[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9157385, member: 58172"] The Bastion should explicitly be able to add floor space to an existing place, such as a pub or a home, or add a special facility to a pirate ship or wherever. In an urban space where the lot space is limited, a player can add a second or third floor upward, or a secret area underground. The Bastion shouldnt force a player to choose between Kitchen, Bedroom, and Washroom. Any (noncondemnable) living space requires all three. Buy the floor space − furnish it freely, including whatever is relevant to the purpose of the real estate. A player might have several Bastions, one a home, one a business, one a hideout, one in an other plane, wherever for whatever. A Wizard School would combine all of these into a single Bastion. Yes. I like the level gating, especially like the tier-gating. But the bastion points cause weird accounting problems. Like never spending them because of the desirability of saving up for a Resurrection, and then never spending the points again because saving up for good magic item. So that the points are almost worthless for anything else. It would be better if the Resurrection simply came on line at the appropriate tier. Then any "special facility" supplies a choice of thematic magic item ("that you and the DM agree on") at the appropriate level. Rather than generating yet-more gp, which needs things to spend on in the first place, focus the benefits on Lifestyle status, relevant professional influence, depending on proficiencies, background, facilities, and Bastion: political, underground contacts, magical research, sacred community, international or interplanar contacts, etcetera − things that inspire players to go on an adventure.
