Organisations - Standardised Organisation Special Actions 2
MAGIC CYRCLE RANK 2
MAGICAL EVENTS ENQUIRY
An Alliance can ask its liaison to find out details about magical events around the world. Any information relating to what is going on, plus legends and rumours may be given. Due to the nature of magic and the fact that, despite what the Magic Cyrcle wants everyone to believe, it does not know everything, they may provide incorrect information. It is also possible that the Alliance could come to the attention of anyone or anything involved in the magical event, and they may not like the Alliances interest.
REQUEST SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
An Alliance can petition the Magic Cyrcle to build a magical item for them, though not weapons or armour. The item may need to be constructed, or an existing one found, so there is normally a delay. The Magic Cyrcle will only provide the skill to craft the item - the cost and components required must be supplied by the Alliance. Powerful items are almost guaranteed to take a long time and cost a fortune in every way. This is not a cheap Special Action to use, definitely do not ask for this regularly!
TEMPLES RANK 1
Although the Gods are diverse in nature, their influence and tasks are universal, so the next few lines cover all the Gods or beliefs.
DIVINE QUESTION
The Temple Priests can be asked a single question about a Godly topic. The answer may be cryptic or it may be quite straightforward. The more important the question, the more likely the response will be cryptic. It is best to avoid asking questions that are already known to be difficult to answer, such as the location of lost relics.
TEMPLES RANK 2
DIVINE EVENT INQUIRY
An Alliance can ask its liaison to find out details about divine events around the world. Any information relating to what is going on, plus legends and rumours may be given. It is possible that information about any of the Gods, or even philosophies, can be uncovered. It is also possible that the Alliance could come to the attention of the God in question, and they may not like the Alliances interest.
REQUEST SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
Any Alliance can petition the Temple to build a magical item for them, though not normally weapons or armour, except for the War Gods. The item may need to be constructed, or an existing one found, so there is normally a delay. The Temple will only provide the skill to craft the item, the cost and components required must be supplied by the Alliance. Powerful items are almost guaranteed to take a long time and cost a fortune in every way. This is not a cheap Special Action to use, definitely do not ask for this regularly!
PHILOSOPHY
Alliances that choose to tie themselves to a Philosophy instead of an individual God will not initially be able to issue any Special Actions with any Temples of that Philosophy. They are considered to be at -1 Rank with concern to requesting Special Actions. I.e. they can issue a Rank 1 Special Action with the Temples when they are Rank 2 in a Philosophy.
SPECIAL ACTION & STATUS NOTES
It is also worth bearing in mind that when an Alliance first aligns itself, they have no Status, so the use of Special Actions with the Organisation will make the Alliance Status negative. When an Alliance gains a new Rank, it is best not to attempt lots of Special Actions with the Organisation, as it may lose its newly gained Rank. But since the Special Action cost is dependent on the Alliance's Rank, at high ranks it will usually be able to attempt a few low-level Special Actions that will likely be at reduced Status cost. This, however, is not always the case.
