Hi all! I'm been enjoying running the downtime rules with my players but we need clarification on some things:
1. Phases and PCs: how do you run it? Does 1 PC goes through all the phases then the next PC goes through all the phases -- or should PCs go through say phase 1 in turn order, then phase 2 in turn order, etc.
2. Broken condition: due to catastrophic rolls, a PC's inn had a major fire event and gains the broken condition. To fix it, the rules say he just pays half the original gp or capital cost to rebuild it. It does not mention Time. So once the PC pays the cost then the inn is good as new instantly?
3. Capital sharing: Buildings costs a lot of capital. Can PCs pool their capital together to build a building? I think this is ok but how do we deal with unfortunate events like loss of capital from events? Rules say you can't go into debt -- so if a PC rolls bad in the event phase (like a major fire) and he doesn't have enough capital to lose, does his partners make up for it (i.e., pays/losses capital in the amount he cannot pay)?

1) I do it one phase at a time, cycling throug all PCs.
2) Yep, but the PC is still limited in the daily capital spend by settlement size.
3) You’re firmly in house rule territory, here, since the rules don’t make allowance for it, but I’d be okay with it, but all PCs count as “the character” for costs, losses, expenses or whatever.
Chemlak is the definitive expert on these rules outside of the original writers. If he thinks a house rule looks good, then it is good.
That... might be the most flattering thing anyone's ever said about me on these boards. Thanks!
