Some Norse pirates of about 1000 years ago in Europe

Hello, my players at Kingmaker want to do "Vicking raids" during the winter's months.
As the Vicking were doing, "all the population able to fight" will go to do the raid.

I use the rules of Ultimate Campaign and i'd like to find a way to simulate the raid.

My idea is:
- 1 raid by district
- minimum 3 months
- all development is locked inside the district during the raid (no building construction)
- a penalty for the district on its bonus??? (like -x economy, -x stability)

The raid could be a temporary building which must be build each month of the raid.
i.e
The Raid
10 BP by month

penalty: x= number of the month of the raid
The first month, penalty =1, the second month penalty = 2, etc...

gain: when the raid is ended
draw a 6-dice.........1: 80%, 2: 90% 3: 100%, 4-5: 120%, 6:140%
result= (number of months x 10 BP) x (6-dice)= gain in BP

so a raid of 3 months may do a gain of
24 BP on a "1"
27 BP on a "2"
30 BP on a "3"
36 BP on a "4" or a "5"
42 BP on a "6"

Not sure at all of my idea...Do you have one???????

EDIT: it's not the good forum, this post should be on "ADVICE"

That's 'Viking'.

'Vicking' either involves illegal dogfighting, or turning over the football a lot.

you mean viking. there is no c

Judging by Marc's phrasing, I assume that there is a typo in Ultimate Campaign where Viking is spelled Vicking.

So basically this is a "let's all laugh at Paizo's editor" thread. Of course, I can't verify because I don't have Ultimate Campaign and couldn't be assed to search for it if I did.

Now all I can picture is big burly men running around, dragging people out of their homes, ripping their shirts off, and rubbing Vapo Rub on their chests, then disappearing into the night.

Vicking

Evicting, away what you have, stealing, taking away, gaffling, ganking, relieving you of, stripping you of.
I'm Vicking you! Of all your knowledge and all of your blessings, of all your strifes through life and all your blessings!

Actually, I was just responding to the original poster's question - I really didn't know what a "Vicking" was. He then deleted his first post for some reason and then reposted it after mine, along with my response quoted. No idea why he did that, other than to make it look like I started the thread.

I now see that he was trying to say Viking. I'm pretty sure the repeated use of Vicking was his mistake, not Paizo's

I wanted to erase my post and post it on "Advice" but Marc Radle was to fast...
And i mean Viking and "Vicking" is effectively a mistake.

I wanted to refere to the north people who scared Europe with theirs raids on boat between 8 and 11 century.

Sorry
