novice fief lord

By starting the 3rd level of this subclass, you will have already been able to take leadership of a territory that is normally small, although your DM will decide how much land you have. In this territory, you will regulate the general economy, and from there you will also take a respective part of wealth, which will be reflected in your fund points. The amount of background points will depend on how well or poorly the economy of your fief is doing (this will be decided by the DM). Apart from these fund points, you will also have daily earnings that, like your fund points, will depend on how good or bad the economy of your fiefdom is, although you can choose to give up this money to have more fund points. Additionally, you gain proficiency with the skills of insight, persuasion, and performance.

Equitable Redistribution: Allows you to identify imbalances and propose moderate adjustments in the distribution of resources.

• Boon of inspiration: When a creature rolls an inspiration die, you may use your reaction and one boon point to play a inspiring tune on your instrument to add 1d4 to that roll. Within a period of a week in a territory that you dominate, it will require 1 point of fund to maintain itself in a basic way, although alternatively with 2 points of funds the inhabitants of your territory will be able to enjoy much better prosperity, this could be reflected as better medical quality, more protection in the territory or jobs that are equally beneficial but less laborious. The number of fund points and the frequency of need may vary depending on special factors, and may be increased or reduced at the discretion of the DM.

• Economic Analysis: Ability to evaluate financial systems and propose basic improvements. To evaluate the financial situation of your territory, you must make an insight check (the DC is decided by the DM) to decide if your judgment was fruitful or not. On success, your territory's economy will continue to grow, making this week generate additional fund points. On a failure, your territory will generate a lower amount of funds this week. Improvements go hand in hand with evaluation, because sometimes you will find it necessary to support some of your businesses to increase the funds generated. The cost of this improvement will also depend on your DM and the result of your financial analysis.

• Economic Diplomacy: Ability to persuade small businesses and groups to adopt more equitable policies. This gives you access to make special deals with some merchants to get them to work for you or establish themselves in your territory. This is carried out through a conversation in which you will have to make a charisma (persuasion) check that will be satisfied by the person you want to convince with a wisdom (insight) check. If you get a success on this roll, the person you were convincing will be willing to work with you on your terms. On a failure, the creature will be unwilling to work with you, or will not want to do so on your terms. This type of deal could be, for example, convincing an alchemist to set up shop in your territory, making alchemical materials cost you half the price, or hiring an experienced warrior, doubling the training speed of more troops in your territory.
