STRONGHOLDS – NEW FEATURES
STRONGHOLDS OF OHR:
There comes a time when adventurers will want to setup
a base of operations in the world, a stronghold. Owning
land is one thing, but it's what players do with that
property that counts. Building a home out in the wilds of
the world? Trying to create a frontier village or town? A
silver mine to trade with other local cities and towns? All
of this is possible once you have the coin to begin your
operations and the ability to deal with whatever creatures
or profane tribes have currently claimed the land. Some
buildings generate income, while others offer your
holdings defensive advantages or give your character
specific benefits. Some structures allow you to start to
form your own factions and guilds in the world as well.

they can convert up to 2000 resources.
Law vs. Chaos, a seneschal gains an ability based on how

you deal an additional 4 damage if you are
within melee range of a target and are flanking.

you gain an edge at the start of combat, and deal
an additional 3D6 damage on your first attack.
Experience through conquest, a seneschal gains 25% of
the experience earned from completing Stronghold Quests
as personal experience. At levels 4-6 they gain 50%
experience, and levels 7-9 they gain 75% experience.
