Town Building Mechanics

If players choose to they can build their own settlement in the world of Deabros. Building a settlement will come with its own pros and cons. In order to build a settlement, the players will first need to find an appropriate location. Then they will need to convince at people to become residents and start working on the town. Once the players have at least 5 followers, they can begin the construction of their settlement.   Most of the mechanics will be done behind the scenes by the DMs. Players will be told at the start of every new in game week how many followers they currently have, the number of resources they have stored, and any gold the town has earned.   Remember this is an optional mechanic, however there can be major bonuses to having a town that the party can use as a base of operations.

Gathering resources

  The players will gain building resources that can be used to build their town. For every follower that the party has they will gain 1,300 resources per week. Followers cannot gain resources and build at the same time.   Examples
  • The players have 5 followers. Every week they gain 6,500 building resources.
  • The players have 10 followers. 8 of them have been assigned structures to work on. The other 2 followers will gain resources. The players will gain 2,600 resources for the two followers not working on structures.

Building the Town

  Towns require two things, people and buildings. As the players gain followers they will need to have enough buildings to house them. Players can create multiple different types of buildings for their followers to live in. If there are not enough places to house all the current followers than the town's morale will drop, and new people will stop coming to the town. Along with housing, players can also create buildings that will give them advantages, gain them gold, or protect the town. Every building that can be created will fall into one of 5 size categories. Each category has its own list of buildings that can be created based on that size but some buildings can be made to be any size that the players wish for it to be. The categories are:  
  1. Small Structures
  2. Medium Structures
  3. Large Structures
  4. Extra Large Structures
  5. Players Choice Structures
To see lists of all the buildings and the advantages they give the players click on the above links. If the players wish to build something that is not listed they can suggest a building and the DMs will then determine the size category that the building will fit under.

Building Sizes

  The following table breaks out the sizes of the structures, how many materials it will take to build, the time it will take to build, and the number of followers needed.   *Please note that building resources are listed as BR. Also some buildings will require extra time to build.*
