Batman buys the Batcave. Robin's name isn't on the door. I concur with Argent.

Re: small rant...

I feel a need to point this out as Snowtiger had done it but now will not be. Cohorts and followers. Don't think you can use thier GP for your own purposes. They are individual people in the game and have their own needs.

Imagine what you would do if your boss came and asked you to invest a fortune in a risky venture and then still treated you like a subordinate. It would get my boss killed in his sleep.

Spending your own characters money is one thing but you shouldn't expect to do so with a cohort or follower.

Rant off.

your boss comes in and gives u the opportunity of a lifetime to invest in a HUGE fliying wizard's guild, which if it works, u will make a HUGE profit. Sure he says it is risky, but the benefits will be much greater and are therefore worth it.

Not to seem like we're dogpiling, but I noticed Armeer has a Toad familiar. In 3.5, they grant the Toughness feat.

did he think they still gave +2 con?

 

[Zhure]

I noticed that the character had a 14 CON and was a 6th level Wizard with 44 hit points.

6 x (4+2) = 36 + 3 for familiar toughness = 39.

Not sure how the 44 came about.

Hrm.

I'm going to fall kinda in the middle here. Depending on the cohort's personality, they might want to invest, and might think of it as a great opportunity--or they might think you're just crazy, and want to stand idly by while you build your Tower of Babel.

I'd make it a DM's decision (and probably done partially by roll) whether your cohort will chip in.

All the more reason to hold off on attracting said cohort until he can come marvel at the Batcav^H^H^H strronghold...

There are very few items I can drop for cash, but at the very least I can drop my hand of the mage... and I held some cash in reserve. I can put 2000 gp and change into the pot.

I'd say that it would depend on the cohort and the situation. If the cohort could be sure that, for example, he would actually gain something by investing into the stronghold, he might do it.

Using follower's money on stronghold? No.

 

[Snowtiger]

Ok. So how much are people donating to the common good so far??

I'm in for 5K for the building project unless it's going to end up with me being the "patsy" (that's not going to happen). I like goodies as much as the next wiz/sorc but I am trying to help the team effort.

So here are my questions:

Are we going to construct a building now with money the group has contributed?

-or-

Are we heading off to conflict now to make the money to construct our building?

-or-

Are we going to head off to conflict to acquire/liberate "our" building? If so, could I suggest that we don't really want to annoy a group of level 16 casters in our acquisition? Let's pick on some mundane lord/baron/peasant-abuser and take their castle/stronghold/fortress away as punishment for their *evil* deeds.

If we're heading off into battle then I will withdraw my offer in lieu of buying equipment I will need for a conflict and donate from my share of whatever we "acquire".

Thanks!!

I'm in for 5,400GP.

 

[Uriel]

I would prefer to contribute as we go along. I have no problem 'oweing', so that the first 5,000GP I make goes towards the stronghold. There really isn't a reason to hold money back now unless we are starting with said Stronghold. Are we going for a clean one out/take over? I prefer this, as i think that it would be more funto play out. I currently hae 800GP surplus, I could up that if need be, though I think folks should spend their money on gear to help acquire MORE loot.
