Building Your Home

should players wish to build a structure, they must pay the associated construction fee and invest the proper construction time to build it, as indicated on the Buildable Structures table. If this structure will be on owned land in a kingdom or other governed region, players must typically buy the land to be allowed to build by the government, at a price determined by its size and location. The price of land typically run between 100 gp and 1,000 gp for a small to well-sized plot, but can stretch upwards of 5,000 gp for a large, expansive plot. The DM determines land prices, and not all land is inherently for sale.

The cost of construction includes materials and labor, and players need not be present during construction. If a character is present and contributes to labor each for the entire duration of the construction time, you may reduce the structure's total cost by a percentage equal to half the characters level, rounded up. Multiple characters may work on a structure for its entire construction time in this way to secure this benefit multiple times.

The Skilled and Unskilled Hirelings columns indicate how many hirelings the structure and its expansions require to function (see the Hirelings, Soldiers, & Casters section later on for more). Fore the purposes of this chart, solders and spellcasters qualify as skilled hirelings.

Hirelings must consistently be paid the wages indicated in the Hirelings, Soldiers, & Casters section, and failure to pay hireling wages causes the structure and its expansions to provide no benefit. After 7 days of failure to pay, hirelings will abandon their posts.

Damaged Structures

You may also rebuild a damaged structure you happen upon, should the DM determine you can make a legitimate claim to its ownership (After getting approval from multiple staff). You do not have to pay full price for such a structure and may not necessarily have to purchase the land this structure is on. The construction time and cost of a damaged structure varies directly with the amount of damage the structure has taken. As an example if a structure is only 25% damaged, repairing the structure and rendering it active would require 25% of the normal construction cost and time. Examples of what specific percentages of damage would look like may be found on the following table

Damage Percentage	Appearance
0%	Structure is immaculate and fully functional
1-25%	Some wear and tear, roofs and walls have holes
26-50%	Major components missing, some rooms collapsed
51-75%	Nature reclaimed structure, parts must be dug out
76-100%	Scattered ruins, little more than foundation

Types of Structures

The following is a list of the structures are available to build, and any attributes they may have.

Abbey. A religious retreat for those so inclined. Often dedicated to a particular deity or holy or monastic order. Made plain or ornate, befitting its order, out of local stone or wood.

Cottage or medium house. A small to medium cozy hovel, shop, or home that can house a maximum of 5 people in close quarters. Made of thatch, lumber, brick or similar. After you build this structure, you may later build one room at half of its normal gold cost here.

Dungeon or barrow. An underground dwelling, dank, pungent, and dark. Perhaps composed of mineshafts, carved stone, or ancient sunken ruins. Dimly lit by torches, lava, or phosphorescent fungi. Contains communal living quarters for up to 50 tightly packed humanoids and free jails that cost neither room points nor gold.

Guildhall or lodge. A large and often-storied house dedicated to housing members of a guild, typically all of a single profession or adventurous bent. contains private quarters for up to 25 individuals, and a free dining hall that costs neither room points nor gold.

Keep or small castle. Fit to rule over a fiefdom or barony, this structure is equipped with heavy stone walls, turrets, and spires. There is a private room for the master of the keep, as well as private rooms for up to 50 distinguished guests. This structure may also house up to 450 servants or men-at-arms in less comfortable, occasionally communal living space. This structure comes with a free war room that costs neither room points nor gold.

Noble estate with manor. A fine manor house on a wide tract of land, expertly manicured or tailored how you wish. Contains private rooms for up to 15 individuals, as well as lower quality and well hidden semi-private quarters for a serving staff of up to 35 people. Comes with a free library that costs neither room points nor gold.

Outposts or fort. A forward, roughly military establishment hewn from rock or timber, this structure is a friendly presence in a hostile land. Contains private quarters for up to 25 officers and common bunks for up to 225 soldiers and staff. This structure comes with a free armory that costs neither room points nor gold.

Palace or large castle. An opulent, beautiful, enormous structure, the worthy seat of a kingdom or empire. Contains personal chambers for the structure's owners, private quarters for up to 200 distinguished quests, and somewhat shabby residences for up to 1,800 servants and soldiers.

Comes equipped with private lodging for 5 important persons and bunks or hammocks for up to 45 travelers, traders, or passing merchants. This structure also includes either a caravansary or lodgings that cost neither room points nor gold.

Furnishing Your Rooms

Any time after a structure is built, the owner may choose to furnish already available rooms within the structure. The owner then expends the related gold cost of the room to provide for materials and labor, and, after the construction time indicated elapses, the room is furnished. Note that each room also carries a size cost in room points, and that your structure may never for any reason have more points used up by built rooms than are available for under its listed total room points on the Buildable Structures table.

