Technically independent income is 1% of syartimg wealth paid monthly.
I look at base col of $600/ month as $20 a day broken into 3x $2 for meals and $10 a night for sleeping with the balance broken into the odd $2 hot bath or clothes washing, $4/hr or $20/day for armor repair, weapon sharpening, arrow restocking etc.

I should be able to drop another CP on one or the other next time we get an award.

You are obviously not buying true munchkin gear then! DF gear is designed to resolve that issue with great ease! Christine has her eye on armour costing $12k unembellished, and she is a mage!

Spidersilk Clothing, Long sleeves and leggins, DR2 v cut/imp. Based on Ordinary Clothing, Status 0
$120 x (1+99) = $12,000, 2 lbs
Can be worn under other armour without penalty

However, if this in embellished up to the value needed for a 35 point powerstone, and the appropriate magics cast, the cost will be $27,000! Excess funds problem solved!!!

Of course not.  By the time we have that kinda money lying about we'll also have solved this pesky 'needs more exp' situation...

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 104):

These have been largely been chumpchange runs you all have been on, gotta work that up to something more lucrative.

Well, there's always the Bone Gate.  I'll need some silver arrows or a bow that makes arrows count as magical, though -- so we'll need one or two good paydays before that.

I'm not sure there's much on the immediate other side of the Bone Gate that requires silver or magic.

We've dealt with 2 out of 5 of the most common things to encounter, Ghula and Ghasts.  That leaves Nightguants, Gugs, and Giant Worms... none of which require silver either.

Ah, excellent.  I'm not sure what any of those things are, but if ordinary arrows can kill them, we'll do okay.

Pretty sure the Gugs and Giant Worms are above our paygrade.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 109):

Above mine too.

Broderick's Expedition (pm)

In reply to Narrator (msg # 111):

Juniors:
 1 pt each to those who did the body run and posted during it : MArio, Jareth, Mellarill

And Brodak? He was supposedly along as well.

Thank you kindly, good sir!

In reply to Brodak (msg # 113):

And one to Brodak.

Danks

Nodwin has put in 1 pt in Base and 1 pt in Indy Income. He was also going to put 1 into servant, but it sounds like that should definitely wait for a while. Let's get Base and Independent Income up to decent levels.

OK, Mellaril and Brodak can each put a point in independent Income

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 118):

I am trying to work it as Investment into cost of living

Okay so unless my count is off we're at 12 points spent into Junior House:

Base [7] [6] (out of 10)
2 Jareth
1 Nodwin
1 Jocelyn
1 Brodak
1 Mellarill
1 Mario

Investment (Ind Inc) [5] [4] (out of 10)
1 Nodwin
1 Jocelyn
1 Brodak
1 Mellarill
1 Mario

Servant (Ally) [0]



So if we eventually each invest 4 points, we can end at 10, 10 and 4.  or we can skip the Servant and end with a 12 point Base and a 12 point Investment?  Not sure how that works...


Which reminds me:  What rules are you using for this 'lair" GM?  The ones in Pyramid 3/86 pg 4?

See below for deets.

OK, Jocelyn didn't put any into either as she used her points for spells ... being a woman and a Mage... first things first ;-)

Fixed!  Dang it, every time I read "Mel and Brodak are spending on XXX" I subconsciously add "and Jocelyn" in there.  It's like you three are a team or something...  ;)

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 120):

I just bought that issue, and I am trying to figure out how to point cost it instead of cash, I am looking as it being a cheap TL4 building, and I am looking at the revenue aspect of it being derived from tenants, or representing decreased cost of living due to ownership. There used to be a 3e way to do this. At the moment, the only "fixture" in your lair is the bone gate access, and the only one I can think of being added, aside from obtaining a meteoric iron holding cell or lockbox, is an area of higher sanctity represented by a small chapel to Nodwin's goddess... which would be finished with a basalt flooring and obsidian altar.

You determine how much it would cost to set-up, then determine what level of Patron has the resources to have supplied it, and that's how many points it costs, as though the building itself were the "Patron" (and if it's just a building, it gets the Limitation:  Fixed Location, -50%).

A 10 point Patron has 1M$ in DF to spend, thus as long as the building is less than 1M$, it's a 10 point Patron (or well, 5 points as it would be just a building).


The whole point of paying for a Base with points is that it doesn't cost PCs anything more after that...  however I can understand that it might.



Sure.  Give me a rough idea of the square footage upstairs (I've got the map of the 'cellar' area), and I can knock out how much it should cost as money or a "Patron".
