Settlement

?

A settlement’s alignment not only describes the community’s general personality and attitude, but also influences its modifiers.

  • A lawful component to a settlement’s alignment increases its law modifier by 1.
  • A good component increases its society modifier by 1.
  • A chaotic component increases its crime modifier by 1.
  • An evil component increases its corruption modifier by 1.
  • A neutral component increases its lore modifier by 1 (a truly neutral city gains an increase of 2 to its lore modifier).

Alignment never modifies a settlement’s economy modifier.
