Jobs

The book offers a fair number of jobs across a handful of different locations. For the most part these jobs seem fairly sufficient. For individuals using Volume II of this series I'd encourage coming up with more managerial positions for those with 3 or more points in the Job Student Skill.

I'd encourage DMs not to build skill checks into jobs. Tuition at Strixhaven is pricey and students should be able to hold down a job to attempt to make enough money to meet the 800 gold tuition. That being said, having a student miss a shift due to an adventure or some other scenario can be a good moment for roleplay. If you decide to fire a student from one job due to absences or because of a rivalry with a fellow student they should easily be able to get a job elsewhere. A player may be offered a job as an assistant to certain professors, especially if they've proven themselves in one or more classes. Example ideas using professors and staff from both the published content and Volume I include helping Professor Asana with her clinic, helping Gyome as a sous chef, helping Clem care for her collection of insects, etc. Some students, especially those in their third and fourth years may find opportunities for freelance work. The type of work available typically depends on the student's college with variations being rare but not unheard of.

Ruin Explorers delve into the unexplored parts of Pillardrop, seeking unfound artifacts and treasures they can attempt to sell to collectors on the surface.



Artists paint, draw, sculpt, or create art through a different medium and attempt to find buyers at college art shows or amongst any alumni contacts the student may have.



Theorem Computers work for Quandrix professors and alumni to tackle the easier but more time consuming parts of advanced calculations.



Vainglories use magic to inspire and motivate individuals who often feel directionless. Students trying to find their motivation to do last-minute homework assignments, artists with creative blocks, and even professors seeking a breakthrough might contract the services of a Vainglory.



Spell Component Seekers brave the dangers of Sedgemoor and the Detention Bog in search of rare plants and other ingredients they can potentially sell to Asana, Venoc, or others.
