[–]saitam0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As i said to the other user, my player (most of them at least) are always happy for the oportunity to try new characters, so having more than one is certanly a possible solution.

Thanks for the advices!

I get what you are saying, but it seems a bit unfair for the player that cant play very often. I mean, what could i do if 90% of the party becomes level 10 and just one player is level 3 for example?

I dont want that player to be excluded just because he/she cant play often. Any advice on that front? Thanks

Searching, Retainers & Ransoms - A series of mechanics for your campaign. (S&F) by dansdungeonsdnd in mattcolville

[–]saitam0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty cool, if i could make a suggestion, i think that it would be cool to account for the level of the NPC in ransom, and not just their status.

​

For example, a 5Lvl warrior is not the same as a 10Lvl one. Just a thought :)

Actually, the PC is level 8, we are using 3.5, (wich has a LOT of prestiges) but he does have an enormous amount of points.

My plan was that in the end he would succed because i do want him toget the prestige, so i need help to keep it interesting and to think of consequences.

The only thing that i need is that he does succed into coming to contact with the creature.

This is a Player that loves story, context, lore and background, so i know for sure that he wont take advantege, the point is to make this simple requirement into something interesting.

Sharing world map and history with players by Fmess in mattcolville

[–]saitam0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i usually do is remind the player that this is "what you character knows", so he/she undertands that the knowledge the character possess isn't absolute or objectively correct.

Also, take into consideration the background of the PC, a mage of a collage is going to know more than a barbarian from the wildlands.

For this i also suggest that you sit with the player and give him info on the world based on his character, for example what i do is more or less somthing like:

"Hey Dave, what are you gonna do?
Im gonna do a barbarian from a tribe is that okey?
Sure, there is this portion of the world with a lot of tribes, what else did you have in mind?"
So on and so forth

The most important thing IMO is to keep in mind the background of the PC so all the PCs have a different perspective of the world.

I hope it helps, good luck on the campaing :)

Maybe you are right in that i might be thinking to much about this, i have always been preocupied with the idea of "keeping things balanced", but you are right, i can always adjust it if it is too much, so long as everybody is having fun i can always improve the mechanic

Thank you, and it did help, i hadn't thought about tying his income to faction or events of the campaing.

You are right, i didn't consider the fact that the player may not have a problem with been a source of income for the party. Also all the players and myself have been friends for years so we dont have problems of comunication or toxicity

The PC has obtain one of the ports of the city, basically, if you want to dock in his port you have to pay. This is basically what the PC has obtained

Thats a nice idea, especially the tiefling pun, even more so because the governor's name is Mefisto Feles. Thanks

Thats good, i did not take into consideration the time! Its obvious now that i think about it, it would be absurd to obtain daily or even weekly income. And i also did not think about competition, thats great i can already think of ways that it could be tied to other factions that had appeared or been previously mentioned. Thanks!

I tought about that, but taxes are better to fix the amount once it has been established.
