WOW, thanks everyone for chiming in. I appreciate the input and you all bring up some great and interesting points (love the stonemason assassin angle), however we seem to be getting away from my original question. Is there any ruling to how many buildings a lyre can effect in 1 phase? In the AP it specifically says using a lyre gives you -2 BP to your building. However arguments could be made for either per building or per phase.

As for my table ruling involving Skill checks (Yes I do have a Bard in the group), since the Lyre of Building description states that a Perform(string inst) check is needed to use the lyre for any length of time (otherwise they must wait a week before using it again), I figured using the same check to allow the PC's to have it affect more buildings would be a fairly easy way of keeping them from overusing it, but still allowing them a chance to "build more" by using their (or NPC's/cohort's/etc) skills.

Hello!? Anyone Home? It's cold and there are wolves out here. :D

I'm table ruling -2 BP to up to 2 buildings per month. If a Perform (String Instrument) DC check of 25 is made, you may add another building. For every 5 you beat the DC by, you can use it for an additional building (DC 30 gets you -2BP on 4 buildings, DC 35 for 5). As stated above, the Lyre can only be used in one town a month.

If anyone has any further suggestions or an official ruling, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Just wanted to say Thanks to Berhagen and everyone else who worked on this. While I am no expert on Excel, I must say this is very impressive and has been a HUGE help (especially if we've been drinking too much while we play O_o). Thanks again!!

Cheers!

So, My group totally pimp slapped the Stolenlands and took it's cookie. They have quite a small fortune and decided to buy the Lyre of Building. By amassing their wealth (they gave up quite a bit of personal loot) and using their trade with Oleg, they were barely able to do so. For the game, I have already said it will only work in one city per phase (unless they wish to purchase 1 more per city).

Now does the -2 BP to building costs apply to each building built during building phase (say that fast 5 times) or only to one building per building phase? If they are able to cast the Wall of Stone spell would that add another -2? (total of -4 to each building or single building or even -2 to 2 different buildings)
