Re: (TFT) Jobs, Talents, and Buildings

Maybe this'll fit...

Job / Requirements /Pay / Risk


Unskilled/farmhand/etc.   none, none, none
This is the kind of thing that causes the slaves to revolt.
After wasting the best bottom land on tobacco many eastern plantations moved 
to wheat, a crop requiring field rotation and fodder crops for the animals.
This spread out operations and required a higher level of skill from the 
slave-workers.
As a result slaves gained more autonomy and opportunities to earn income.
I guess perhaps this was an attempt to show wage-slaves like share croppers 
but no money, risk or rewards ever?
A large "unskilled" labour force is a product of industrialization I'd 
think.
Farmer/Rancher is the third most dangerous job on a list from a couple of 
years ago.
Fatalities: 40 per 100,000 workers  (#3)
Reported Injuries: 7 per 100,000 workers

Fisherman/Sailor  Seamanship, $30, 4/17 (1.852%)
4/17 for one of the most dangerous jobs there is?
Fatalities: 129 per 100,000 workers (#1)
Reported Injuries: 61 per 100,000 workers
129 + 61 / 100,000 is 0.0019
Even cranking the injury/death rate up an order of magnitude I'd have to go 
to a 5 on 5d6 to get under it (5 on 5d6 = 0.013%)

Forester/Hunter / Trapper,  Naturalist - Tracking, $30, 3/18 (0.463%)
Does Logger go here?
Fatalities: 116 per 100,000 workers  (#2)
Reported Injuries: 7 per 100,000 workers

Town Laborer,  none, $5, none
Does sanitation worker go here?
Fatalities: 37 per 100,000 workers (#5)
Reported Injuries: 5 per 100,000 workers

Shop Worker, etc.,  Literacy, $10, none
This doesn't seem right at all under a medieval economy, and what's the deal 
with Literacy?

Skilled Work

Armourer/Smith,  Armourer OR Goldsmith, $100, 3/18
Master Armourer,  Master Armourer, $150, 3/18
Ughhh
A whitesmith is different from a blacksmith who is different from a 
goldsmith who is different from a swordsmith who is different from an 
Armourer.

Merchant (any type),  Business Sense - Assess Value, $75, 3/18
Merchant Mariner?
Fatalities: 23 per 100,000 workers (#9)
Reported Injuries: 5 per 100,000 workers
Another catchall that is way too broad and seems to assume some kind of 
industrialization.

Healer,  Master Physicker, $100, 4/18 (1.852%/0.463%)
Not likely to be a stand-alone Job.

Scholar/Teacher/Scribe,  Scholar, $75, 4/18
Sage,  Scholar - 3 Languages, $125, 4/18
Priest,  Priest - Charisma, $75, 3/18
High Priest,  Priest - Charisma - Theologian - Business Sense - Detection of 
Lies, $150, 3/18
These require a whole lot of cultural description to fit in and players 
would almost certainly be familiar with any prevalent social structure like 
that. (Barring a 'fish out of water' setup which has a bag of troubles of 
its own).

Chemist,  Chemist, $100 (or profits from sale if owner) 3/16 (0.463%/4.63%)
Making potions?
Maybe Lineman?
Fatalities: 30 per 100,000 workers (#11)
Reported Injuries: 3 per 100,000 workers

Builder,  Architect - Builder OR Shipbuilder, $50, 3/18
Construction?
Fatalities: 46 per 100,000 workers  (#4)
Reported Injuries: 6 per 100,000 workers
Roofer ?
Fatalities: 34 per 100,000 workers (#7)
Reported Injuries: 3 per 100,000 workers
Equipment Operator
Fatalities: 16 per 100,000 workers (#18)
Reported Injuries: .4 per 100,000 workers

Animal/Bird Trainer,  Animal Handler - Monster Followers - Vet, $75, 4/17

Minstrel,  Bard, IQ * 4, 3/18

Entertainer,  Bard & one of: Charisma - Sex Appeal - Acrobatics - Mimic - 
Ventriloquist, 15 * # of listed Talents, 3/18

Translator,  3 Languages - Literacy, # of Languages * 15, 3/18

Mathematician,  Mathematician, IQ * 6, 3/18
?
Accountant maybe?

Calligrapher,  Artist &/OR (?) Calligrapher, $50, 3/18
Scribe or Artist?
You can't write a language, pretty or not, without knowing the language.

Dangerous Jobs

It's one thing to seize an occasional opportunity from time to time but to 
make a profession of thievery requires a large, concentrated population like 
a city and those are quite rare in the medieval age.
Petty Thief,  Thief, $100, 5/15 (4.63%/9.259%)
Burglar,  Silent Movement - Thief, $150, 5/14 (4.63%/16.204%)
Professional Thief,  Master Thief - Remove Traps, $150, 4/15 (1.852%/9.259%)

Highwayman/Brigand,  3 Weapon Talents "skills",  $250, 5/12 (4.63%/37.5%)
Have I written about the Thuggee's yet?
A little bit it seems.
http://tft.brainiac.com/archive/0903/msg00143.html
This isn't a primary occupation but more like a supplemental thing.

