Low Magic Age News

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.