As with the structures themselves, characters need not be present while the rooms are being furnished, but if they are present and labor for the entire duration of a room's construction time, they may reduce the room's total cost by a percentage equal to half the character's level, rounded up. More than one character may secure this benefit for one room at the same time. Work may be done to furnish multiple rooms at the same time, but laboring characters may only gain a discount on one of them.

Alchemist's Lab

Glass-blown tubes, alembics, piping and jars line the walls in dusty candle-lit shelves. The air is musky with the smell of dried herbs, as to the side a cauldron bubbles rhythmically atop an open flame.

Size Cost: 1 room point

Construction Cost: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: All transmutation spells cast within this room by the owners of this structure and their allies have twice their normal duration, and half their normal materials cost. In addition, alchemist's supplies, a poisoner's kit and an herbalism kit are always considered to be present here, and within this room any checks with these tools are made with advantage by individuals who have proficiency with them

May Also Be Built As: herbalist, witch's hut

Animal Pen

A large pen made to securely hold willing or unwilling beasts. A small nearby larder ensures food will not be in short supply, should the creature find itself hungry.

Size Costs: 1 or 2 room points

Construction Cost: 2,500 or 5,000 gp

Construction Time: 15 or 30 days

Benefit: This room allows creatures to be held securely and safely, whether or not they desire to be, until you choose to release them. The creatures held here may be of any type other than humanoid. This room may hold five creatures sized small, three sized medium or one sized large. If built using two points, this capacity is doubled, and the pens may also instead house one huge creature. This room does not automatically indclude creatures, which must be acquired through other means. You may buy and contruct this room multiple times.

May Also Be Built As: monster cage, griffin roost, dragon trap, kennels, aviary, rookery

Arcanist's Study

Nothing in the multiverse is stranger or more dangerous than the study of a dyed-in-the-wool magic user. Oddities adorn every murky wooden shelf, from a relatively-usual human skull to a planar vortex in a jar or a preening pseudodragon atop a bookcase. The air reeks of spell components, and books of specific lore cover seemingly every surface.

Size Costs: 1 room point

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: Choose abjuration, conjuration, enchantment, or illusion. While present within this room, spells in the chose school cast by the owners of this structure and their allies have twice their normal duration, and half their normal materials cost.

Armory

A stockpile of common weapons and armor, an armory provides defenses, as well as granting common people the ability to strike back and defend their home.

Size Costs: 1 room point

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: When the structure is under attack, any hireling that is not a spellcaster or soldier and that the structure requires for maintenance may visit the armory and afterwards count as a guard (Monster Manual, page 347). Hirelings equipped in this way may also be used offensively rather than simply in defense of the structure. Doing so deprives a structure of its hireling staff, however, and removing more than a quarter of your structure's hirelings from its grounds will cause any other benefits the structure provides to cease, as the hirelings left behind struggle to cover for those absent.

Bank

An enormous room filled with shining marble, brass, and heavily locked vaults, a band does an excellent job of containing coinage and valuables, using money to make money.

Size Costs: 2 room point

Construction Costs: 5,500 gp

Construction Time: 30 days

Benefit: This room contains four 30-foot by 40-foot vaults each with a 20-foot tall ceiling. The owner of this structure and their allies may stash any amount of gold or reasonably-sized treasure in one of the vaults, which requires a key to access (one key comes standard with each vault). Unguarded vaults may be broken into with thieves' tools by making five successful DC 15 Dexterity checks within an hour. The vault doors are a three-foot thick, 5-foot radius circle of steel by default, with an AC of 19 and 24 hit points. When you first build this room, or as a room modification at a later time, you may expend an additional 2,500 gp and 15 days of effort to build mythril doors (AC of 21, 50 Hit points) for the vaults, or you may expend an additional 5,000 gp and 30 days of effort to build the vaults with adamantine doors (AC of 23, 100 hit points).

In addition, if this room is staffed with at lest 10 skilled hirelings trained in either Insight or Investigation, the room generates an income of gold equal to 5% of the total currency stored there, every 14 days.

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: While taking a short rest within this room, the owner of this structure and their allies double the hit points they regain using hit dice (including those granted by Constitution modifiers). Additionally, taking a short rest within this room grants a number of temporary hit points equal to the structures total possible room points. These temporary hit points last until they are lost, or until the next long rest.

May Also Be Built As: festhall, hospital

Size Costs: 1 room point

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: When you first build this room, chooser one merchant from the merchants table in the Traders and Merchants section. This merchant is in permanent residence at your structure, though the quality of their goods changes every 7 days. If the merchants goods are of a quality less than medium, you may reroll any number of times until you receive a result of medium or greater quality.

