Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 10/01/2013 03:53:04 AM
In this game you will be playing as one of the Old Families, the hereditary ruling class of the Confederacy. You are free to choose the Old Family of your choice, known Families include the d’Arbanville, Bennet, Brubaker, Calabas, Duke, Falco, Holt, Kusinis, Terra and Tygore Families.
The game uses three attributes which will define your Family’s specialisation; these are Diplomacy, Intelligence and Military. Most actions are associated with one or more of these attributes, as are their probability for success. Your Family’s victory conditions and starting assets will also depend on your choice of attributes. See the actions and victory points sections of the rules for more information about these attributes.
You have a total of seven points that you may distribute any way you like among the three attributes, with the restriction that attributes are at all times restricted to a minimum of one and a maximum of five. Thus, an exhaustive list of possible distributions is:
