Finished character for Rogues of Canguine. Decided against Backgrounds or Hubrises.

Does anybody ever have henchmen or servants?

[salamanca]

Not in our campaigns. We have enough bodies at the table. It's one of the few things we draw a line on because I know exactly how far you can break it.

It is entirely possible within the system to build a character with 26 followers, brutes, followers followers, etc. (We call this the Jeremy rule)

[kenderleech]

And some of those followers can have followers. and those followers can have a ship.Eventually, you have 6 PCs and a navy.

Everything Dave and Ken said is absolutely correct.

Now that said, if you wanted folks to take care of your house or to run to the store to get groceries, by all means knock yourself out. Just nobody who's going to accompany you on adventures.

Francois has a whole staff of people... who never have an in game impact. just the army of people who maintain all the stuff he breaks, clean his messes, make his hats and so forth. None of them have stats (unless Sam got bored in the last week and populated my retainers) and none of them have speaking parts in the campaign unless its funny and im running the PA.

Sam just walked in smirking, Ken I am blaming you if he doesn't sleep tonight!

I just saw this. It's too late for me to start tonight. Here's who I think Francois would employ.

Butler
Cook
Coachman
Farrier
Footman
Gardner
Groom
Maid
Milliner
Valet

Cook

Francois with only ONE cook??? Only a savage would have only one cook!

You are absolutely correct. Francois would employ a chef who would hire extra cooks as needed.

Here are your 10 servants of note.

HP/XP
Players may select any 105HP templates then individualize with an additional 30HP
Or players can simply build a character on their own with 130HP

Where are these 105HP templates to be found?

Surprisingly enough, Sam has already written them up for me. I just haven't gotten them written up into PDF form. (nor have I created the RoC portion of the website, so there's that).

(BTW: September 30 was almost two years ago.) It always takes me months/years to create a character.

Really Mike? Your gonna try and steal Sam's moment to shine? I keep "losing" the pdfs so he has to make more (I can nearly hear the squeals of joy all the way in Boston), and you're going to take that away from him?

I thought HoA was about lifting each other up.

For Shame, Mike. For Shame...

Actually, I was about to post that the Fourth weekend was very creative; I now have one proposal @ 130 HP with Hubris and one @ 115 with Virtue.

By the way, why 105 + 30 = 135 or 130 even? What is the purpose of this? I assume that 115 is alright!?

Mark, The internet is forever. They're still in your inbox.

Mike, We're up to 50 templates total. I've cut myself off there. I've posted the names of the templates below. The template names are just how the templates themselves were designed. 30 points are enough to turn them into almost anything else. For example, the Entertainer template can easily be turned into an "Indiana Jones" style archaeologist.
