Legendary hunters and skilled warriors, centaurs are part man and part horse.

The centaurs are an old race only slowly coming to accept the modern world. In some rare cases, however, whole tribes under progressive leaders have come to trade or make alliances with other humanoid communities.

While the majority of centaurs still live in tribes roaming vast plains or the fringes of eldritch forests, many have abandoned the isolationist ways of their ancestors to walk among the more cosmopolitan cities of the world.

Businesses don't operate in a vacuum. Various disasters, accidents, and competition can affect a business's development, and they also require customers, investors, and even competition to thrive.

These business-related events can be good or bad. Generally speaking, the more prosperous the location, the higher the business's visibility, and the better its operations, the more likely it is to encounter beneficial events.

Although businesses in their early stages are frequently affected by various negative events, in the long run, business events are necessary conditions for building great enterprises.

In terms of form, business events are divided into interactive and non-interactive types. Interactive events require owners to actively respond using various possible methods, while non-interactive ones proceed naturally without additional handling.

A business may encounter one event per month, while high-risk businesses may experience them more frequently.

Added Spanish localization (by Miguel Lara)


As a business grows and becomes more profitable, the owner can hire specialists (at least 8 ranks in the relevant skill) to further enhance the business’s profit:

* +2 bonus on profit checks per primary-skill specialist.

* +1 bonus on profit checks per secondary-skill specialist.

* If the relevant skill bonus is higher than the owner's, a specialist may make profit checks or provide relevant bonuses.

* Primary-skill specialists or the owner not making profit checks may make aid checks to add +2 bonuses on profit checks.

* Businesses with primary-skill specialists are not affected by the owner part-time penalty, etc.


Businesses with at least +5 upgrade bonus may hire specialists, with the maximum quantity based on business size.

Specialists receive additional monthly salaries (standard employee salaries are already included in normal cost of operation).

A small business with Craft (alchemy) as its primary skill, producing a variety of potions.


The fighting school represents any establishment built to train aspirants in a specific method of combat, whether that method is unarmed combat, cavalry, archery, or melee weaponry.

Unlike other businesses, the fighting school’s “primary skill” is not a skill at all. Rather, the owner uses her base attack bonus as the primary skill when running a fighting school. The owner can include any bonuses from Weapon Focus or Greater Weapon Focus, etc. to the profit check.

Gladiatorial arenas are a particularly popular form of fighting school. Fighters, monks, paladins, and rangers make good owners of fighting schools.
