[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 4208520, member: 1125"] This is the Production Formula I use DC= gp value/Labour/Time A Mansion is worth 100000gp (10 - 20 rooms) Using a calculation where Labour is 100 basic labourers and time 50 seasons* (Four seasons per year 50/4 = 12.5 years!*) if we spread the gp value over the 50 seasons we get 2000gp per season (ie each season the gp value is reduced by 2000gp and a new DC can be rolled) DC = 100000/100/50 = DC 20 Time = gp value/Labour/DC This assumes that raw materials etc are being processed from scratch of course gp cost should be reduced if prefab materials are available (by magical or other means) and time can be further reduced by hitting a higher DC (eg having an expert builder come in to lead the project who rolls 30 thus reducing time to 8 years and gp reduced by 3030gp) or by getting more labour so if you wanted to roll each season to roll higher than DC = reduced time and bigger reduction in gp value to roll lower than DC = increased time and less reduction in gp value ([I]explained as cost overruns, reduced work due to bad weather, worker downtime[/I]) * OF course a Grand house only cost 5000gp so with 20 labourers 5000/20/20 = 12.5 seasons = 3 years [/QUOTE]
