Law Holding Revenue

[Arentak]

So, how do you guys think law holdings should get their revenue?

In 2.0 it was a bizaare table, in 3.0 it was this 1/3rd of holding level business, in RoE (a very well-thought out BR PBEM) its (% of Law held in province X tax rate) taken from each holding.

Taking from a holding adds a lot of math, which is probably why the 3.0/3.5 guys decided to go with 1/3rd holding level.

If you go with "takings", I think it could be an attack, similiar to the discussion in that other thread. A law attack vs the holding. Success = take your "fair share" of their revenue.

Considering a small anuire southern coast campaign, you have hundreds of holdings. That's just not realistic. The dice have to be taken away from collections entirely, so ok.

Sounds like a RoE method works best, if you have a good spreadsheet or database program (I have the latter, Domino code base).

Law Holdings also generate "soft" income for the province ruler in terms of being able to tax more from the province, and from being able to extort/get bribes from guilds/temples in exchange for law holding support, so maybe they don't need intrinsic income.
