Day Job - Crafting - Using their crafts or skills to make money on a week-to-week basis

Day Job - Unskilled - Earn money as an untrained laborer on a day-to-day basis
Skill: None
Cost: Gain 1 silver per day

Check: None


If you're interested in doing something else let me know. There are of course many RP related activities that you could do during down time:
- Perform in a play (Sandpoint does have a theater)
- Start a relationship (you have encountered a number of lovely ladies, one of which has already shown interest in Vito)
- Craft a magical item to sell at profit (selling will depend on some Diplomacy checks and you'd need to go to Magnimar for a market, but could be very profitable)
- Spread your faith (for a lest a couple of you)
- Side adventures (with the virtual tool we could schedule an individual side quest, xps might be limited going solo, but it could still be rewarding. It could also be an RP based side adventure, like visiting a family member or searching for something)

So there are many options to think about. You'll have a couple of weeks very soon and then a longer period of time later on. So definitely start thinking about it.

I'd like to have armor made and find someone that can write up scrolls for me. I can take the scrolls feat, but my spell selection isn't huge so seems wasteful to do so, but it is still an option if you guys want some pally spells to cast.
