On Thursday, January 14, 1999, Terence Burnard =
posted a set of experience points for domain actions. I offer 100 xp =
for any domain action, and no more. I see no problem with low level =
characters getting a substantial boost from domain actions, but 10,000 =
xp for negotiating vassalage is grossly excessive. I don't want to see =
anyone go from 4th to 5th level because of negotions. If 100 xp (or =
some such amount) is not enough, give them the appopriot non-weapon =
proficency (diplomacy in this case) or another level in it.
Advancing in level should be about adventuring and facing danger (even =
if its overcome by negotiations). Getting more hp's and a better THAC0 =
is not the appropriot responce to domain actions.
I am currently working on my much expanded list of non-weapon =
proficencies. At last count I had 169 (mostly taken from existing AD&D =
sources). I have plans to add many more which focus on the minutia of =
realm administration.

Exactly my thoughts! If you use those tables it will make you wonder why
there are even low level regents in the world?! Not to mention that you
do not learn how to be a better mage or warrior with forging alliences
or getting involved in negotiations.

Hm... What system will you use (I know AD&D, I mean system of learning
skills). Do you allow PCs double the starting proficiencies? Allow more
slots to appear as they gain levels? Just curious.
