Resurrection City

[Ferrix]

character up tentatively for now

 

[JimAde]

that's one hell of an establishment

Well, 17 puts me in the "Wealthy" category, not "Rich" so maybe it's just one estate

Seriously, I haven't looked at the equipment list yet, but I doubt real estate is on it. I wrote in that bit about "depleted coffers" in my bio so it would be plausible for me to have lands, but not enough cash to buy a small country.

Any ideas, Andrew?

I am a moron

Okay, so I read your original posts, Andrew, and then when making up the character promptly forgot you were changing the wealth rules. Sorry.

I still think I'd like to take Windfall twice. Should I just add 6 to the magic number for my savings and income? If so this will result in my having an income in the 1300-1900 pound range and savings of twice that. Is that OK?

I'd be willing to allot 500 pounds of that to upkeep of the house(s) and staff so I don't have to fool around with the bookkeeping if you want to handle it like that. Just let me know.

That's actually exactly what I was going to suggest.

Then I guess my equipment list will just be "2 of everything"

Seriously, I will make up a list of unusual equipment, but just about anything that's available normally I'll be able to get.

Do I, in fact, have an estate in the country and a townhouse? I believe this was common practice for the peerage at the time. If you'd like, I will gladly say that the family's Scottish holdings are in the care of my cousin Angus, and not available for my use (though I'll take him as a contact). But that still leaves me with two pieces of real estate, staff, horses carriages, farmland, etc. which I don't think either of us wants to detail. I'm willing to gloss over it if you are, allotting a chunk of my income to it.

I am also planning to take a contact high in the government. Not the PM, but a senior minister of some kind. Is that OK?

Still working on the history, but I've amended my character to include personality, possessions, and a 2nd contact.

Best,
Nick

All sounds good.

I see some definite conflicts between Inspector Diggory and Baron Walsingham.

Kajambe, smart hero doesn't gain a defense bonus at first level.

Oops. I'll fix my sheet. Thanks.