You may change the merchant in residence here at a later time by paying 1,000 gp to renovate the boutique. This process leaves the boutique unavailable for 15 days, after which a new merchant is selected, as they were when this room was first created.

if your structure is located in an area that can reasonably expect trade, this room generates an income of 30 gp x 3d4 every 7 days. This room may be built multiple times.

Size Costs: 1 room point

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: This room is under the effects of a permanent hallow spell, the details of which are decided upon when the construction of this room is completed.

If parishioners visit this room and provide tithes, this room generates a income of 10gp x 4d6 every 7 days.

May Also Be Built As: shrine, spirit lodge, dark altar

Catacombs

Deep dark and dreary, this sodden collection of stone cellars and hidden pathways holds many forgotten secrets.

Size Costs: 1 room point

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: Dead bodies may be interred here, and suffer no degradation for the purposes of necromancy spells. When this room is first built, it comes with five skeletal servants, each one counting as an unpaid, unskilled hireling for any structure or room requirements. These servants had an AC of 10, 1 hit point, and a Strength of 8, and cannot speak or attack (unless equipped by the Armor and doing so in defense of your structure). The servants do as commanded by the owner of the structure and their allies, and stand motionless in place if commands conflict, waiting until new commands are given. These Skeletal servants can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wind. If a servant leaves the structure it was created in for more than 7 consecutive days, it disintegrates into dust.

Every 7 days on the advent of a full moon (or other celestial event of equal significance), an hour long ritual may be performed by any character or hireling that can cast at least one necromancy spell. When the ritual is complete it raises an additional five skeletal servants (if there are are an adequate number of dead humanoid bodies entombed in this room). A structure may have a maximum number of functioning number of human skeletal servants equal to 20 times the structure's total number of room points

May Also Be Built As: tombs, bonepile

Docks, Air

• Cannon. Takes 15 days *and a knowledge of gun-powder), costs 1,500 gp in materials and labor.
• Mangonel. Takes 30 days, costs 3,000 gp in materials and labor.
• Ram. Takes 15 days, costs 1,000 gp in materials and labor.
• Siege Tower. Takes 60 days, costs 5,000 gp in materials and labor.
• Trebuchet. Takes 50 days, costs 5,000 gp in materials and labor.

Your structure may only physically house a number of siege weapons equal to its total room points at any one time

Stables

The sounds and smells of horses and stranger animals still animate these cold stone stables. Straw matting, water, and feed are available, providing mounts with shelter and relative comfort they need to properly recuperate

Size Costs: 1 room point

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: Your Structure gains the ability to house and support horses or other animals trained to be used as mounts, and can hold four of these creatures for each unit of your structure's maximum room points. Mounts that receive a long rest within this room have their movement speed increased by 10 feet until their next long rest. This stable does not come equipped with mounts, and mounts must be acquired by other means.

Theater

An enormous hall complete with seating, a large stage, and excellent acoustics. This room is well equipped for plays, concerts, and speeches, making them feel that much more true-to-life.

Size Costs: 1 room point

Construction Costs: 2,500 gp

Construction Time: 15 days

Benefit: When on stage, the owner and their allies gain advantage on all Charisma checks. In addition, when an individual on stage makes a Persuasion, Deception, or Performance check with a result above 15, any of their allies present gain a point of inspiration. This latter benefit may only occur once every 7 days.

May Also Be Built As. lecture hall, balcony with adjacent courtyard.

Traders and Merchants

Select rooms will entice merchants to visit or take up residence at your structure, bringing commerce to your doorstep. Whenever a room tells you to roll on the Merchants table, do so with the information below. If a room allows you to select a merchant, you may choose any merchant on this table that isn't a legendary merchant.

d100	Merchants
1-6	Alcohol and refreshment
7-10	Animals (mundane mounts and pets)
11-15	Books and maps (mundane)
15-19	Flowers and seeds
20-25	Food and animal parts
26-29	Furniture and interior decor
30-34	High Fashion
35-38	Jewelery and gems
39-43	Knick-knacks
44-48	Leatherworking
49-52	Mechanical contraptions
53-57	Medium and Heavy armor (and shields)
58-61	Potions, poisons, and herbs
62-66	Religious idols and blessings
67-71	Songs and instruments
72-75	Spell tomes and scrolls
76-80	Thieving supplies
81-86	Tools
87-91	Vehicle and Transportation
92-96	Weapons
96-100	Legendary merchant

Legendary Merchants

If a legendary merchant is rolled on the Merchants table, roll once on the following table to determine which legendary merchant your players encounter:

d12	Merchants
1	Astral Traveler (multiversal wares)
2-3	Enchantments (added to existing items
4	Fey bargains (fey goods exchanged for 'favors')
5-6	Magic Items
7-8	Magical Creatures
9-10	Necromancy
11	Needful things (fiendish wares, tempt buyers)
12	Time-lost (goods from a future time)

