Raising an Army

The rules for Mass Combat have very little information on what needs to be done to ACTUALLY recruit an army. For example the only limit to army size is how much consumption you are willing to take on... which is silly and makes no sense. Because of this I have been working on a new system to help our Heroes build and recruit their armies!
Recruiting an army will have the following rules (all of theses are in addition to any found in the Mass Combat section of D20PFSRD.COM). Furthermore we will also be using a number of the "Optional Rules" given in the Mass Combat section aswell (including Reserve Armies, Splitting Armies and a few more):

Recruiting an Army
Any Leader within the Kingdom may raise an army, but generally there will be one main fighting force controlled by the Kingdoms Ruler and General as a team. Being the Leaders of a Kingdom is enough of a reputation to begin building an army in the name of your Kingdom.
The total number of soldiers a Kingdom may have active in it's military is equal to 1/20th it's total population. If a Kingdom has a special benefit, such as being a Warrior Nation, this limit increases to 1/15th its total population.

The level of soldiers that may be trained can be enhanced by multiple means within the campaign, the level of soldiers a Kingdom can recruit always starts at Warrior Lvl 1 ( Being a Warrior Nation allows Latveria to train Soldiers of 1 Level Higher than normal).
*Note that the Level and class of Soldiers you can recruit while be upgraded throughout the Campaign and will need to be kept track of seperately

To recruit an army a Kingdom must first have at least one building capable of training soldiers, the time it takes to train each Army is equal to 1 week/ 100 soldiers in that Army. Those buildings are as follows:
Barracks: Can train Armies of Large or smaller size.
Garrison: Can Train Armies of Huge or smaller size.
*Note that each Army must be assigned a commander while in training, and that no Commander can be assigned to more than one Army at a time. This means you will likely have to have multiple commanders on the Kingdoms payroll.
* Note that to make Larger Armies you will need to combine smaller ones using the Combining Armies Option Rue in the Mass Combat section of D20PFSRD.COM

Once trained you pay an Armies Consumption cost as normal. Note that the Consumption of an Army is measured in WEEKS not Months and must be paid 4 times/Kingdom building turn. To lower consumption cost of an Army you may place that Army in RESERVE using the Reserve Armies Optional Rules in the Mass Combat Section of D20PFSRD.COM.
*Note that in order to place an Army in reserve you will need to have the appropriate houseing, which is detailed in the Reserve Armies section as well.



I hope I covered everything that needed to be covered, please let me know if you have any questions!

Kingdom Payroll

The new "Kingdom Payroll" system was created to help both the DM and players better keep track of key NPCS being utilized behind the scenes in the Kingdom of Latveria. The system thus far functions as follows:

The Basics of Payroll
The Kingdoms Ruler will assign a number of BP earned during the Income Phase to be allocated into the "Kingdom Payroll" (minimum 1 BP).

The Kingdoms Ruler will assign any person that holds a Leadership Role within the Kingdom (including himself) to become "Pay Master" and allocate the Payroll into gold piece values and divide those values among Leaders to help them cover the costs of running their individual organizations. Each Payroll BP is worth 2,000 GP for this purpose.
-EX: The Pay Master sees that the Ruler has assigned 2 BP per month to be allocated into the Kingdoms Payroll. That means that the Kingdoms Payroll Total is 2 BP per month or 4,000 GP. The Pay Master decides that the Leadership positions that Need to be added to Kingdom Payroll are the Grand Diplomat, Marshal, and Spy Master. He divides the GOLD PIECE AMOUNT of his monthly Payroll BP amongst those three organizations as he sees fit (1k to Marshal, 1k to Diplomat, and 2k to the Spymaster in this example), which is them allocated by the controlling party to pay their people.

How to Use Payroll
Our Heroes and their individual Leaders within Latveria will use Payroll in conjunction with the Teams and Managers sections of the DOWNTIME rules (found on d20pfsrd.com under Other Rules Systems >Downtime).

Each different Team and Manager has a cost listed as a one time GP COST (for Teams) or as GP/DAY(for managers) So for PAYROLL purposes with Managers you multiply the cost/day by 30 to get the Monthly rate, with Teams the one time GP COST is taken from your Payroll in the Month you hire them. The listings for Teams and Managers include a general overall purpose and/or function for them, but based on how they are utilized and input from our Heroes these general uses MAY be altered to include additional static bonuses (either for our heroes individual goals or for Latveria as a whole).

Key NPC Teams and Managers will periodically appear within Latveria that can be utilized by our Heroes. These specialized individuals will have better static bonuses than normal but also come at a higher cost to your Payroll. Key Npcs Teams and Managers will be listed in the "Behind the Scenes" Kingdom post and will only last a short time UNLESS utilized within the Payroll system.

In the Future
I am also currently working on how to include the Capital System into game so you can all have your own personal income... as well as the Rooms and Organizations sections of the DOWNTIME rules...
Im doing ALOT of work on this campaign guys so please bare with me as I continue to sort things out and make new options available to you! I hope you  guys like the Payroll System I have developed and utilize it effectively!! More and more to come!
