I was wondering if anyone who's played or DM'ed more than halfway through the Savage Tide could tell me whether their players have been finding enough opportunities to advance within their affiliations. My players just joined a few at the end of "The Bullywug Gambit" and I'm trying to look ahead and decide if I need to add additional modifiers here and there so that they can potentially advance to the end of each organization (with the right amount of roleplay) by the end of the Savage Tide, thereabouts.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
While I love affiliations, I find the rules as presented in PH2 and Savage tide too sketchy. There have been a LOT of occasions where I have to reward faction points beyond those noted in the scenarios/descriptions.
My players are now lvl 11, and all have affiliation scores around 22. If that's what you're aiming at, be prepared to give them extra points now and then.
