to each npc class etc, but that is just work I don't even see a point in doing.

Don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but hey I wont know if I don't post it.

01-24-08, 05:15 PM Yeah I know about them, but I just need something simple that don't give me more bookkeeping to do. So I came up with this rule to see if the commoner from Aundair had heard of the short scary dwarf from the Endworld mountains.

But thanks for the tip it is well appreciated.
