 +These homes are suitable for NPCs in the 3gp to 10gp, per month, Cost of Living range.  Most will be level 1 Commoners, many unskilled some with a skill rank.  At the upper end, there might be a L1 Expert or Warrior.  Almost everyone in the house, from about 7 upwards, will make some economic contribution to the household finances.  Second hand clothes are common, as are family bedrooms, simple food and 'down hearth' cooking.  However, there is enough coin floating around to cover for emergencies and day-to-day items that the residents can't make themselves.
  
  
Line 6: Line 8:
 Based on some of the earliest homes, the Creel Cottage just consists of a standalone Common Room.  It has a small fire pit, and area given over to storage and an area given over to living, and is surprisingly effective.  On a larger scale, it was the Saxon Longhouse type dwelling, the basis of many croft and hall houses, and leaves plenty of scope for development.  We know that Unskilled Commoners sleep on 'Tavern Floors' from their Cost of Living description.  I have extrapolated that to assume they can sleep on any common room floor.  However, for the sake of game balance, I have set the number at 5x people sleeping in a common room. Based on some of the earliest homes, the Creel Cottage just consists of a standalone Common Room.  It has a small fire pit, and area given over to storage and an area given over to living, and is surprisingly effective.  On a larger scale, it was the Saxon Longhouse type dwelling, the basis of many croft and hall houses, and leaves plenty of scope for development.  We know that Unskilled Commoners sleep on 'Tavern Floors' from their Cost of Living description.  I have extrapolated that to assume they can sleep on any common room floor.  However, for the sake of game balance, I have set the number at 5x people sleeping in a common room.

 Based very loosely on the various small workers cottages that I have seen around the UK, modified slightly for the PF Rules.  In this case, a lodging and a garden make two small cottages that can each house 5x commoners.  The slightly better living accommodation means that one  (or more) of them might have a single point in a Craft or Professional skill. Based very loosely on the various small workers cottages that I have seen around the UK, modified slightly for the PF Rules.  In this case, a lodging and a garden make two small cottages that can each house 5x commoners.  The slightly better living accommodation means that one  (or more) of them might have a single point in a Craft or Professional skill.
