SPECIAL QUALITIES
-----------------
Cultured: Kintargo is well known for its culture of artistry, particularly among actors, musicians, and patrons of the opera. (Law –1, Society +1; always counts as a prosperous city for the purposes of Perform checks)

Defiant: The citizens of Kintargo have a natural predilection for free thinking that borders on rebellious action. (Law –1, Society +1)

Martial Law: As long as Kintargo remains under martial law, a 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew is in effect. Additionally, as long as the citizens must follow the edicts and proclamations put in place by House Thrune, the city stifles and suffers. (Corruption –4, Crime –2, Economy –4, Law +2, Lore –4, Society –4; Danger +10; halve all values for Marketplace entries)

House Rules:

Fraction BaB and save advancement (see Pathfinder Unchained)
Background Skills, Lore and Artistry
Fighters get Stamina for free, all others can take a feat for it
There are no differences between arcane, divine, or psychic scrolls.
All modern languages are available to PCs of any race.
Prepared spellcasters receive bonus level 0 spells. Prestige classes that advance spellcasting give 2 spells per level for prepared casters.

Crafting: Mundane crafting happens at 10x normal speed, using your craft result as the gp worth of crafting rather than the sp worth. You can raise the DC of a crafting check, for either mundane or magical items, as high as you want in increments of 5 in order to speed up crafting. As an alternative, anyone who wants to skip crafting entirely can swap out any crafting feat they receive from their class for a feat like PFS does it: Alchemists can get Extra bombs instead of brew potion, Wizards can get Spell Focus instead of Scribe Scroll.

For rent and other costs of living: Use the cost of living prices in the CRB, except that you have the option of paying nothing and just staying in the Wasp Nest, which is treated as average living for the purposes of meals and mundane items. You can decide you're at an Inn or an apartment anywhere in the city other than the Castle district or the Greens. There are no Poor accommodations available in the Villagre, Temple Hill, or Jarvis End districts. There are no Wealthy or Extravagant accommodations available in the Old Kintargo, Redroof, or Yolubilis districts. There are no Extravagant accommodations available in the Jarvis End district.

Wands:Any 1st-level arcane or divine spell has a 75% chance of being available in wand form. Psychic-only spells are rarer, so let's say 10% chance if it occurs only on a psychic spellcaster list and not on any others. 50% chance said wand is fully charged, 50% chance it is partially used. If it's partially used, it has 5d10 charges, and is priced appropriately.

Second level spells are harder. The price of a new 2nd level wand is 4500, which exceeds Kintargo's base price, so they aren't available. However, used wands are lower than this price, so there might be one available. In that case, there is a 35% chance of a wand being available, with 4d10 charges on it, and a 10% price premium because of rarity.

Coins:
Platinum Crown
Gold Sail
