to clarify, you are collectively sharing a 20 pt mansion as a base.

Ok, TY!
Not sure how that works but it sounds nice.

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 434):

base is a perk that gets you a (your) status-2 rent free location to operate from. for many this means a back table in a tavern, or a really crappy office space. buying up levels can increase it closer to a home of your status.

3e had a VtM ported advanage called Mansion which was worth 20 points; the long lost Otherwhre.org's rules for Advanced Goblins and Grottoes for GURPS had a silimar variable cost advantage called Sanctuary which let ou build a rich secre lair like the Batcave for 40 point and an impenetrable pocket dimension for something like 60-80 points.
20 gets you a modest castle or fortalace like the one you have.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 435):

That helps lots. TY!

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 434):

So the Allies with the FoA is reasonable, but we need to put more cp into the mansion then? Say, about 4 points per the floor? 3 cp per floor above ground leaves 8 points for the underground level, which seems unbalanced. Thoughts?

Kirpich, being an Grom (Earth) Cleric, would like to build his temple in the basement. Probably the winecellars...

Hey! No Messing with the wine cellars! we need to get them restocked and working again.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 437):

We've already pumped about 5CP each into the tower; (at least four but not more than six).
Can't put any more in until we actually earn them!

In reply to Aethul (msg # 438):

Move the wine cellars to the crypt! We will not be needing that indoors...it is better to have a graveyard for that!

Ah, I had saved my CP for Allies to man it! Hence the discussion on manning it.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 440):

the crypt was a low sanctity area.  adeeper level might be better for an earth temple.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 441):

That is very true, but we will want to deal with that low sanctity area regardless...how can this be done?

On the other questions, 4 cp for the Initiate disciple and guard OK, with a FOA of 9 or less, ie they spend most of their time at the tower, if not all, and therefore are only involved in adventures the relate to the tower?

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 442):

Here are the Char sheets, if you are happy with them, for the 2x25% and 1x50% henchmen, if you approve, hopefully found at the temple of Grom?

broadminded and intolerant are not compatible; lose intolerance and SoD companions and instead add duty (not sense of duty) 10 to the temple; your acolyte will be bound to the temple unless 6 or less is rolled;
your cultist should have lend energy and a basic esrth spell, like seek earth , not detect magic.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 444):

Cool. Updated...

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 445):

I have noted that Aopife's allies have not been upgraded with her. May I suggest the following?

In reply to Aoife (msg # 446):

no targeted attack for bear; increases for wrestling skill advisable. other skills good

In reply to Narrator (msg # 447):

Ok, cool. Advantages, such as Combat Reflexes and PI(Druidic), plus dual attacks also good?

yes. remember these are a percentage of your pt value

In reply to Narrator (msg # 449):

I do not think they had been updated since character creation...

In reply to Aoife (msg # 450):

Would it be reasonable after the long walking for Christine to take a point in lifting ST?

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 451):

hiking would be more likely

In reply to Narrator (msg # 452):

True. Perhaps both would be justified?

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 453):

I would say that after you do some climbing Lifting St would be a shoo-in

In reply to Narrator (msg # 454):

Ok, some climbing first. And a point into hiking for now...

Juniors group:
5 points each plus another point for Jocelyn for figuring out how to get the silver out.

Ales is in search of a teacher...
