The Corrupt Lord

In their gilded halls and lavish palaces, the Corrupt Lords reign from on high, gathering in that most precious of honeys, that sweetest of milks. Of course, they came across all of this wealth legitimately. Who are you to question this? The peasants propitiating them for salt for their food? Pathetic. If they can't afford even that most basic commodity, they need to work harder. Clearly.

These are tables for that specific archetype of Lord faced in classic old heroic adventures, which I have discovered (or possibly dreamed up) from the likes of the Water Margin, and Samurai Shamploo. The corrupt old men (and women I guess, and they don't have to be old) who are just kind of real dickheads, and deserve having their jaw-lines rearranged. You don't need a complex relationship with these guys to want to depose them. Great for levels 3 - 5 I'd say.

Each Corrupt Lord has their Vice, which partially determines their traits. They also have a pair of traits for their Lair, from which they rule. They are guarded by a group of Body Guards, and an Agent, who is in charge of the Lord's General City Watch/City Guard group. They also have d3 + 1 Outlaw Groups under their control.

The Vice of the Corrupt Lord

1 - Lust
2 - Envy
3 - Gluttony
4 - Greed
5 - Pride
6 - Wrath
7 - Sloth
8 - Roll Twice More, Ignoring Further Rolls of 8

Passive - Their guards are all body doubles of themselves, and are nearly impossible to distinguish in battle
Deeds - The Corrupt Lord is exalting themselves to new heights, all at the expense of their people
Terrain - The Corrupt Lord's lair is littered with statues of themselves, the Corrupt Lord can see through their eyes and hear through their ears

Wrath
Combat - The Corrupt Lord can enter into a BERSERK RAGE!!!
Passive - The Corrupt Lord's guard fight as if they were 2HD higher than they are to avoid their Lord's wrath
Deeds - They are aggressively expanding their territory, and cracking down harshly on crime in their lands
Terrain - Their Lair isn't actually as sturdy as it looks, and the Guards and the Lord can burst through the walls without much effort

Sloth

Passive - The Lair is supremely lavish, its disgustingly hard to move around because its all just a bit too overly designed

Deeds - The Corrupt Lord enjoys the fruits of his people's labour, whilst they have literally only enough to keep working to support the Lord
