Buildings
Overview
You can 'buy' or develop buildings and other capital assets, to help you establish a home, business or settlement. However, this will be a much slower process than under my previous campaign rules. You have to spend gold to buy buildings now, and the only buildings available are those listed in the Pathfinder Downtime Rules. However, once you have a building, you can personalize them with rooms from the [[https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/downtime/rooms-and-teams/|Pathfinder Rooms lists. However, the development needs to be sensible and costed, before it is approved. :)
Don't get carried away with the teams and organizations listed on those pages. I have expanded many of them, and rationalized them somewhat.
Building Materials
The building are all constructed from light materials, such as wood, lathe and plaster, or thatch (Hardness 5, 40hp) - which is fine for most buildings. For some, such as your home, fort or castle, you may with strengthen them, which is done on a room by room basis, using the Fortification Room Augmentation section of the Rooms page - however, this is the equivalent of Masonry Walls (Hardness 8, 80hp). There are options for building higher stone walls, and adding to the defensive elements, but it gets expensive.
For initial military developments, think of western forts and a 'blockhouse', rather than European castles - which took years to build and were incredibly expensive. Many European castles were actually developed over generations, rather than in a few years. However, if you want to upgrade to thicker dressed stone walls, we can work out a price for that - after the building has been fortified.
