A: Hospitality

All other nobles in the realm, and the surrounding realms while we remain at peace, are bound by ancient law of hospitality to shelter you and your entourage (up to 10 people). This shelter costs you nothing, although if you or your companions behave badly it may reasonably be withdrawn. You are, of course, expected to return the favour if your host ever visits you.

A: Expenses

You must pay 10£ (120s) a month in expenses to maintain your status. This covers things like servants, tithes, taxes, feasts, paying off ancient familial ransoms, etc. If you fail to make this payment for even one month, your status is compromised and you must spend at least 100£ (1,200s) ostentatiously to reclaim your position.

A: Connected

You know all the major lords in your kingdom, and many of the minor. You can recognize heraldry and who it represents, and you likely know something of their personality and powerbase. You will almost never been killed if taken prisoner, and instead be ransomed back for 10,000£.

B: Band of Brothers

If you are holding a banner in one of your hands, all allies that have sworn loyalty to it deal +1 damage on all their hits, and gain +1 armour.

C: You, Good Yeoman

Once per fight you can call out to a follower who has sworn fealty to you and give them an additional turn. This does not use your turn.

C: Sworn Men

You may keep 3 companions in a given psyche slot, instead of just 1. When you hire retainers, you may hire twice as many.

D: Dieu et Mon Droit

When you go to battle for your house, and wearing your heraldry, you may make two attacks each turn and gain +1 armour.


Some features from the original Goblin Guts, and some inspiration from Skerples' feudalism posts. I'm using ItO/Cairn-style armour, fwiw.
