[D4] Priest Spells and Balance Discussion

[DM Juan]

That way, as well, Wide doesn't need to be full-temple in each province, either, to be worth considering having them around.

[AaH - Avicerra al Hamam]

That would make it a bit more flexible but not as powerfull as before. It will also help with the main adventures beeing in the summer. The priest can then affect multiple regents in A2.

[DM Juan]

So, Rule Province Modifications:

Loyalty Mod likely to be added

4 Versions of Population Growth:
Standard (+Level to attempt, better for the high DC races, or small "Tall" builds)
2 Provinces, @ 1/2 Level - a bit more flexible for medium sized builds
2 Characters, @ 1/2 Level - Different-flexible, for non-state faiths that are maybe scattered around everywhere but not concentrated in any given domain.
1/2 Level Provinces @ +2 -- better for sprawling temples, probably good enough for Goblins/Gnolls to be worthwhile on it's own for action efficiency.

Note that you'd have to pick 1 version.

[RaH - Rassan al Hamam]

what does 2 characters mean? Each char can rule 1 province?

Wouldn't 2 provinces just be better?

[DM Juan]

Yeah, each character can rule 1.
I suppose 2 Provinces would be strictly better. Maybe just do
1 Province
2 Character
1/2 Level Provinces

[AaH - Avicerra al Hamam]

Why not the +2 per province? Its a 10% increase in ruling which is not a lot.

[HaQ - Hakim al-Qadr]

I think that is what he meant. The 1/2 Level Provinces @ +2

[DM Juan]

yes

[WM - The Waste Mage]

What about pop growth effecting more provinces but the spell only adds the temple level in the province to the Rule roll? Like the priest can cast it in 1 province per 2 levels and if there is a level 4 temple the ruling regent gets +4 to his rule attempt... a level 2 temple gives +2 etc.

[CSF - Flint]

"Wide Theme"

Req temple 1
Affects number of provinces = 1/2 caster level
Cost 2gb 2rp per province

Add temple level in favour of rule provinces this season

Balance thoughts:
+One action can increase the rolls on multiple rule actions
-No Free Temple
-Bonus will be smaller on a per province basis

Something like this you mean?
