Jul 27, 2003 23:06:38 Is there a sourcebook or other material that clearly outlines The Measure? Is it perhaps in the DLCS? I ask because I plan to introduce an NPC KoS that will be adventuring with the group and I'm wanting to have the character occasionally quote from it so that it becomes more of a reality to the players, especially any who may wish to become a KoS.

Jul 28, 2003 0:52:15 The way it was talked about in The Rose and the Skull made it seem a rather huge piece of literature (spanning several volumes), so I doubt anyone is going to go out of their way to actually writing it. And there's at least two versions of it. Pre-Chaos War and post-Chaos War.

Oh and:"The Measure is complicated and exacting, consisting of thirty-seven 300-page volumes."Can't remember where the quote is from, but it doesn't even have to be close to make the measure gigantic.

Where in the world does a knight have the time to write 32 volumes?

Umm..who? I don't think that any one knight wrote it all by himself (although Vinas certainly did the groundwork). After all, the measure is a 2200 year old work of literature.

Jul 28, 2003 11:36:15 Thanks for all of your replies. I feel that the only answer is to have at least the groundwork laid out for player and DM reference. Perhaps one could look at different KoS characters from novels and find what they have in common, some trait one could associate with the Measure in an attempt to form a basic groundwork for referance. Any thoughts?
