Magic Points: Inapplicable.

metal minted, a minter acquires 1 AP.
Training: None.
Guild: Minters’ Guild. Each apprentice
must serve 7 years. A masterpiece must be produced
to become a journeyman.
Once an apprentice for 7 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.
Money-Lender
This occupation specializes in lending money
with the understanding that it will be repaid with 5-
6% interest, or that favors must be performed. All
money-lenders are resented, but also respected.
Money-lenders run risks, so interest is high. A borrower
who fails to repay may expect their goods to
be seized and given to the money-lender. If this
compensation is insufficient to repay the debt, then
the borrower will be imprisoned or banished. Imprisonment
is more effective for the money-lender,
since it gives the borrower a chance to acquire money
and repay it. Daily wages vary depending on the
market and the gullibility of the customer.
Ability Requirements: Intelligence 90 and
Common Sense 90.
Gender: Female money-lenders are rare.
Race: Any but ogre.
Disposition: Any.
Temperament: Any.
Sociality: Serf or noble.
Religion: Any.

earned due to interest, a money-lender acquires 1
