I've decided to start a mini series of topics, where I ask some questions/issues that came up in play this same night.

Episode 2

Session Synopsis:
Wrapped up last year by completing first Winter Phase. Defended a small farming village from ~35 bandits. Gravely outnumbered, but won the skirmish with superior forces (all PKs and NPKs were mounted against bandits).
Unfortunately, the bandits managed a whopping 4 crits against the PKs, making them all require Chirurgery and an end to the year.

Issue 1: I used the new Winter Phase economic tables in the GPC to decide what happen to my PKs. Their lands had no mods, so I assumed a Bad Weather 10 and a Stewardship 10 (is this right for your average manor steward?). One PK went from Rich to Poor instantly due to a crit Bad Weather and a success for Stewardship. Did I handle all this right?

Question 2: How do you decide what the players can purchase/buy? I made the assumption that when the PK's clothing diminished in value, the Rich PK could afford to buy new clothes, while the others couldn't. Do I assume that characters with Normal/Ordinary status can only feed themselves and upkeep their manor (hence no new clothes, horses, squires, etc)?

Issue 3: It says excessive spending gains 1 Glory for every 1L spent this way. I assumed that my Rich PK would have spent a few L to more lavishly treat himself and his manor (the new clothes), so I gave him a bonus 5 Glory for the year.

Issue 4: The bonus points from Glory are pretty confusing. Obviously with the first Winter Phase, the knights received 1000+ Glory, so that was an easy 1 bonus point. The way I understand it, PKs only gain bonus points based on how much Glory they earn that current year ("This Game" on the character sheet). But you receive 1 point for having at least 1000 total Glory regardless.

Examples
++ K1 has 1400 glory and gains 500 in the year. He earns 2 points, because the 500 rounds to 1000.
++ K2 has 1400 glory and gains 100 in the year. He earns 1 point. (Or does this make his glory 1500, which will round to 2000, which gives him another point? Augh math!)
++ K3 has 2100 glory and gains 100 in the year. He earns 1 point (because he only gained 100 this game?).

Issue 5: My first skirmish went well... minus all my PKs unexpectedly getting hacked to pieces and I had to end the year prematurely. Here's some questions in order of skirmish events:

++ PKs and company charges, against one bandit each. If they don't kill their enemy, do they continue to attack that enemy or find a new one next round?
++ I go around the table resolving each PK's combat. If a certain PK previously killed their opponent(s), I have them roll a Battle check. Success = one new opponent or other option (withdraw or help a friend). Fail = two new opponents. No one critted the Battle but if they did I would've let them engage the bandit leader (stats of an average knight). I stopped the combat rounds after about 3 or 4 times around the table. Did I handle this right?
++ Rolled Follower's Fate for the unit commander of the PKs, got a success. The bandits fled the field with heavy losses, one NPK was wounded heavily (8% wounded). Sound good?

Well it's wicked late, so that's all I can remember for now. If I think of any other questions I'll post again under this topic.

Thanks for all the help so far with my other posts. Hopefully you guys won't get tired of me asking all these questions ;D

1. Don?t know use Book of Manors

2. If they are of regular income it means they have everything they need, horses are replace, squire and themselves equipped to that lvl. I wouldn?t get to hung on clothing if a player goes out of his way to get nice cloths then yes give them a bonus in certain circumstances. Generally I say if there poor there scruffy, regular normal, rich and the other one they look mint and their wives love them cause all women like pretty dresses!!! ;D

3. Any money spent gives them glory, so if they spend 6 for regular living they get 6 glory. So if live regular 6 and then bought some stuff for 4, I would get 6 libra.

4. The 1000 points is simple every time they break the 1000 they get 1 point e.g.

Year 1 Glory 1500 1 bonus point spent a winter phase
Year 2 Glory 3000 2 bonus points to spend (as i have broken both 2000 and 3000)
Year 3 Glory 3999 0 points as I need to get to 4000 for another point.

5.
A. Unlike battles a combat is a normal fight round for round, so they continue to fight opponents till they kill them, are killed or flee.

B. Again it continues as a normal combat, you don?t make another battle check. Say I ride into skirmish I my leader makes the first one to see if I get any advantage or disadvantage, then I fight normal combats (so I might fight 1 or multiple opponents and can move to engage others as I wish) till the GM decides I look up and see what?s going on, that?s when you make the follower roll.
