Guild: Hatters’ Guild. Each apprentice must
serve 6 years. A masterpiece must be produced to
become a journeyman. Each master may only have
1 apprentice.
Once an apprentice for 6 years, they may
make a skill check as they craft their masterpiece. If
passed at TH 36, then they become a journeyman.
If failed, then they may begin crafting another masterpiece
and make another skill check in 1d10 days.
The Aedile may overrule any masterpiece skill check,
because those in the guild who review the apprentice
may dislike them or choose to keep them as an
apprentice for some corrupt reason.
For a journeyman to become a master, they
must be able financially to open their own shop,
and receive the approval of the guild. To receive
approval, they must pass a Persuasion skill check.
The TH begins at 30 and is decreased by 1 for every
period of 6 months in which the journeyman has
worked locally with the guild. The Aedile may overrule
this skill check or apply any modifier deemed
appropriate.
