Home management and monthly salary

The "home" condition is used to define where your character lives. We advice that everybody chooses a home location because it adds to the flavour of your character and we give you a free rumour as a reward.

When you are specialized in a specific job you might want to get a higher salary condition. It will give you additional copper when you work on your job but your character will also demand a higher standard of living; increasing the money you lose every month. If you actually go out to do something dangerous some of that extra cash flow will be used by your character to invest in this endeavour. In addition to all the rules named in the higher salary condition a higher standard of living also shortens the time it takes for you to recover from diseases and infections somewhat due to having a more hygienic lifestyle.

The "lower cost of living" condition will lower the copper you lose every month to keep up your standard of living.

The "higher cost of living" condition will give your character a higher standard of living than his salary would suggest. This makes your character very happy, motivated and healthy but it is usually hard to keep up this level of luxury for long.

Craft and repair skills

People with the crafters skill take raw material and time and turn them into usable items.

The Artesian crafter skill is used get extra profit by making the items you create more aesthetically pleasing and marketing them to rich clients.

People with the repairman skill are crafters specialized in making broken items whole again. Some items are so valuable that you don't want to buy a new one every time it breaks. These items should be repaired or reforged instead. This takes time and money and there is a chance it might fail.

Jury rigging is the art of taking a broken item and patching it up in the field in such a manner that it will probably survive the next encounter.

Crafting custom made items

With the custom crafter skill you can sit down with another character to design and craft an item specifically for them during the event.

Example custom modifiers

The following custom modifiers can be added to items for the mentioned price if you have the Custom Crafter skill. These are examples, but feel free to involve a DM in the design process of custom items. You can come up with your own modifiers and a DM will give you an estimate of the price. In downtime you will receive the correct price. Also feel free to come up with modifiers for items that are not on this list.

Crafting equipment and patterns

If you gain a level in the crafter skill you get 500c worth of patterns and crafting equipment from 1 category for free. (copper that is left after this process is banked and can be used to buy patterns from this category in the future.)

Unless otherwise mentioned below every item has a pattern variation. This pattern is as expensive as the item itself and gives one character the ability to craft the item with the crafter skill.

You cannot sell patterns.

Non craftable

Temporary reinforcement

With temporary reinforcement skill you can apply modifications to items that temporarily improve the function of an item. An item can only have one of those temporary improvements at a time and most of these improvements disappear after one use. All of these improvements cost materials to apply which can be bought in downtime.

Example temporary reinforcement materials

You can use one of the example temporary improvements below or you can come up with your own improvements and buy them in downtime. They need to be approved and priced by a DM.

Service Skills

The service skills can be used to make people feel better and to distract them from stressful situations. Getting paid fairly to do such thankless jobs might be the hardest challenge.

Stimulants

Stimulants are used to increase the effects of your indulgence (see your racial condition). Some have nasty side effects or are expensive. But your character probably loves using one or several of these on a regular basis to take the edge of the stressful situations they tend to get themselves into.

Opiate works a bit different from other stimulants. Instead of increasing the effect from your indulgence, the opiate stops pain, making stitching less of a horrible experience.

Primordial touched Yarrow is a plant warped by the influence of an unstable primordial flow. It is most often used to keep soldiers fighting even when they are wounded or have fevers from infections. But because of its rareness and danger of harvesting it is relatively expensive.

Money Lending

You gain loan conditions automatically when you have too little money in downtime to pay for your expenses because you are wounded. You cannot gain loan conditions any other way.

There are always people with ideas but without the funds to act on these ideas. If you have the funds you might be able to make a profit from other people their ideas. You can use investment conditions to represent the fact that you put money into a starting business. When you receive these conditions it is cool to discuss with the GM's what business plan exactly you have invested in.

After a company has been created through an investment, the player will hold 20% of the shares. In effect, the other party will hold 4 shareholder conditions of the same level (80% of the company); which can later be bought by players.)

Shares usually cost around 250 ¢ per level. But this obviously fluctuates a lot.

Trade skills

People with the merchant skill are skilled at getting things cheap so they can sell them... not so cheap. Most merchants are crafters themselves and sell their own wares or at least have a deal with one or more crafter to supply them with items to sell.

The barter skill can be used to exchange things that you find lying about for things you might actually need.

Travel and transport

The cart item can be used to transport more items to and from an event than the core rules allow. However, transporting a cart of goods attracts unwanted attention, so you will need other players or hire NPCs to protect your cart. The chance of losing your cart is reduced by one fifth for a person wearing Medium Armour and a Medium Weapon.

The caravan guard "item" lets you hire NPCs to protect your caravan during its trip.

The caravan safety skill lowers the chance of your charts being attacked. It is probably only worth it if you have several charts.
