Ancillaries and Character Traits

**Myrddraal** · 03-11-2005, 09:19

All the work that we've done on traits and retinue is posted here. Basically Andreas was just elaborating on your idea, we haven't worked anything out for the Seanchan apart from what you posted.

Gaishin (sp?) maybe they could add influence because if you have a lot of gaishin then you have gained much ji.

It is as Myrddraal said, I just got ideas from your ideas, so keep 'em coming. I will update the first post in like three hours.

But that, Myrddraal only counts among aiel... maybe moral then?

And for aiel, we could have a former [insert soceity] traits, gaining different bonuses.

the different societies are a good idea
I'd say influence over morale... I dont see why a town or your troops would be happier if they saw a gaishan. Unless they're glad to see some one following clan and sept law?

and sorry about the mistunderstanding then, I'll get back to you with more ideas

Thats cool ideas, they're reflecting the serie pretty much. But about influence, the influncec is towards other nations, and can't see why they would be impressed, rather then your troops, respecting gained ji, which gai.shains reflect... Maybe plus in public order too, to reflect this honor.

influence because....
well besides the fact that you're following clan law I couldnt say why...
I guess morale would make a better effect here and I cant really think of any other effects to give that

No, I agree it's hard to find something that really fits... Anway, here's some traits and anc, tell me if you find something to be chnaged... And please tell me what I should make of the different military ranks. Also, tell me if I forgot any king.

Good stuff

My opinion is that the five Seanchan ranks you have listed would work best as traits. Since your family members make up the Generals of a TW army, it would seem that it would fit better to say they obtained the rank than to say that they commanded a vassal who did. Also there are either unlimited or a great number of trait slots... ancillary slots are precious.

My god SMZ, not only did you go post crazy in this forum but this post... at first I thought it was Myrddraal going over all the ones we had already. It seems you really put a lot of work into all those, great work.
