[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 2098543, member: 813"] Unless you want to role-play intense negotiations over the price of bread and meat (at an inn say) or provide multi-dimensional statistics on the customers visiting the brothel :) just have the player make his profession roll once a month. Figure an adjustment factor from the result as DC/5 - 10. Add to this number 2d6. Multiply the result by 20. The business loses or gains that number of gp that month. Example: Player gets a 15 on his profession check. 15/5 - 10 = -7. Player rolls a 7 on 2d6. 7 - 7 = 0. Thus, he has no profit or loss for that month. Ergo, on average a DC of 15 will yield no profit.
