New type of "character" option

[Troedel]

Now that we have kingdoms as an option, how about cities? Would be nice to have. What do you think?

Greetings,

Troedel

P.S.: Found settlements within kingdoms. As the modifiers influence the kingdom this is to be expected. Still I would like to create "independent" settlements.

Can't you just create a new kingdom character with a single hex defining that city?

Ultimate Campaign gives rules for how the PCs can manage a kingdom. Where would we look for the rules for how PCs would manage a city, separately from the kingdom it was in?

 

[Troedel]

I can, but it adds the whole kingdom overhead.

@Mathias You are absolutly right, I don´t think there are management rules for that. My approach is comming from Realmworks, and adding a portfolio for a town would be nice. So it would come down to just entering data, not really building it up. Closest would be a stock hero imported from a beastiary addon. Hope that makes sense.

You can have multiple kingdoms in the same portfolio, just as you can have multiple heroes. Create a new kingdom and add the hex to that, so it won't affect anything in the base kingdom.

Hero Lab is more about management of characters, and the things they control. Realm Works is the more proper place for world information, like a settlement or a kingdom that is not under the PC's control.

I'd just add the settlement statblock to Realm Works directly, without the need to create a Hero Lab version first - the kingdom rules from Ultimate Campaign introduce a lot of detail that isn't reflected in the type of kingdom statblock that you'd see in a sourcebook.

@mathias You are propably right. Thanks for the clarification.

@aaron I will see if I can find a way for me. Thx for the consideration!
