As you made the progenitor list you must have been quite proud/satisfied to be able to link together so many pieces of the sage system.<br /><br />Looking at other people's toy "worlds" based on nothing more than a few hours of "wouldn't it be kewl if...", with not a whiff of understanding politics, religion, economics, manufactures, geography or much else...

I had planned to work on them sometime; and this material above sets the stage for it. The fighter gets a load of men-at-arms, and the cleric too. I have morale rules; all that is really needed is to settle a system for how they're gathered, managed and paid.

Have you made any changes to the followers that come to PCs when they reach "name" level?Baron Opalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035904533197305820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-6417246652599512632019-05-17T08:00:37.047-06:002019-05-17T08:00:37.047-06:00If a party wanted it, sure. And the "big bad...If a party wanted it, sure. And the "big bad" at the end of the first adventure would be a 1st level fighter. Or perhaps a 1st level mage.<br /><br />But of course, this only describes the path for a fighter.
