The Feudal Levy
Nobleman characters are subject to the feudal levy - le ban et l'arrière-ban - by royal edict. With the rise of the standing army and military contractors, French kings are less likely to summon the levy except under circumstances of pressing need.
If the army loses the first encounter of a campaign on the Belgian or Spanish front, the king will summon the levy on a roll of 10+ on 2D6. If the levy is summoned, all Nobleman from a province on the front not already serving in the Military or Bureaucracy must outfit themselves as Fusiliers and join a company under command of an experienced captain. They will then continue to serve as part of the campaign normally.
The Militia
Gentlemen and Noblemen characters may join a city militia; please see the blog post "Fortress France: An Alternative Military Career for Flashing Blades" for details.
