Yes it is based on a english medieval base, but after that it looses that back then. The world has a timeline (no matter what d&d setting you look at) vastly larger then our own. The world is stuffed with magic of everykind and monsters. I say this so you don't have your mind trapped in a back then mindset when looking at setting. The pay of your average man depends on how the land you are at is set up. It would also depend what type of boss you want to be. They could be slaves working for nothing, they could be indentured servants working for room and board and maybe a bit of coin to stay clothed and feed. They could be free citizens working for a company, perhaps making a salary wage like a farm hand would or a proportion wage in that you make from what you put out. Then again you might be a free land owner who has a small plot of land that gets money from the harvest (so it would depend on how much you produce, how good is the harvest, if you could find buyers, and if you do some other odd jobs to supplement your coin intake). If you want to be fair with the payment, look in the book for cost of basic supplies, cheap food and living expense, and perhaps a little more for ale or whatever. Like i said, depends on how your workforce is set up.</blockquote>
