* '''Effect:''' Your wealth, school resources and your gladiators are immune to all attacks triggered by enemy school resources (e.g. ''Peregrine Collegia Contracts, Slander Campaign'' or ''Games of Intrigue''). The effect of ''Security'' can be bypassed by any lanista paying a denarii surcharge equal to the cost of your ''Security''. This surcharge may be paid for each attack. During resource purchasing you may buy additional security if you choose, with any bought security adding to the value of previously bought security.

+
External factors reprsent the Lanista spending money to establish contacts and allies outside of the school, so as to give him advantage with it. Imperators and Lanistae who are keen on roleplaying and out-of-arena action might want to ignore the listed effects and instead roleplay out the consequences of each External factor, with varying game effects according to how events play out each month. This approach allows Lanistae to use these factors more flexibly (for example sending his Peregrine thugs on an arson mission instead of an assassination), allow the Imperator to create scenarios on the fly (for example, as the gang of thugs runs into a trio of Gladiators in the Stables and must fight through them), but is balanced by the possibility that the Resource might not achieve anything that month (for example, if the gang are cut down by the Gladiators, they'll never get a chance to burn anything...)
