Holy City - Settlment Mechanic

Post by Yma23 »

Haya!

So now we have settlment mechanics where food, or water or such doesn't go down whilst you're in a settlment, and may even increase. That's awsome! I thought of an additional option too.

For a certain amount of gold/resources, a settment leader can set their city as a 'Holy City,' to a certain aspect. (Hearth and Home, War and Destruction, Trickery, Ect)
Whilst within the boarders of the settlment, peity does not go down (or maybe even slightly increases) for all pcs who's patron deities have said aspect.

If we want to get fancy, maybe even some astetic change to show this too? I'm not sure what.

So say Cordor is set to Craft and Inventrion - then anyone who's deity has that aspect has their peity remain stable/slowly rising whilst within that settlment. But someone who's deity does not have that aspect (e.g. say, Tempus) does not get any bonuses.

Just thought it'd be another neat little aspect.

I've often been on the look out for new methods for settlement leadership to allow a character to define their city in concrete and diverse ways. Approved.

With the ability to set patron deities for cities, this suggestion was basically completed some time ago.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