Item Quality

Whenever you roll or choose a merchant, roll on the Quality table, below, to determine the quality of their goods. Legendary merchants do not exist below medium quality and their quality should be rerolled until it is medium or higher.

d12	Quality	Currency On-hand
1	Atrocious	1d10 x 20gp
2-4	Poor	1d10 x 50 gp
5-7	Medium	1d10 x 100 gp
8-10	Good	1d10 x 250 gp
11-12	Excellent	1d10 x 500 gp

Based on the results of these tables, the DM will determine the contents of a merchant's inventory. Alternatively, your DM may choose to use the Traders & Merchant's Stronghold Expansion to determine a merchant's inventory

Merchants may be willing to buy items the players are selling, usually those that are of a good make and similar enough to the items they already carry. Merchants often are willing to pay half the ordinary price for wares the players are selling, expecting magic items, which obey their own special rules (found on pages 129-130 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). Currency carried by merchants for such purposes is typically kept in a secure location, such as a trapped lockbox.

The invisible Hand at Work

Some areas are exceptionally good (or poor) locations in which to find merchants. The intersection of two major trade routes can yield merchants of a much higher quality than a forgotten outpost deep in the borderlands. If an Area is exceptionally good for trade, your DM may choose to roll twice on the Quality table, and use the best result. If an area is ill-suited to commerce, however, the DM may likewise decide to roll twice and use the worst result, instead.

Hirelings, Soldiers, & Casters

Any large-scale structure requires constant work, and upkeep to remain operational, and roving heroes aren't usually predisposed to building maintenance. Hirelings are individuals that can perform ordinary or skilled tasks at your behest, expecting payment in return. Soldiers are hirelings skilled in the art of combat, while spellcasting hirelings are those with at least a cursory grasp of magic.

Hirelings of any sort must be paid to retain their service, and hirelings will typically desert their service after 7 days without pay. If hirelings required by a structure are not paid or desert, the structure, and its rooms will cease functioning or providing any benefits.

Hirelings

Service of the following hirelings may be retained by purchasing them at their listed price or paying their listed cost per day

Hirelings	Pay or Worth	Proficient in...
Hireling, unskilled	10 gp / day	----
Hireling, skilled	20 gp / day	1 skill or set of tools
Slave, unskilled	75 gp	----
Slave, skilled	750 gp	1 skill or set of tools

Unskilled hirelings have no special skills to speak of, though they can clean, cook passably, and keep a structure cared for in ways that do not require a particular skill set

Skilled hirelings each come proficient in a particular skill or set of tools, and have a +5 bonus to checks they make with this proficiency. This bonus is considered to include both their relevant ability modifier and their proficiency bonus. You determing which skill or set of tools the hireling is proficient with at the time you first hire them

Slaves may only be owned by evil aligned characters, may be skilled or unskilled, and require no pay. Slaves mar or may not be available for purchase, and are usually sold for the values listed above.

New Spells For Structures

Making More Money

Running a structure is an expensive enterprise, and one that can become unprofitable if not done with money in mind. In addition to the way some rooms inherently generate income, below are a few more ways to help your structure make a profit

Tithes and tuition. If your structure is one that draws daily visitors in the form of worshipers or students, you can demand a fee each day for the services they receive. This could range from 1 sp a day for a poor man's shrine to 10 gp daily for a world-class arcane education. A shrine or temple may receive 50-250 visitors in a day, while even a large college or school should expect a maximum of 100 students. Keep in mind that higher prices may attract less visitors.

Right of passage. Merchants and travelers must pay coin for the right to use toll roads near your structure. A small fine of 1 cp is typical of most toll roads, but some lucrative trade routes charge exorbitant fees of up to 5 gp. Traffic varies on most roads from 2 to 200 traveling groups a day depending on logistics and economic factors. Most merchants will do everything they can to avoid paying a pricey toll, and placing too exorbitant a toll near your structure may cause a reduction in the quality of your merchants, as listed in The Invisible Hand at Work optional rule.

Protection. Nearby villages could pay taxes for protection to a military presence in their region. Taxes could run from a reasonable 2 sp a day to an extreme 10 gp daily. The larger a nearby population center is, the more willing and able it would be to pay a greater tax. Take warning that peasants feeling taxes are very prone to violent revolt.

Other sources. As always, dungeon masters should remain open to player ideas, particularly on how to use a structure. Players will undoubtedly have ideas not covered here, and it is up to the DM to accommodate them however they can.
