Recruit for an Organization

When recruiting for an organization, the player makes a list of the managers and teams that they need for their organization.

After making a list of all teams and managers, add up the cost of recruitment. To determine the time needed to recruit, divide the total cost by 1,000 and round up. This is the number of weeks needed to recruit the listed people.

A character may recruit for a large organization in stages, adding staff to the existing organization after acquiring more gold through adventuring.
Basic Teams can be recruited in any size settlement. Advanced Teams can only be hired in a larger settlement, a town or a city. If you are trying to recruit Cavalry Archers for your village dwelling, you would need to travel to the nearest town or city and put out notices.

Managers

A manager is a competent employee qualified to run a business while you’re gone, even for weeks or months at a time. A manager is authorized to make certain decisions about your property while you’re away, such as paying tax collectors, banning cultists from your store, and handling emergency situations.

It takes a week to recruit a manager.

The cost to recruit a manager is 50 gp.

Hirelings

Characters may also hire help for common jobs. Rather than becoming part of an organization, these hirelings are employees hired for a particular task. A maid, valet, cook, chauffeur, or maybe a scribe, a healer, or a barrister.

It takes a week to hire hirelings, and the character may hire multiple people in a given week.

The cost to recruit is 25 gp for an untrained hireling or one versed in a common craft or profession. For a specialized craftsman or profession, the cost is 50 gp.

Team Upgrades

Recruitment costs assume recruiting from scratch. Some teams can be upgraded to more experienced teams with the cost being the difference between the original team and it’s upgrade (see below).
