"Acquiring Followers Characters can recruit congregants by performing charitable deeds, sending out missionaries, casting spells charitably on peasants, and constructing shrines and temples. For every 1,000 gold pieces spent a month doing these activities, 1d10 followers + 1 per 2 points of charisma you possess join you. If a month passess and action is taken to join new followers and you do not spend at least 1 week ministering to your current congregation, then you will lose 1d4p followers. Why would you acquire followers? Followers have a bond score (morale) that increases over time. Each follower provides spiritual energy equal to their bond in gold pieces per month for any magical activity you engage in. This lowers the cost of crafting magic items, casting ritual spells, or creating constructs. It can also lower the cost of any construction projects you take on in the interim, because your loyal followers work and donate their time without recompenses."
Rating the Marvel villains so far on a scale from Excelsior (good), to No-Prize (could be explained that they’re either good or bad), to Bullpen Floor (bad): Iron Monger: Excelsior Abomination: No-Prize Loki: Excelsior Red Skull: Excelsior Whiplash: Bullpen Floor Justin Hammer: Excelsior Loki again: Excelsior Mandarin: Excelsior Dark Elf what’s-his-name: Bullpen floor Hydra Conspiracy: Excelsior Ronan: Bullpen Floor Nebula: Excelsior Ultron: No-Prize Did I miss anyone?
