New Domain action
In response to most people losing 4.5% of thier investment. Investing in a
new business is risky, it should be harder to succeed than to fail.

Sounds realistic, even optomistic to me. :)

This is all covered under Guilds - they aren't just dens of thieves or
counting houses, they can be lumber camps, cattle ranches, whatever you
decide you want them to be. If you wanted to create a new action for
gaining more money, you may want to make up something like and
INVESTMENT action where various whackos come to the PC with get rich
quick schemes. The action would allow the PC to invest an amount of Gold
in the venture & the success roll would determine the return on his
money.

Mabe I misunderstood? on a 1, he looses the entire business, hence the
chance to make further money? The chances are then more than 4.5% of failure.
