Ply trade

This action is summarized in Domain action descriptions. This page expands upon the basic description and adds various alternative interpretations and options.

Basic

In mixed parties of regents and non-regents, the regents will often be tied up performing domain actions while non-regents have little to do. Non-regents might adventure, conduct research, or ply a trade to earn money.

Expanded

Your ability to find work, negotiate wages, and make a profit is based upon your bonus in Craft (Any), Profession (Any), or Perform. Highly skilled individuals are rare and can earn an increasingly large salary. The listed incomes are appropriate in provinces of level four. Increase profit by 25% for each level of the province above four. Decrease income by 25% for each level less than four. For example, a character with a +10 skill bonus in Profession (Soldier) can make 300gp per month in a province 6; their base salary of 200gp (+10 bonus x 20gp/bonus) plus an additional 50% for the province level [+25% x (province(6)- province(4) ].

Variants

PC's could also spend a month engaged in work for a patron. Instead of negotiating pay and finding work, the PC has a patron who will pay for some specific work. Perhaps the patron wants a high quality sword, or an epic poem composed. If a character spends a month on this kind of work, they are effectively engaging in the Ply Trade action for the specified reward.
