Otherwise, his behaviour has simply gone unnoticed that month bad luck. If the player rolls less than or equal to the organisation type, he earns a Privilege Point. The size of die will be the same every month for any given organisation. The larger the die size, the less well-connected the organisation is and the more rigid the membership requirements. This may be a d6, d8, d10, or d12, depending on the degree of political affiliation or definition of an ideal archetype for members. If the character has in some way displayed loyalty to the organisation throughout the month, or has been an iconic representation of the archetypical club member for the month, the character may roll a die. If the DM feels that the character has contributed something noteworthy to achieving the goals of the organisation, he should also reward the member with a Privilege Point. If the character carries out the obligation, he is rewarded with a Privilege Point (I’ll get to them in a minute). What they are is up to the DM, based on the type and description of the organisation. If you roll the Organisation Type or less, you have an obligation. For the record, “Substantial” is usually 25% of what you get, or more.Įvery month, game time, a d6 roll can check for an obligation deriving from membership in the Organisation. It could also include Orders of Paladins and Knights. Type 4 covers the most exclusive bodies, including Church Affiliations, Feudal Nobility, Thieves and Assassins Guilds, Secret Societies, and the like.

It can also cover most types of professional employment! Type 3 covers most Trade Guilds and Professional Societies. Type 2 represents most political parties, more organised and expensive social clubs, and so on. Substantial Ongoing Tithes or Dues, + other obligations, Restricted Membership.Ongoing Tithes or Dues, Restricted Membership.Periodic or one-off membership fee or other obligation.The most obvious characteristic lies in the type and level of obligation of a member to the organisation, so let’s give that a try and see how we go: Organisations need to be characterised in some fashion. Hence this blog post, even though another isn’t due for a few days. I’m pretty good at working up house rules on the fly, so I thought I’d rush in where sensible GMs fear to tread, and see what I could come up with. He had only vague ideas of what he wanted, just that it be a simple game mechanic that addressed interaction between character and organisation. My collaborator on this blog was asking about this very subject earlier today.
Whereas a proper solution would do both these things and offer the opportunity for scenarios and subplots to boot! But there’s no real way of simulating these in game mechanics, leaving the poor DM to cobble something together for each different group each time the situation arises – a solution that yields little-to-no consistency, and leaves the DM with lots of work and little-to-no ongoing control. In any game, there is an entire spectrum of organisations that runs from the Chess Club (show up and play) to the Professional Organisation With An Agenda (Prestige Class or equivalent). Not every assemblage of like-thinking folk is worthy of a Prestige Class – the Garbageman’s Union, for example. The fact is that it was only ever partially true in D&D 3.5, and D&D 4 has a completely different paradigm in place.īe that as it may, it’s also a rather extreme perspective. The DMG II for D&D 3.5 defines Prestige Classes as representing organisations Taking a prestige class is synonymous with joining the organisation that the Prestige Class represents.
