Each is grouped into groups of four, generally within 1 or 2 levels of each other.
<p>The rivals themselves are not presented at more than one level each, though. If you want to keep one around as a long-term rival group, advancing them to higher level is the GM's task.</p>LoreKeeper wrote:I'm looking forward to this.
