Table 12 - Military Experience

Within the Igard Confederacy it is mandatory to enlist in the military for a term of 4 years in order to gain or maintain citizenship. If you do not want your character to be a full-fledged citizen with all of the inherent rights you may skip this table and go straight to Table 13 - Adulthood Events. If you chose to do so change your social status to Civilian. This requirement is only for men as women are expected to have been married off by the time they reach adulthood. However, women are free to join the military as well if they so chose. |

Military enlistment starts at age 16.

Roll 1D20 and add your Social Mod. Once you determine your Military Branch go on to Table 12A.

When rolling on Table 12B you are determining the results of a battle. The first thing to determine is whether or not the characters unit won or lost. To do this; roll 1D20 twice. The first roll is for the Characters Unit, the second is for the Enemy's Unit. The highest roll wins. Next we determine what actually transpired as a result of the battle. Roll 1D20 on Table 12B, be sure to add 2 to the roll if the characters unit won and subtract 2 if they lost.
