Factions


Homebrew and House Rules

RPG Superstar 2008 Top 32

Hello, I've a question to ask here, if it's already been discussed I apologize for bringing it up again.

While I do love Pathfinder RPG I prefer to homebrew my settings. I'm wanting to create some custom factions for my latest setting but I can't seem to find any rules/guidelines/etc.. for building them. I've looked in the Factions Guide but do admit to only glancing through it. Did I miss it or is it somewhere else? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

P.S. Oh if this is in the wrong forum I again apologize.


No you're quite right... the Faction Guide does not include any rules for Factions.

I am using Factions extensively though and I simply used the Faction Guide as a template and based some of my work from the older D&D 3.5 books which did have rules on creating organizations.


As for building them, I don't know of any book, but I use the factions guide as a template to make others.
Also look for the "Path" books by Fantasy Flight Games (PAth of Shadow, path of Faith, Path of Sword, Path of Magic). They list a lot of groups within them as well, many are generic and can fit into almost any setting.

Thanks fellas, I've decided to do as you suggest, use the given factions both in the Faction Guide and in the path books (Thanks for the suggestion Tark) and work out my own groups. I appreciate the responses.
