4E PLANESCAPE FACTIONS UPDATES

thanx a lot Jannic.

After 6 months of campaign/playtest i have totally revisited the concept of loopholes for guvner.The complete concept starts at 5th level feature and it ends at the 30th level feature of the "master of loopholes" epic path.
About probability manipulation it is something like the 2nd edition guvner power. The conversion is not very different. Also it was almost the same mechanic of the shield 2nd level utility spell. How do you manage to work at your table the shield spell? Do the same thing. In my campaign my players use your theory a.
Anyway this is the final work for guvner.
Also the master of loopholes epic path improves it to greater probability manipulation +6 or-6 (very very similar to the factol's manifesto concept)

In the next days I will post all the playtested work with the addition of epic paths, some magic items of all the factions and sects in 5 fragmented chapters:
Factions of ego/decline/experience/order/disorder.

This is the guvner complete theme.
