Slave
Oftentimes, slaves do not earn currency, but
are given enough food to remain alive. If they are
paid, then they earn less than 4 s.p. per day. Slaves
may be purchased in Chapter 9: Equipment. For each
task with which a slave becomes proficient, 10 AP
are acquired. Additionally, for each day that a slave
does not get beaten or flogged, they must have done
something right, and so they acquire 1 AP. Children
are popular slaves, especially abandoned female children.

Chapter 7: Occupation
For more information about the duties of a
slave, see the appropriate occupation.
To determine the occupation of the master,
determine the master’s Social Class (see Chap. 6:
Sociality), and roll on the appropriate table in the
beginning of this chapter. Reroll nonsensical results,
such as a master beggar.
The Aedile must determine the culture of
the master. Slaves in a bugbear society are shaven,
numbered, and cataloged. A number is burned into
their back to identify them, and the number is registered
with the master and community. Every morning,
slaves must submit to their master or apprentice
for full bodily shaving.
Slaves in a human society are usually branded
INTER.DOMINUM.ET.SERVUM.
