A character in my group wants a shop and another a brothel.
Now my problem is trying to figure out how successful they will be.
I was thinking of using the business as a modifier to a profession ( or craft ) skill to determine profit. Base the bonus on the cost of the structure.
Weeks the player actively manages the shop they get their skill+shop bonus. Weeks they are away it is just the shop bonus.
Price it as you would a skill enhancing magic item. Though my calculations said the 40k it would take to buy a structure would take 41 years to repay the loss. With 10 ranks in the skill. Ok so maybe that value doesn't work.
A flat +1 per 1k of structure value? Hmm 27 years..... I'd say 10 years is probably what I am aiming for. +1 per 500 gp? 16 years. That might work to me.
What do you think?

Also how many inns or brothels or shops fit in one shop square or brothel square would you say?
For the "brothel" part, I would direct you to this thread. (In addition to much helpful advice, it also has one of the funniest posts I've ever read on these forums.)

Enjoyable post you are correct. Might be hard to find the stronghold builders guidebook.
