-^Shooting Range |Space has been set aside for target practice with Remote weapons. Adventurers can spend a training fee of 1 Dosh in the establishment to temporarily increase their Remote combat skill by +1 until the end of the current session. A Shooting Range cannot be used more than once in a given session by any single adventurer. |
-^Squad |The settlement is home to a squad of 10 soldiers focusing on this class's weapon type. A single settlement can have multiple versions of this enterprise. All 10 soldiers are level 5 and have the same abilities/statistics, determined by you. At least two of the soldier's five abilities need to be weapon abilities, and all of the soldier's abilities need to be ones personally known by the retiring adventurer who establishes the squad. Squads fight for the interests of their local settlement. If a squad is wiped out, it can be restored to fighting order by spending 5 Dosh. |
