These don't scale at the same rate as the baseline jobs which generally add 2.5 silver per point of bonus in the skill. Particularly, the proposed performer scales quadratically and at a faster growth than standard even at the lowest, moving to extreme levels quickly. Merchant, for instance, has to pay 500 for a store, and even then only makes 25 silver + 2.5 silver per skill bonus. This equalises with the performer's 5 silver per skill bonus at skill bonus of 10 (both get 50 silver), and after that, even if the performer didn't quadratically increase so it gets 110 silver at skill bonus 11 (Merchant still gets 52.5), it would still get more. Because of the quadratic expansion, skill bonus 26 will grant the performer 780 silver while the merchant gets 90 silver).

This scaling is a bit weird.

I have a few ideas as well, but fatigue caught up with me so I'll edit them into this post in the morning.

The pay scale for Profession looks about right if we assume 4 RL weeks ~ 1 In Game week.

Perform is tricky, because the pay scales with the performance (at about the rate she has it here). I'm not sure I'd actually have it scale so much, but 2-3 scales of some kind might fit.

It does in the srd chart, but does that mean we want performers to be unilaterally better (and cheaper) than every other job, while meanwhile Perform has other in-game uses and Profession(Merchant) is worthless except to make money?

Also, the profession scale is whacked compared to the Professions we already have here (it pays less to start and more at the end--the key is that the current jobs assume a take 10, so they add a flat amount for the take 10 in addition to the per bonus amount that Solange's jobs do not, but Solange's jobs scale more quickly)

Actualy, the take 10 is factored in there (25 silvers = take 10, I just didn't factor in the full bonus, which was my mistake.

As for perform, I just tried to recreate the chart mostly. I wasn't sure if it really worked well, so I put it out there. I'm open for fixing it, I just thought it was strangely missing.

If you get 25 silvers for 10, why do you then get 5 more for each additional +1? Since 2.5 * 10 = 25, shouldn't it be 2.5 per?

The original jobs were based on 2 RL weeks ~ 1 IG week. That is to say, you will earn as much in 2 real-life weeks in our game as you would playing by the SRD in 1 in-game week taking 10.

That means Profession pay is low.

No reason, it was a mistake
