Homesteading in Sanctuary
How to Become a Homeowner
Homesteading only becomes available once a Character has settled into the city and gotten enough of a reputation to purchase on the open market. This is represented by a level of Clout. The first level of Homesteading becomes available at 25 Clout. Homes may be available for gold, trade goods, or even as reward for services rendered. Once purchased upgrades become available dependent on the size of your home. Individual homes and their relevant locations and information will be made available on the Homesteading channel on discord. Specific homes may have lore associated with them, or just be a pretty ordinary housing opportunity. Making a home can sometimes mean a legacy that last longer than you do. When characters die their homes continue on. They can be granted by Will to a friendly Player Character or NPC, or the home (with all upgrades and flavorful description) becomes available at auction.Types of Homes
Tent - This is the default, if you have a tent you can set it up various places throughout the city just to survive. Its not a good idea to leave valuables behind and no upgrades are available for these temporary dwellings. Room/Shack - You can get a single room as part of a larger shared building or an embarrassing shack you don't want to bring guests to. Includes 1 Small Room. Base Value 500gp. Apartment - You'll have your own entrance and enough space to make home. Includes 1 Large Room and 1 Small Room. Base Value 1200gp. House - A freestanding building, upgrades that require access to the outdoors can be installed here. Includes 2 Large Rooms and 2 Small Rooms. Base Value 2400gp. (Requires Advanced Homesteading) Estate - Live comfortably while others crowd, this is a sizable home suitable for many purposes. Includes 3 Large Rooms and 3 Small Rooms. Base Value 3600gp. (Requires Advanced Homesteading)
Location, Location, Location
The Neighborhood you live in will determine certain things about your home as well. You can look for in depth information about each neighborhood in the sidebar of the Sanctuary article. For the purposes of homesteading they are split into two groups, The Uppers and The Lowers. The Uppers - This includes the neighborhoods on the top side of the cliff, Naturenook , Old Town , Scribe’s Rise and Diamond District . Homes in these areas have access to the finer things in the city, but also have a greater presence of nosy neighbors and the dreaded homeowners association. The Lowers - This includes the neighborhoods below the cliff and closer to the river, Underbelch , Ashworks , The Wash and Castaway Catch . Homes in these areas are at increased risk of burglary and damage from floods.Neighborhood Benefits
Living in each neighborhood comes at a cost multiplier, as well as having a special effect.Diamond District - This is the most expensive of the neighborhoods. It boasts more open space and exclusivity as well as the best views in Sanctuary. Cost: 3x, only Apartments, Houses, and Estates available. Benefit: Spacious. The first home you acquire in the Diamond District has an additional Small room.
Cliffrim - Situated halfway between the Uppers and Lowers, and home to the upper echeleon of Sanctuary's nouveau riche, this neighborhood is carved into the cliffside itself. Claustrophobic for some, but by far the most peaceful place to live in town... if you can get in. Cost: 2x, only Houses and Estates available. You must apply and be accepted by the neighborhood HOA to purchase land here. Benefit: Secluded. The thick stone of the cliffside insulates sound -- not to mention that there's few places for windows. Barring magical spying, anything that happens in your home is assured to be private.
Scribe's Rise - A neighborhood ideal for entertaining, music, intellectuals, combined with the proximity to wealth make for pleasant and engaging gatherings. Nights to remember. Cost: 1.5x, only Shacks, Apartments, Houses, and Estates available Benefit: Sociable. When you gain a friend through carousing, you may roll twice and gain two friends. This does not apply to enemy rolls.
Old Town -Here you are near the Sapphire Hold and the protection of the guard. Making this one of the safest neighborhoods in town. Cost: 1x, all housing options available Benefit: Secure. If you would roll "robbery" on the carousing table, roll 1d3. On a 3, ignore the result. On a 2, get robbed as normal. On a 1, the guard caught you doing something dumb: you get Community Service instead.
Naturenook - The sylvan styled architecture lends well to the walkability and storefronts of this neighborhood. Often bustling, which is good for business. Cost: 1x, all housing options available Benefit: Shoppers. This is where people go for their mercantile needs. Storefronts you run here give a +5 to your job rolls.
