Like 30,000gp for standard monthly payment fees and remaining 20,000gp is 'banked' for any massive purchases (like a keep, fortress, outpost or purchase siege engine or extra supplies or services of freelance mercenary mage assist operations etc). The 25,000gp remaining purely for your personal enjoyment. Altough I laugh for the pitiful 50gp for your minions XD. Underpaid much :P.<br/><br/>Anyways indeed you would be one influential males around but what else expect high level thrallherd? Anyways I try work your follower in, you did notice my post regarding it? It was deep fae, gloura with 4 levels as virtuoso (Song and Silence virtuoso, not complete adventurer version).<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>A 1st level warrior is 6gp a month, 2ed is 18gp, at that rate of increase a 3rd level one is 54gp. And that's to pay them a standard wage, slaves are cheaper in upkeep. Especially if you offer them freedom after 2 years of service to give them a stake in staying loyal. And if they happen to have no where to go once they are free I<em>do</em>offer long term contracts for experienced fighters... 30,000gp still gives me a personal army the size of a fair sized House. So yeah, we'll go with your plan.<br/><br/>Also the believers worship me with utter devotion. The 50gp isn't to pay them, it's to<em>feed</em>them. Complete medical coverage is offered at my Stronghold for free.  ;D<br/><br/>And yes I saw the post about the Thrall (thanks for making it by the way). I was just waiting for more complete information before I started doing anything with it.<br/><br/><br/>On a completely unrelated note, how do we do skill checks? Because right now I need to pull off what I assume is a Sense Motive, possibly a Spot and Knowledge (Religion) as well depending on what I can read from a naked assassin.
