Okay, one of my players in the kingmaker I will be running soon, came to me and asked if I felt it would be possible to build a zoo in their city.
Of course I felt this would be fine, but then I thought. "A zoo would definitely need to give some kind of benefit." But my biggest problem is trying to balance out an appropriate price and benefits.

One idea I have with ruling the zoo is that it is a building that is capable of growing bigger over time as they capture more creatures to put inside it. I was thinking, it would cost so much BP at first, then after they put ten or so creatures into it, they can expand the zoo into an adajacent spot for about half the price of the original creation cost. Of course the spots nearby would have to be vacant first and only a max size of 4 spots.

Any thoughts on this?

Backstory info: The player who came to me with this idea is a Summoner, but not any Summoner. Oh no, his character is a biologist by profession. His reason for her coming to the River Kingdoms is to research and study the beings that live in the woods. She will be proficient with nets and making use of injector darts to fill animals with sedatives to restrain them. Of course the Summoner's Create Pit spells, will be used heavily to this goal as well. Thus a huge reason behind the zoo is a place for research as all his universities she will be building will be focusing on biology.


I am sorry if this has been asked before but I am trying to run a game online with my friends and I am wondering what program would work best? Something like Maptool, TTopRPG, but I would like to stress that freeware is absolutely preferred. I am confused by all these different programs and which can do what and what they can't do.
