Here's the most important bit you seem to have missed, Icelander.

Re: Game of Thrones [Req.Social Advantages]
If you own GURPS Swashbucklers, Age of Napoleon, or Middle Ages 1, please take a look at the job tables in those books.
Page 16 of Swashbucklers lists Ruling Nobility as a wealthy job. Page 107 of AoN lists Titled Nobility as a wealthy job. Office holder is listed as a comfortable job. Page 63 of Middle Ages lists 'Lord' as a job (with Politics as the controlling skill- poor old Ned). Some of these jobs are linked with status. |

The wealth level of Eddard Stark at the beginning of the series, when he is not Hand of the King, is the same as after he accepts that position.

Re: Game of Thrones [Req.Social Advantages]
I'm pretty sure it would be easy to run a game set in Westeros (or elsewhere in the same world) with only the Basic Set and maybe Powers.
The tricky part is what we are doing in this thread- working out how to stat all the social stuff. As always, YMMV. |

You could probably combine the other two into simply "Reputation: Honorable but Rigid +1". For Ned, the Lannisters never act against him specifically; they simply act to protect their interests, and he ends up standing in the way. They're opponents, not enemies. When do these people act against him? No. You could make a case for the Greyjoys, since they clearly hold a grudge, but there's no evidence anyone else is out to get him. What does Robert ever do to HELP Ned? He'd be better off if Robert never showed up on his doorstep. Catelyn, yes. Everybody, no (although they may be Allies of Catelyn). They don't do anything to help him. General rule: just because he's on reasonably good terms or bad terms with a house doesn't mean that the house rises to the level of an Ally or an Enemy. Unless someone is actively trying to help or harm you, they're not an ally or any enemy. Robb, at least, is probably an Ally rather than a Dependant. He's competent on his own, and he doesn't really get into trouble (at least while Ned is alive). Jon Snow is probably neither. Status 5 while Ned is still alive; arguably status 7 as King in the North. I'd just say that he has a Talent, and once he show it off he gets a reaction bonus from that. He doesn't have as notable a history of honor as Ned; this should probably be +1, or at least limited to a smaller group. Just because they're allies in war doesn't mean they're Allies. He has a better case than Ned, but I'm still not sure. Again, a better case than Ned, if only because the war has already started. But do you take the main antagonist of the campaign as an enemy?

Littlefinger does have land (just not much) and income. How much he is paid as Master of Coin is never stated. The job may or may not come with a formal salary, but it probably has lucrative perks. The brothels are an independent source of money. I can't imagine that no one pays Varys. He's the spymaster for a large empire. We just don't know what he's paid. It never comes up. |

You just agreed with me, dude. :) I have argued that some titles are linked with jobs, in GURPS terms. Others are just courtesy rank. Some are military , religious, or administrative rank- and also linked to a job. Some are just part of status. |
