Land Purchase and Rights

Land ownership is your first step into getting the most out of your downtime. With the ability to customize your structure with assorted rooms designed to fit your lifestyle,

Land varies in size and a factor known as "plot rating" (R), noting the overall quality of the plot.

Purchasing Just the Land

 * If you wish to purchase a plot of land, but do not wish to build on it right away, then you may purchase a plot at the Standard rating, however should you wish build more than the maximum 9 rooms on this plot then the time comes, you must purchase the appropriate category of land needed to house this expansion, ie a Large plot for an expansion calling for 10 to 19 rooms, a XL plot for an expansion calling for 20 to 30 rooms, and so on, paying the difference of the cost for your upgrade
 * Example: Jimmy wants to expand his Standard Town plot into a Large Town plot. He must pay an additional 800 Gp fee to do so, with his total Gp spent on the plot coming out to be 1,600 Gp, aka the cost of a Large Town plot.


 * When expanding a plot like this, the new land acquired is considered to have the same Hardship/Boone as the original plot, with the owner paying the difference for things like plot ruins and the like.
 * Example: Jimmy has now expanded his plot, but his original plot had the Hardship Crumbling Expectations. He already paid 500 Gp to fix his hardship on the original plot, but with this new expansion, he must fix the foundations on the new areas of his plot. Since Jimmy has upgraded to a Large Town plot (Plot Rating 3), this will cost him an additional 1,000 Gp to fix, with the total amount of Gp spent on fixing plot foundations equaling 1,500 Gp, the amount of gold needed to overcome the Crumbling Expectations hardship for a Large Town Plot.

Land Rights
Once you own a plot of land, you can develop just about anything you want on it. Keep your rights in mind, and you won't go wrong.
 * Each building has 60 ft of Air Rights and Ground Rights, meaning that up to 60 ft. above the top of your structures and 60 ft. beneath the surface of your property is owned by you.
 * You may develop the area within the plot as you see fit up to the limits of your air and ground rights, but must receive clearance when developing below the ground of your plot due to the possible existence of underground piping, mine shafts, etc.
 * To conduct a survey of of the land below your plot, you must hire a surveyor to survey the plot at the #town_hall. This service will cost you 150 gp x the plot Rating
