Duty

Character Duties

Overview

A 'Duty' is an umbrella term that covers PC endeavors which garner enough influence to affect the world around the PC or give them substantial enough power to warrant affecting a PC's Seasonal Points, such as Titles or Enterprises.

Titles

To be expanded.

Depending on the setting, a PC may expend Minor or Major merits in order to acquire Titles that confer unto them various benefits.

Enterprise

An Enterprise is a game mechanic for anything resembling a business, job, or the like; it can range from something akin to a small, family owned operation to a large, multifaceted organization. Players can own or participate in business without a merit for purposes of plot. It costs one Minor Merit to start an Enterprise, and only Player Characters may operate one.

Below is a table for modifiers to one's SP formula from an Enterprise:

Modifier	Highest Skill	Second Highest Skill
+1	Apprentice	Journeyman
+2	Journeyman	Expert
+3	Expert	Master
+4	Master	Grandmaster
+5	Grandmaster

For example, let's say Velho owns a business where the highest skill he has is Scourge at master (4) and the second highest is Malediction at expert (2); his Enterprise is therefore worth 6.

He would add the above value onto his SP multiplier as follows:

Base:

5 (Scourge / Master)

6 Enterprise

Multipliers:

100 - Base

0 - Active Prior Seasons

40 - 2x mastered skill

60 - 6x expert skills

Total:

11*200 = 2200 SP

Enterprise Development

Over time, a PC may choose to further develop an Enterprise. A Duty such as an Enterprise may have up to 1000 XP invested into it, and the scale of that Duty may be optionally expanded every 250 XP.

Duty Types:

• Small: 0 XP

A 'small' Enterprise is something like a small, family owned business with only one establishment.

• Local: 250 XP

A 'local' Enterprise would have either one medium to large sized establishment or a handful of small ones.

• Regional: 500 XP

A 'regional' Enterprise can have up to a handful of medium to large establishments or more if each is smaller smattered across a region of the map.

• National: 750 XP

A 'national' Enterprise has enough establishments of any size to span a whole nation.

• World: 1000 XP

A 'world' Enterprise is so grand that it may have establishments open across different jurisdictions.

Further, every 50 XP invested adds 15 to a PC's SP multiplier and every 200 XP awards a Formation Merit.

To track this, please add a line on your Skills Sheet/Table where you will record the amount of XP invested. In order for said XP to be reflected in one's SP multiplier, a PC must first thread out the development of their business in writing and then have it canonized. As an example, let's say Velho has invested 50/1000 XP into his business and had the development canonized.

His SP formula would now look like this:

Base:

5 (Scourge / Master)

6 Enterprise

Multipliers:

100 - Base

0 - Active Prior Seasons

40 - 2x mastered skill

60 - 6x expert skills

15 - Enterprise Multiplier

Total:

11*215 = 2365 SP

Alkahest Mines

Alkahest Mines are Duties which generate Alkahest but do not increase a player's SP generation.

• Exceptions exist for narratively flavoring Alkahest Mines as other ventures.
