I've become aware that I've informed several of you incorrectly on the matter of advisors.
You don't need to use the character action of an aa for an advisor action, your court includes generic advisors (hence the reason it is a court action).
IF you do use an aa for an advisor action, the aa acts in support of said action and may give a bonus or penalty to the DAC (depending on how knowledgeable the character is on the subject).
-
Very good Jon, very good.
-
I aim to please and confuse :P
-
Oh! - This changes much for me.
-
Oh! - This changes much for me.
It does?
-
Oh! - This changes much for me.
Feel free to resend your DO asap then.
-
Well, the question I asked is still valid, just not as valid as another foray into the manethander plot.
And i have at times felt constrained by what i felt my AA's had areas of knowledge about.
No need to change DO though. Play ball. :)
-
What remains is the one true restriction: only the first advisor action is free - the rest cost 1 GB and there is also part of the reasons we jump in adventures ill prepared (the rest, I guess, is PC stupidity paired with curiosity)
-
The rest doesn't cost you 1GB - they cost you one court action.
Now each court action costs you 1GB - but most of the court actions also has a base cost of 1GB in addition.
Advisor is actually a pretty nice way of spending your court actions without incurring undue expense.
-
Agh... So, my unspent court actions could Also be advisor actions.... *slap self*
OK! - I DO have some changes to my DO then. Will send a new version this evening! :)
If ok?
-
Anyone that just fill their Court actions with meaningless Advisor actions will have VERY bad things happen to them....
-
Sigh, there goes my question about the airspeed velocity of an african and european swallow. I've always wanted to know that.
-
An unladen swallow?
-
Alive or undead?
-
I... don't know? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

IF you do use an aa for an advisor action, the aa acts in support of said action and may give a bonus or penalty to the DAC (depending on how knowledgeable the character is on the subject).
When using an advisor do I have to spend a court action as well? The ply trade advisor only helps the court advisor action?
-
Read top post.
-
That I obviously did but found not the answer (I quoted the top post).
So I dont have to use an AA to take an advisor action. That much I think I get.
But can I do an advisor action with only an AA? Meaning not spending a court action?
-
No.
-
Functionally, the Advisor action represent knowledge immediately available to your domain, which doesn't require significant research into the matter.
If an AA initates the action, they are effectively using an Adventure Action to support the action.
Every realm gets 1 free Advisor action per turn. All other Advisor actions require 1 court action.
-
Indeed (only it's called ply trade: advizor, since it involves no sword and sorcery, but a lot of posing and pretending to be wise and learned).
But the concept is the same; AA using personal effort (character action) to support another domain action.
You CAN of course ask the DMs OOC questions about the world if you thin that is something your regent would know, but Advisors represents detailed IC knowledge of the world not necessarily know to your regent before you take the action.
