-Every kingdom or business needs to get a start somewhere and that means getting your first BPs from somewhere.  There are a number of different ways to do this, most involve spending money – how much money you need to spend depends on the location of your development.  [[bp_costs|See this page]]

 Whatever you decide to do, talk to your DM about it first and let them build it into the campaign.

 ++ Example| In my recent Kingmaker game, a character with a well-developed Noble family married another character with a well-developed family background. Their reward, for good backstory development ahd RP, was a wedding gift of 2bp, specifically to develop a ‘nice home’ as the bride’s dowry.  In another game, a Characters background let me link her to a Fishery used by a Fagin-like character and his gang of child thieves.  After a bit of RP, she managed to buy the title to the fishery for a couple of hundred GP.++
-**Purchase:**  If you want to get started in an already developed town, you MIGHT find a suitable building for sale.   Don’t expect it to find  everything you are interested all at once. It costs a lot,  [[bp_costs|See this page]], and you will probably have to start off at the outsider price lists.  ++Note |although it is down to your DM to decide when you start to count as a member of the community and get the standard rates)++

 **Loan:** Sometimes, you might not have the money when you want to invest in some advertising or buy an existing property.  In which case you might want to ask a bank for a loan.  Assuming that you are trustworthy and reliable, they will probably lend you some money -  however, this is an expensive way of doing things and you will have to pay it back, with interest,  in cash.  If you are really lucky you will find a fellow player (or significant NPC) who will lend you a BP for a small consideration.
-===== DM Notes: =====
+++++ DM Notes:|
 Key abilities in the kingdom system are Int, Wis, Cha – use the best bonus from those three abilities.  A Character can never attract more that his chosen Ability Bonus of settlers as bp as a starter.  After that all growth comes from within the rules.
   - Be nice.  Be on their side.  When they find a ruined tower put it next to a river – that means they can settle other local hexes more easily.  Maybe even let them find an Outpost, Fort or Keep  instead.  Let them find a disused mine in a nearby area, that can form the basis of a new development etc etc.  Let the head cleric in a local town support the idea of colonisation/resettlement.  Maybe the local lord has an illegitimate child he wants to set up somewhere?  Help, don’t hinder.
   - Remember it is a Role Playing addition and doesn’t really return any adventuring benefits – don’t charge them more than a few hundred gp to get started.   However, do try to tie the early acquisitions in with an adventure rewards.
-  - To see how successful advertising for settlers is – \\d20+(ability bonus)+ (gpSpent / 50)  DC15 = 1bp of settlers DC20 = 2bp.\\(Let them take 10 on the roll, is they want to.  :} )
+  - To see how successful advertising for settlers is: \\ //d20+(ability bonus)+ (GPspent / 50) - - Result: DC15 = 1bp of settlers; DC20 = 2bp// \\ Let them take 10 on the roll, is they want to.  :}
   - Some religions will want to send settlers to build a shrine or chapel, but will want something in return.  Erastil might be supportive, but wants the hex to remain rural.  Followers of Abadar will probably want a town, or at least the promise of a town, to settle in.  Pharasma might send someone to build a Graveyard.  Other deities will have similar requirements based on their faith.  Gorum might be more trouble than he is worth :}
-  - Benefactor:  Stronghold - A noble might want a seat on the stronghold’s council for building a couple of social buildings, but might also want the right to develop an academic or commercial buildings.  Town - A member of the town council wants to see a certain type of development in town, and arranges a free loan.  Perhaps they even offer a starting discount.
