Administration Prof. (read below before voting)

[Sellenus]

I voted yes.

My vote was not because of the arguements FOR or AGAINST. I think both sides have made very valid points. I voted yes for the ease of game play. Domain maintenance is totaled on a small line on my domain record sheet. I like the idea of trying to administrate that number, rather than working with sub-totals and such. Who needs more paperwork? Or maybe I'm just dumb and lazy!:)

I used the skill only for the Govt upkeep side. I figured the cost of the troops is for 3 months of food & pay. which in common with todays grunts just isnt that much........

[Lord Eldred]

Even the cost of food and pay can very and thus can benefit from the skill. I still think the upkeep of military includes more that would benefit from the skill.

[Elijah]

I voted yes. Both sides presented valid arguments and personally I am uncomfortable with allowing the skill to cover military units only because it might make the nwp too powerful. But, logically, the Administration skill should cover army units. There's a lot of administrating to do for armies, as anyone who's been in an army will know! And the ruling is quite clear that it covers all administrative costs, including that of army units.

But it's up for individual DMs to decide. If they think players are going to run riot with this rule, they shouldn't allow it to cover army units.
