How much wood could a woodchuck chuck..


Rules Questions


If the woodchuck was a Human Commoner 1?

My group just defeated an evil Baron and have been named the co-administrators of the barony until the King chooses a replacement Baron. This will take two months in-game time and until then, I want the party to deal with rebuilding the barony which has been neglected for some time.

Of course I do not want them to have to use their personal wealth to do so, after all not even five 5th level WBLs could repair bridges, finish roads, recruit and rearm the guard to proper levels, etc etc.

So they need to use the treasury of the barony as well as collect taxes etc and I realized that I needed to figure out how much iron could be pulled out of an iron mine, how much wood could be cut down in a day by how many people. I do not see in anything I have checked so far how to figure that.

I know the Profession skill states that you can make half your check in gold per week, but would that actually represent how much value was actually mined or chopped or farmed or whatever?


I think the Kingmaker Adventure Path has rules for this. I don't know for sure since we just started this and I'm a player, but perhaps someone else could pipe in.

I recall in 3.5 there was a splat book about building keeps and towns.

The second Kingmaker adventure, Rivers Run Red, will answer exactly the kind of questions you're asking. Seriously, pick it up - the kingdom rules were designed for exactly the kind of situation you're in right now.

Edit - note that the kingdom building rules won't give you the exact number of trees cut down or the GP value of iron mined, it'll give you an abstraction. However, you don't really need to know those things; the abstracted rules work great for simulating the large scale without getting bogged down in nitpicky details.

Ahh ok, thank you.

Now does anybody know where I can sell a kidney in the Puget Sound area?

Try Madigan Army Hospital in Tacoma. The last time I was there (it's been about a decade, admittedly) they could do everything under the sun, and I'd imagine that the Army is always looking for spare kidneys.

Now if only I could still get on Fort Lewis... oh well.
