So they're all in one place

Can recruits change from archery to infantry, or vice versa, between levels?

Does Doc come away with two horse from the battle?

Oh and how much does a small little house cost?

If you add Ranks in Linguistics, did you want us to list the new Languages here (so that Language filters can be updated)?

I myself am adding Taglian to Languages known.

Not a question but a notification I'm adding comprehend languages to spells known, I generally will not memorize that but at least I have it if we run into something weird

Also I have silent image now, very Black Company, that

Level two is a huge boost for me.
Creative strike- Int instead of Str to dmg
veiled magic- The ability to cast without provoking with a slight of hand check
Renown- There's a place in town that just likes me more than the rest of you

As a question to the GM, what part of town(200 individuals) likes Blackfinger more than most? I'd assume either the Black Company itself or the docks.

@Frost and Blackfinger: Great additions! Good call on that spell, Frost. and I'm excited to see more of those Spheres at work in the game, Finger.

At the moment I don't get anything crazy, but not too shabby; Evasion, Combat Expertise, and one extra maneuver (a boost that gives +2 to a single saving throw).

This smacks of min/maxing the bonuses allowed for each specialty. But the Company would not disallow it. I will say that you can change your role every 3rd level -- so on your next level up you can switch. If you feel you just can't deal with what you have picked, we can back your adds up to what they would have been if you selected the other route at the beginning and then advance from there.

No -- the horses were caught outside the portcullis and you had to abandon them there to avoid getting killed by the onrushing hordes of Blues.

I will generally refer to the Pathfinder price list for cost estimates (you cannot assume that this is the actual cost, but it will give a sense of value based on your income and treasure found, etc.) The link is here:

It does not mention houses per se, but it puts the price of a carriage at 100 GP. Say that's roughly equivalent to a mid-sized nice car in our world -- say $20,000 off the lot. Houses around me range from $100,000 for fixer-uppers to $500,000 for pretty nice -- so a hovel/garret would cost about 500 GP while a small townhouse in a middle-class section of town would cost about 2500 GP

Languages are obviously an issue in this world. Yes, Please list what languages you know. If you are adding a language with a level up, we can assume you learned it from another trooper

I can respect that, and can see your concern.

I'll be clear in saying I do not want to change to infantry from archery: the heavier armor would only weigh Moonface down. Only asking for the needs of the Black Company.

If it eases your nerves any, here was why I was wondering:

• If the Black Company leadership notice that Moonface has punched more people than shot them, would they force him into retraining to make use of what they would deem to be more effective?
  
• If they realize Doc has yet to hurt anyone, would they force him to pick up the bow so that he can "make better use of his time in war, cuz if you ain't healin', yer killin!"?
  
• If we gain and/or lose enough people to where we only have one archer/infantry, will they say that someone needs to be retrained to accommodate for personnel adjustments?

Thanks for the answers though.

You do know Doc started as an Archer.  He sort of has one of everything.
If GM has no problem can I let him be able to use all the main weapons used but no bonus.  This reflecting him learning to use all the weapons but his heart and soul not in it.

Also horses, makes sense.

So would a good sized town house in poor area be about 1,000 gp?

If so can Doc start putting some money down on it please?

Anybody else want in on Doc's hospital project?
I am thinking upstairs would have 4 bedroom so any investors would gain a permanent bedroom looked after by Doc and in good repair any time they needed it.  Oh and free food and healing no donation asked.

Oh and free option in getting roped into Doc next help the population project as well :)

Stitch MIGHT be interested in a hospital. He's a Healer/Surgeon who does his healing through skills, not spells. But at 10 gp per 5 days, it'll take a year or two before we could pay for a building for it. A Healer's Satchel might be the better short-term goal. Stitch is more concerned about keeping the Company healed rather than the populace.

The hospital was always going to be long term plan.  Something to do or have after we done our service in the black guards.  We in the army now!  So we can get posted away from city if the agreement goes south.

However if you get 4 people for 5gp per 5 days a week.

4 x 5gp x 5 = 40gp per week.

So 1,000gp / 40gp would be 25 weeks.

Also if we picking the poor district I sure we could come up with lease ownership deal.  Say 1gp on top per week as rent until we paid it out right.  Doc would be happy to pay that.  I think Doc could pull that off with owners.  It not like people want to buy a house in the poor district if they have option else where.

As for healing.  Doc is total 100% cleric healer.  He has Rat with some magic healing which help big time in past and I know will help in future.

Problem with your plan. There are only two ways to retire from the Black Company. Desertion, or Feet first.

Well as far as Doc understand their is a third.
Honorable discard in to the reserves.  Which is what his mentor has.

But the GM can shoot me down on that idea?

It is highly unlikely the Black Company will stay in Beryl much longer. Things are definitely coming to a head and the Company will move on. In the chaos of what is happening, they will not spend the time to find everyone who hides and does not want to move on with them, so as a character you can plan for a small hospital, but as a player, the action is going to move elsewhere.

For Doc it is a long term plan and the final location does have to be this city.
Any city or town that big enough and needs a hospital will soot him.

Just pulling the money together will be a start.

No problem. I'll just make a note that Doc has a large stash of gold coins on his person. No issues there!

lol is literally everyone some kind of healer

I can give you the Illusion of looking healthy.

And Moonface is an unhealer.

Ha!  Well it's not a bad thing any way.

It's difficult to say whether Stitch is more skilled at hurting or healing.....
