[Arianne-general] Affiliations/Alignments for RP

[Juan J. B. <sa...@re...>]

Hi all,
As I have said I have written a bit about the above topic.

Brian, please modify it to have proper sintax if you add this to the RP.

*** Racial Hatred
There are races that can't live together, as a sheep and a wolf. So if
they want to live together they would need to pass a friendship shot
every 12 hours of game.
I would make it as:
    (Intellect - Strengh) + 1D6

So if the shoot is < 0 then we can do several kind of things:
a) Drop karma
b) Drop Willpower.
c) Both

Another thing is what other groups think about you and your behaviour.
This is part of the AI system.

*** God devotion
In Arianne's world there are gods, you can choose not to believe but
Gods still rule your life.
For being aligned to a God you get a bonus, that is good or bad ( to you
) according to your karma, and is bigger depending on your essense.
All those bonus cost energy to your god, and the amount of energy
deliverable by a God is limited and proportional to the number of
followers and their essense. So a God with less followers can give you
more energy, although it will have less energy that another god.

You can change whenever you want the god you devote to, but there will
be a drop in your essense. The amout of essense that is dropped is
related between the kind of relation between the old God and the new
one. The worse the relation, the bigger the drop. In all cases the more
essense you have the bigger the drop will be.

*** Kingdom alliance
You really don't align to kingdoms, but to kings, so if you have a
treaty with a kingdom you have to review it each time the king changes.
You can only align to a king, and you have to obey him to mantain the
alignement.

Relation between kingdoms is not rule at all. It is in your hands to do
it in the game.

*** Reputation.
The reputation is just a set of great/awful things done by the
characters.
It is to each one to determine if it is a good reputation or a bad
reputation.
This could be a good replacement of charisma.


I would love to listen to corrections, modifications or totally new
ideas.
Feel free to modify.
Regards,
Miguel
