Rules Questions

[Puckohue]

Can characters at the front can still do pre-turn activities, such as borrowing/repaying money, apply for appointments, make resignation requests etc?

Characters at the front can do several pre-turn activities. Section 32 of the rules has more details.

What happens if you open a market stand shop and later your charisma rises to be beyond the upper range 5? Are you obliged to sell it?

Yes.

Thanks Puckohue, that is helpful.

Is it intended that the Twin Spears (part of the Heavy Brigade) count as a Magic Regiment while the Snakepipe Dancers (part of the Magical Union Brigade) do not?

Not that either of them would allow me to do anything but sweep the stables, but still interested.

No, that's not intended, I'll swap the "magic" tag between them immediately. Thanks for spotting!

Ok, cross the Twin Spears off the list of the next regiment to join....

A few posts up, Grumbold99 was told that exceeding the Max CHA for a shop triggers a compulsory sale. Johannes, being a numbers guy, has estimated that with a small number of regular customers a Trade 6 character running a Small Shop could average about 20L per turn.

However if currently at CHA5, a new owner may only be able to earn that for another two turns before he's forced to sell for a loss of 77L. Which makes this a disincentive for new Merchants to even start! Maybe it's a clever trick by the Guild to prevent new competition, but he doesn't think this is what was intended (and effectively closes down this line of character development).

This rule doesn't make sense to him. He could understand if it was "can't buy a shop if your Max CHA is greater than..." but surely the timing of a sale should be the character's choice?

(Would the GM please consider a small change?)

I'll take a look at it. Busy atm getting the turn done.

If I may: you neglect the potential earnings from people spending their ConCon at the shop I think. Certainly I made a profit on my small shop. Although my incompetence at gaining levels of CHA has helped

On applying for promotion within a cult the rules state that an Initiate may apply for position of Assistant Priest (leapfrogging posts of God-Talker, Assistant Rune Lord and Rune Lord) . Is this correct? It also seems paradoxical that a God Talker will find it easier to be promoted to Assistant Priest (6 on a D6) than to Rune Lord (7 on a D6).
