Structure
New Franchises get a home base of operations in a selected city with no competition within 25 miles. This home base will level up as your franchise does. Or, if necessary, the franchise can move to a larger base of operations.
P.A.C.T. Requires each franchise to pay 20 % of their earnings to maintain their franchise membership. This may seem steep at first but this stipend pays for any staff and upkeep for the headquarters. The franchise itself must pay for the upkeep on their headquarters starting at 250 gp per month. As your headquarters grows or changes those costs will increase as well.
hirelings - Your new franchise gets funds to hire your own hirelings to help you run your home base. The franchise begins with a skilled Hireling who runs the day to day and the upkeep of the home base while the party is off doing their job. At rank 2 of your franchise you are able to hire two more skilled hirelings to help with any new modifications to your headquarters. Some of these, when leveled up, become mobile. Franchisee’s can handle the hiring and firing of employees by themselves or put one in charge as chief of staff and make them do the dirty work. Any extra employees will be paid by the adventuring party themselves. Rank 3 adds another hireling and rank four will allow 2 more paid for by Home Office.
Roles and Gear - Members of your franchise each get to select their role in the company. This role is accompanied by a special instrument that helps augment that role. Roles and gear increase in level as the franchise gets more experienced.
Your Headquarters : At rank 1 you are given a local point of interest to call your own. This may seem run down or not up to your standards, but be patient things will change. Your HQ grows with you as a franchise. At rank 2 your HQ gets refurbished and expanded. Some HQ’s if possible may be given other enhancements. A houseboat may become a real working ship, An abandoned lighthouse may become a working lighthouse with defensive capabilities. Some headquarters can have additions built on to accommodate more staff and some may get cannons or electrified floors. It all depends not the type of HQ you have. At Rank 3 your HQ is modified again to suit your needs. That house boat that is now a ship may get a magic sail to help you speed around the oceans. At Rank 4 it may get a detachable submarine.
Monthly Business Performance : Each month a franchise performs the running a franchise task. The result of this task is used to calculate the final monthly cost and is deducted from the franchise’s coffers.
