Just wondering if anyone out there is making use of the Affilation rules from PHB2 in AoW and how they are working out. I am looking at creating rules for the Bronzewood Lodge - party will have druid PC. I'm also thinking of modifying LoLR so that PCs access to Tilagos Island requires ritual to open a portal from Bronzewood headquarters. I plan to have PC at odds with Bronzewood leader and a power struggle to ensue. Potentially, PC will become leader of the Bronzewood Lodge.
There are many possibilities for Affiliations in AoW - Twilight Monastery, Garrison, Emporium,... Anyone else incorporated these rules to their campaign?
I found them to be a definite improvement over what I was trying to do after one of my players started their own adventuring guild. Now I just use the affiliations system to see how people react to them, or what fate befalls his guildhouse while the group's out questing. It definitely comes in handy with Eberron, what with all the different organizations and dragonmarked houses.
I'm about to incorporate this into my game when the PCs reach Waterdeep. They want to set up a network of agents across Faerun, mainly to help find and craft magical items. If I can pull this off, each character will have a valuable part in the setup of this 'company'. I'll let you know.