Underbelch - The ground squishes, the shadow of the cliffs comes earlier here than anywhere else. Its dark, damp, dangerous. And affordable. Cost: 0.5x, only Tents, Shacks, Apartments, and Houses available Benefit: Grukstuuk's Eye. Recent colonizers from the deep dwarven city of Grukstruuk have taken upon themselves to clean up the Underbelch. It is good for business and law. When you roll being robbed on the carousing table, you instead are saved by invisible duager soulblades. But you must bribe them half of what would have been stolen as a thank you.
Ashworks - A crowded, industrial neighborhood. Aside from the slums between the factories, the housing is fairly nice. But the noise and the smell of industry drive prices down, and the weather eats away at just about everything. Cost: 0.7x, all housing options available Benefit: Sooty. The ash and soot has a way of corroding things over time. Outdoor fixtures (such as Cableway Nodes or Home Refugiums) cost 30% more, as they need to be built sturdier
The Wash - The area right at the falls has some inhabitants, but not many. It is a rough place to live and so oft ignored that no one would even know you've gone missing from it. Cost: 0.6x, only Tents, Shacks, and Apartments available Benefit: Flotsam. You may roll on the The Wash Trinket Table once per IRL week.
Castaway Catch - The sprawling outer district of Sanctuary, impoverished and overcrowded. Ramshackle apartment blocks tower over muddy streets, teeming with some of Sanctuary's least fortunate. It's like a little town of its own: for better and worse. These homes are basically built right on top of one another. There is little space at all, and just lots of people. Privacy is a myth here. Cost: 0.6x, all housing options available Benefit: Sleighted. The crime rate is enormous. If you'd roll "robbery" on the Carousing table, roll 4d6 and drop the lowest, instead of 3d6, for the money you lose
The Surface - Wild, untamed, and completely unfit for humanoid habitation. Despite strange creatures, toxic rains, food shortages, and all matter of other hazards, the few people who choose to live up here fiercely defend their claims. Cost: 1.5x, only Tents, Shacks, Apartments, and Houses available Benefit: Neighborhood Watch. Your neighbors on the surface watch out for you. They will make sure your house is free from encroaching critters. You may also use housing upgrades while on the surface.
Wintercrag - Not truly part of Sanctuary, but a neighbor. Wintercrag is ruled by the frozen unicorn patron, the Rimekeeper, and falls under their protection and icy blessing. Cost: 1x, all housing options available. All structures can be built out of ice at no additional cost. Benefit: Ice, Ice, Baby. As a resident, you are protected by the Rimekeeper. While in Wintercrag you have immunity to Cold damage, as do any pets that you keep in your home here. Additionally, after you spend a Long Rest in Wintercrag you gain Resistance to Cold for one hour, which begins as soon as you leave Wintercrag that day.
Necromancer's Grotto - The living are simply not permitted here. Undead only, or at least those who can show they wield adequate necromantic powers. This place is friendly to Vrykolokas and must remain secret from Sanctuary at large. Cost: 2x, Apartments, Houses, and Manors available. Bone construction is encouraged and doors and windows may be necromantically animated at no additional charge. Benefit: Lichfriend. By providing an offering valued at 50gp or more at Vrykul's Grasp, you may petition the lich of the Unders for a favor. This could be a vision, an answer to a question, or a more specific blessing. Petitions can be made up to once per IRL week. More interesting sacrificial offerings will net greater favor.
Secret Underwater Lotl Colony - This cave cannot be known to the public at large! This is one of the last refuges of the Cave Lotls who have been displaced by changes and incursions into their environment. The entire place is underwater, which poses some logistical challenges. Residents are responsible for their own means of breathing. Cost: 2x, Apartments Only, structures are built with coral fused structures which filter the water and keep it always in light flow. Benefit: TBD. This must be unlocked through plot advancement!
Upgrades
Upgrades require space within your home, the number of Large and Small rooms in your home will determine how much space you have to add upgrades. One Large Room may be used to house two Upgrades that would otherwise require a Small Room. Upgrades can be replaced as part of the construction time of the new upgrade. In order to install many upgrades to your home will require proficiency in particular tools. If you do not have the proficiency yourself, you can attempt to hire an artisan (see specific DMs for details, but no less than 2gp/day in cost for their time), or you may contract out another PC with the relevant proficiency. When Contracting out another PC there is no additional cost. But the contracted PC may take 25% of value of the upgrade as a 'material surplus'. For example, on an masonry upgrade costing 500gp, there is 125gp worth of marble or stone left over which serves as payment for the PC doing the work.Small Room Upgrades
