    Invitation

    In my campaign, a character wants to send an invatation to the local
    ruler to a formal religious service(cleric of Nes). But he wants to do
    more than just send an invatation. He wants a envoy to take it to him
    personally. Not the cleric himself but a envoy of his alcolytes.
    Do i consider it a Decree action or do i just say ok. what do i do.
    Will it cost him.????

    I'd make it a Decree action if he really wants to go all out. He can spend
    some GB to make it impressive, it's a free action, but it's very public.
    It's kind of like saying "The king requests the honor of your presence on
    Tuesday to discuss matters pertinent to the peace of the realm" while
    having trumpets blown, criers shout, etc. It's something of a compliment to
    the local ruler--the king (baron, guildmaster, peer, whatever) so wants the
    person's attendence that he's willing to spend the money and the effort and
    risk public humiliation if the person declines. Of course, that's one of
    the reasons you do this--the recipient, unless he wants to make an enemy,
    better come up with a better excuse than "I'm washing my hair" if he
    doesn't want to attend.

    Use the Diplomacy action instead. The more luxurious the character's
    court, and the more money and regency he spends on the action, the harder
    it will be for the cleric to say no.

    You could handle this as a decree, But I would handle this as a DIPLOMACY
    action.
    And that would cost him. But even as a Decree or as a LT. action this should
    cost him at least 1 GB, for transportation,food, New clothes & a gift. More
    if more than 1 unit worth of people is in this envoy(ie 200 people).
