[PnP] To be a noble or not to be...

[Choinski, Burton]

I believe I tried to add some "filler" stations to the set.  Thus, when you
rolled "station 6" you actually made a second roll to determine 6-8 (I
believe).  This allowed be to break out Counts, Dukes, Earls, etc.  I also
broke the 10 roll into 9 (Royal line) and 10.

I think I also fitted the proper coinage in there by interpolating existing
numbers.

I can work on something more explicit. The base meanings of the station 
levels is given in Book One. Means of increasing station for non-human races

is mentioned in Book Three. Seemed a workable, simple alternative to me when

written. Regardless of the culture, 4 is low noble, 6 is noble and 10 is 
royal. 2+3 are middle class. 0 + 1 are peasant.
