Rules Text
The Order of the Gauntlet Tournament Field is a marked-off area for combat between two armed individuals. It includes room for spectators.
Your hireling is a Knight whose alignment matches your own. If your Bastion lacks facilities to house this knight, the knight secures accommodations in the inn or settlement closest to the Bastion. This knight isnāt a Bastion Defender, but if your Bastion is attacked, the knight reduces by 1 the number of dice you roll to determine how many Bastion Defenders are lost in the attack.
Empower: Hold Tournament
When you issue the Empower order to this facility, you host a tournament at your Bastion. It takes 7 days for word of the tournament to spread to nearby settlements, and another 7 days for contestants to travel to your Bastion and participate in the tournament. You must spend 2,000 GP for prizes. At the conclusion of the tournament, your Renown Score with the Order of the Gauntlet increases by 1.
Balance Notes
- Compare this facility against other 9-level facilities before allowing homebrew upgrades.
- Keep the listed Bastion order as the primary action loop; additional benefits should usually be narrative, temporary, or gated by downtime.
- If this facility grants creatures, information, resources, crafted items, or empowerment, keep those outputs tied to Bastion turns rather than free adventuring actions.
