I'm stating out the Striders as an affiliation for my Shackled City campaign, and I wanted everyone's input. Please feel to comment and post suggestions. This is what I was thinking:

Striders of Farlanghan

Type: Spy Ring
Scale: 9 (regional)
Goals: Protect those that travel the wilderness and prevent evil from establishing a foothold in the region.

Criterion:
Character level    + 1/2 PC level
Worshiper of Farlanghan    +1
10+ ranks in Gather Information or Knowledge (local)    +2
Member of the Pathwarden prestige class    + 2
Has the Tracking feat    + 1
Completes a mission for the Striders    + 2*
Evil alignment    - 4
Fails to protect travelers in need    - 10

*note: For purposes of the SCAP I'm including many of the adventures that mirror the Strider's goals, even if the character wasn't explicitly hired by them to complete that mission (and as long as the Strider's are aware of what occurred, of course). Off of the top of my head, that involves the events of Life's Bazaare, Flood Season, and later adventures against the main organization behind the events of the SCAP.

Titles, Affiliations & Duties:
Affiliation Score
3 or less    No affiliation.
4-10    Watcher: The Striders recognize you as a potential ally in a fight against evil in the region.
11-20    Farstrider: You are accepted as a member of the Striders of Farlanghan. You take advantage of the Strider's training and network of contacts, receiving a +2 bonus to Knowledge (nature) and Gather Information checks. In return, you are expected to guard the pathways of the wilderness, aiding travelers in need and destroying threats to the area.
21-29    Pathwarden: Your access to the Strider's information network allows you to use your Gather Information skill throughout the region without having to physically travel to the location of your search.
30+    Shadowstalker: Due to your extensive web of sources, you can re-roll a Gather Information check. You can use this ability up to 3 times/day.

Executive Powers: Raid, Research and Shadow War

Yes, I realize that one's there. I wanted to give this it's own post, as that one has fallen off topic.

Someone had pointed out in my ENWorld version of this thread that I should probably go with a bigger penalty for being evil. I bumped it up to -10 in the version I'm using for my game (and i'd change it above, if we could edit our posts!)

Wow. I find it very good. I think I'm gonna steal it ;D

BTW, at some point, maybe at 21-29 range, I'd use the 1500 gp in scrolls and potions per month availibility described in the SCAP. Or you can split it up growing the availibility as PC advances in the Titles table:

11-20: 100 gp
21-29: 500 gp
30+: 1500 gp

Q. (sorry for my bad english)


This is brilliant, just what I need! Mind if I reproduce it(with credit and backlink of course) on the wiki for my game?

The campaign is here:

Good, solid work sir!
