Pillar of the Community

Prerequisite
Neighborhood Figure , have used the Hold Sway feature at least three times in the same settlement

You’ve gone above and beyond for the community and everyone knows that you’re the person to go to for favors, advice, or getting something handled. When you use your Hold Sway feature, you may also attract people of higher rank or those with truly dire problems, increasing your likelihood of learning hidden or secret information when rolling to Gather Information afterwards.

  • Raise your Charisma or Wisdom Attribute by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • Once only, you may purchase or build a stronghold in your Prestige Center that is a workshop, temple, training hall, guildhouse, shop, tavern, or library at 50% of the original cost. Any sub-stronghold you build within it can be added at 75% the usual cost.
  • If you use the Hold Sway feature in a settlement, you can consider that settlement part of your Prestige Center for 1 week (this does not qualify a settlement for the above stronghold discount).
  • When spending gold as part of your Hold Sway feature, you can call in one additional favor per day (see Optional Rule: Calling In Favors in Chapter 7: Adventuring, Adventurer’s Guide) for the duration of the effect.
  • You gain a point of Key Knowledge when you roll to Gather Information as part of using the Hold Sway feature
