Domain skills and defenses
A domains skill modifier are what you use to do something.
A domains defense score is what others are up against when they want to do something against you.
Skills in themselves do not defeat enemy actions, defense scores do. Development points can improve defense scores.
Defense levels provide various benefits during a warfare battle. Skills can improve Defense Levels.
Defense Levels always reset to 0 after intrigue and any final battle. |

Initiating intrigue
You can set your organization to probe and test another domain outside of intrigue, but using skills directly against another domain can initiate intrigue.
When intrigue begins is always up to the GM to determine.
For instance, using Diplomacy against an ally of a potential enemy domain to find out what kind of army he is preparing may not start intrigue. But spying directly on the potential enemy domain would. |
Time
The GM determines how long a domain turn is. They don't have to be the same over the course of one adventure even. |
a domain turn pr week |
a domain turn pr day |
a domain turn after each combat encounter |
a domain turn pr short rest |
two domain turns everytime XP is awarded |
Intrigue turns
Each domain can act a number of times equal to 4+ the domain size. Each time a domain acts, its called a domain turn.
If one domain has greater size than the other, they get to act more turns.
If the lesser domain initiated intrigue, the greater domain takes their extra turns at the end of intrigue and if the greater domain initiated they take their extra turns at the beginning of the intrigue. |
