each other including apprentices, or their
property. Members accused of violating this prohibition
are banished from the guild, if not the community.
All members are discouraged by a 100 s.p.
fine from helping smiths outside of their guild, as
well as making illegal keys or tools for thieves. Apprentices
must pay 200 s.p. to join the guild as a
journeyman, though sons of members may join for
free. If any member has more charcoal than needed,
then it may only be sold to other members at a fixed
price, and no member may purchase more than necessary
for their work. Violators regarding charcoal
pay 100 s.p. A master may not have more than 2
apprentices or own a slave; otherwise, a fee of 100
s.p. is charged.
Once an apprentice for 7 years, they may
apply to work as a journeyman for the guild.
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.
