[Andaria Rules and Updates]

Guilds are magical orginizations that exist throughout the realm. These orginizations are hard to get into and grant the member abilities as they level. All guilds require that the member have on them a guild item. A Guild item is a magical artificat that grants a member the guilds powers. The guild only has a certain number of these items and will go through great lengths to recollect them. Some guild items have magical abilites and function like normal magic items, often never knowing they belong to a guild. Most guild items do not have any function outside the guild though.

A person may only be part of one guild at any given time. If they have an active guild item they may not use any other guild item. If they leave a guild they can stay retain the powers so long as they have the item. Guild powers do not work without the guild item.

Leveling in a guild: There are two methods normally required to level in the guild. The first is simply leveling your character, whenever you level as a character your guild level can go up as long as you meet the prerequisit. The prerequisit is different for each level, some levels do not have one. These are normally some form of ritual that is required to empower the artifact and needs to be done before leveling in the guild is possible. If the ritual fails the level is not obtained until a successful ritual check is made. See: [Ritual]

Guilds also have a varing amount of levels. Most guilds go from 1-10, some more or less. When you join a guild, your guild level is 1 no matter what level your character is. Guilds do not require experience and do not count as classes for the purposes of leveling. Guilds have no BAB, SAVES, HP, DODGE, or SKILLS when leveling. They only provide power and rank within the guild, some levels of the guild do not come with either power or rank and are simply required as a steping stone to the next level.
