 A home is just the place where you live, and can be built just about anywhere.  If it is out in the borders or wilderness, you will have to provide guards and soldiers to patrol the area - or else you will run into trouble from thieves, bandits and monsters.  If you want to build a militarized home  (more than a few low level guards)  you will need to seek permission from the local ruler first - they get twitchy if they think someone is 'moving in' on their territory.
+{{ :pathfinder:campaignsystemii:lodgings.png?100|}}If you do not want to build a home, you can 'rent' rooms in a Lodging house, which can be covered by your Cost of Living expenses. Your landlady arranges the cleaning and sends up light meals, hot water, and the other necessities.  You have two options :-
+  * Basic Rooms (Average)  A simply furnished room, with a curtain separating the sleeping area from the living area.  There is a small double bed, a storage chest, table & chairs, a set of shelves and a  - along with cloak hooks and other minor accoutrements.
+  * Good Rooms (Wealthy) Two nicely furnished rooms:  a Bedroom with double bed, chest, and a cupboard; and a Sitting Room with table and chairs, a comfortable chair, shelves, a cupboard, small fireplace and cloak hooks.
 You can use any building with a Bedroom as your home, including the various craft workshops (although they will not generate a profit)  or you can customize many other building, by adding a bedroom.

 ==== Building a Business ====
@@ Line 38: / Line 44: @@
 These are low-level businesses, staffed by ordinary people and serving the general population, and there are some simple (population based) restrictions on where you can build them.  Nor will they ever create high-level magic items, as the best casters that you can hire are Level-3.  They are restricted to creating (and selling) Masterwork goods, scrolls, potions and few (minor) magical items.  However, other items will be available for purchase (as normal) according to the size of the settlement.

 ==== Building a Town ====

 Building your own town is expensive, more so if you try to build away from civilized areas - and is best approached as a group.
-The cheapest, and easiest way is to find a village or hamlet and start developing it.  It is courteous to talk to the ++Local Lord|(This could be male, female, hereditary, elected, appointed or head of a council)++, or their representatives, first -  just to make sure that they aren't going to stand in your way, and to make sure that they understand you are prepared to pay the right ++fees and taxes|(probably a one-off 'administrative' fee and, perhaps, a requirement to build and staff, a watchtower in lieu of taxes)++.   That is going to be easier if you start with a home, and make sure the Local Lord knows that.  After that, it then becomes 'reasonable' that you would want to build the place up, so that you can live in relative comfort, and in harmony with the local population. To make the settlement grow, you need to add housing, civic and religious buildings and, perhaps, defensive elements.  However, you could start from scratch instead. Find a piece of unclaimed land, that is within a local lord's borders, and start by building a hamlet (and a home, of course).  The process is the same, you just start from a lower base.

 In both examples, you are inside the Local Lord's borders, and you get occasional visits from their guard patrols.  You do not receive income from any of the residents, as their taxes, tithes and fees go directly to the Local Lord.  If you want more freedom, and the ability to collect taxes, you need to see the Borders & Wilderness section.
@@ Line 54: / Line 62: @@
 Both Borders and Wilderness are dangerous places -  and what ever you build here should start with some sort of Military building, to provide defence.  Unless there are defences, or the building is one of the specialist Wilderness development, your developments will be attacked and robbed by all sorts of passing Bandits, Thieves and Monsters.  In the borders, you need to talk to the Local Lord, in the wilderness you can just claim the land.  In the borders, you are relatively close to civilization and building costs are the same as in town, and residents pay taxes to the Local Lord, although you may get a discount on military developments and scouting forces. However, building in the wilderness costs 50% more than the book prices, but you can collect taxes from any residents -  however, tax too heavily and they will leave.
