See all formats and editions
In d20 fantasy games, characters can gain power with spells, swords, stealth, and supplications. Yet this power rarely extends beyond the character's personal capabilities. Empire introduces rules for founding and building a political realm and carefully tending it from a tiny barony to a sprawling realm. Empire injects an epic level of action into a d20 campaign, allowing the players to take the roles of kings, worldwide religious leaders, archmages, and criminal masterminds while handing DMs the tools needed to challenge such powerful figures.



A complete new d20 system for founding, managing, and running a political entity such as a kingdom, church, or criminal cartel.

Rules for mass combat to simulate the clash of arms as the characters seek to expand their power and crush hordes of orcs and demons that seek to destroy the realms they have worked so hard to build.

New prestige classes designed to interact with the rules for mass combat and kingdoms, allowing characters to take the mantle of great generals, wise kings, and political masterminds.

New feats and spells designed for use by characters and spell casters who lead nations and command armies.

New magic items, skills, and other abilities designed explicitly for use in political adventures.

A complete DM's toolkit including rules for orc armies, demonic invasions, magical cataclysms, and other tremendous dangers that threaten the realms the PCs rule

I really have not had the chance to sit down and read this book, but I have been looking through this book and it does provide some a idea of how a nation building could look. If a player has any of the books put out by Sword and Sorcery Studios that have the community rule sets then this book would be a great way to expand that material, but you can use this book by itself. However, I have a noticed a couple of spots that could be an issue with this book.
First, the book features a new N.P.C. class called the Noble in the book and it seems a little to strong to be an N.P.C. class and some of the d20 books from WotC already have the Aristocrat N.P.C class and the Noble core class. It would not be difficult to adjust this class into a core class. Now this is the first book in this series that I bought and there are a couple more that look like they would be good addition to my campaign setting, but there is an entire chapter spent on warfare, but there is an entire book in this series centered on war. I do not know if that book has a lot of repeat information or if it covers the material in its own expanded way.
