Organizations

Representing everything from a merchant's caravan, mercenary company, wizard's cabal, religion, guild, or even an entire kingdom. They have scale, aspects, stunts, and skills just like characters and can even use the same phased design system.

A organization can interact with another organization no more than 2 levels of scale on either side of them. Players can adjust this by taking over a leadership roll, see Players below.

Unlike characters, an organization may take skills multiple times to reflect different areas of use. For example, an organization could have Influence(Black Dragons of Dakar) and Influence(The Guild). Organizational skills are still purchased the same and subject to the same rules as characters. If an organization does not have access to a skill (Lost Technology) then they cannot substitute another skills (say Resources). Any skill that a organization can have, but does not take, defaults to Abyssal(-3) instead of Mediocre(+0) like a character.

Skills that this organization does that others don't.

An organization can spend skill points on “holdings” such as cities, temples, castles, underground hideouts, or even other planar refuges. Each skill point translates into different quality, no quality may be taken more than once. No holding quality should provide more than a +2 bonus. A complex holding can be created using the Constructs rules.

The table below determines the number and scale of holdings purchased.

Players may assist an organization by taking a leadership role within the organization. While doing so they cannot take part in any other activities. The benefit is that an organization can now interact with a scale three steps instead of the normal two.