I'm tempted to call cops Brigands but I suppose it depends on how you draw 
members of the town guard or whatnot.
Fatalities: 16 per 100,000 workers (#12)
Reported Injuries: 3 per 100,000 workers
Also Security Guard
Fatalities: 8 per 100,000 workers (#20)
Reported Injuries: .4 per 100,000 workers

Mercenary Recruit,  3 Weapon Talents, $50, 5/16
Merc Vet,  4 Weapon Talents - UCI, $75, 4/17
Merc Cptn.,  5 Weapon Talents - UCI - Tactics, $125, 4/17

Army/Police Recruit,  3 Weapon Talents, $50, 5/16
Army/Police Regular,  4 Weapon Talents, UCI, $75, 4/17
Army/Police Sergeant,  5 Weapons Talents, UCI, Tactics, $125, 4/17
Army/Police Officer, 5 Weapon Talents - UCI - Tactics - Strategist - 
Engineer - Diplomacy OR 5 years as a sergeant, $250, 3/17

Army/Police Auxiliary,  Driver OR Engineer OR Tracker OR Priest, $50, 3/17
Taxi Driver
Fatalities: 21 per 100,000 workers (#16)
Reported Injuries: 1 per 100,000 workers
Truck Driver
Fatalities: 22 per 100,000 workers (#17)
Reported Injuries: .4 per 100,000 workers

These seem to be special military Jobs built around a specific military 
model.
I'm not sure how appropriate they are.
For example, who needs a Courier with Long Distance Telepathy?
Courier,  Alertness - Running - Swimming - Expert Horsemanship - 2 Weapons 
Talents, $80, 4/17
Spy,  Spying - Silent Movement - Disguise - Literacy - 3 Languages - Master 
Thief, $250, 5/15
Tax Collector,  Literacy - Detection of Lies, $75, 4/15

Boats are all messed up.
I've got cannon now so I'll throw out ships here soon.
Fighting-ship Crewman, Seamanship, Boating, Swimming, 2 Weapon Talents, $50, 
4/16

Rogue,  Sex Appeal - Bard - Alertness - Charisma - Bussiness Sense, IQ * 7, 
4/16
Armsmaster,  DX 15; 6 Weapon Skills +, 10 * # of Weapon and UC Talents, 4/17
I've noticed that folks have a tendency to look at the hobbies of the 
aristocratic as professions.

Wizards Jobs (A requirement for all of these, naturally, is that you must be 
a Wizard)
With a guild system and a society that gleans its magical talent carefully 
it's hard to hold an economy out of industrialization.

Apprentice,  Aid Spell, $25, 4/18
Of key importance to the prevalence of magic.
Keep apprentices as part of the elite classes and there are about 2000 for 
every one million population (@ 90% peasants to feed the population)
Identify apprentice talent out of the peasants and your talking about 18,000 
extra Joes with 162,000 fST to draw from.

Journeyman,  IQ 10; Aid Spell, 3 * IQ, 4/18

Town Wizard,  IQ 11-13, $75, 4/17
IQ 14-16, $120, 4/17
IQ 17-18, $200, 4/17
Town Wizard Extraordinaire,  IQ 19 +, $300, 4/16

Mercenary Recruit,  DX 12; ST 12; 6 combat spells, $75, 5/15
Mercenary Veteran,  DX 13; ST 15; 7 combat spells, $125, 4/16
Mercenary Captain,  DX 14; ST 16; 8 combat spells - Diplomacy - Business 
Sense, $250, 3/17

Army/Police Recruit,  5 combat spells, $50, 5/16
Army/Police Regular,  7 combat spells, $75, 4/17
Army/Police Sergeant,  8 combat spells - Tactics, $125, 4/17
Army/Police Officer,  8 combat spells - Tactics - Strategist - Diplomacy OR 
5 years as a sergeant, $250, 3/17

Wizardly Thief,  Silent Movement - Lock/Knock spell, $150, 5/14

Wizardly Brigand.  6 combat spells, $250, 5/12

Entertainer,  Sex Appeal AND/OR Charisma - several showy spells, 8 * # of 
showy spells (+ $20 Bard, + $40 Master Bard), 3/18


Obviously missing Jobs

Ship Captain
Maybe pilot?
Fatalities: 72 per 100,000 workers (#6)
Reported Injuries: 2 per 100,000 workers

Miner
Coal Miner
Fatalities: 22 per 100,000 workers (#8)
Reported Injuries: 6 per 100,000 workers
Maybe Oil and Gas Driller goes here?
Fatalities: 24 per 100,000 workers (#14)
Reported Injuries: 1 per 100,000 workers
Cement Manufacturer too?
Fatalities: 13 per 100,000 workers (#15)
Reported Injuries: 3 per 100,000 workers

Miller
Fatalities: 12 per 100,000 workers (#10)
Reported Injuries: 9 per 100,000 workers

Firefighter
Probably not a Job but.
Fatalities: 7 per 100,000 workers (#13)
Reported Injuries: 6 per 100,000 workers

Butcher
Fatalities: 2 per 100,000 workers (#19)
Reported Injuries: 1 per 100,000 workers



Of particular note, while I wouldn't put too much value in the modern list 
as a corollary to job risk owing to vastly increased safety measures, on the 
reported injury side I'd guess the actual injury rate to be VASTLY under 
reported.

I figure that the peasant class should have a Talent set that makes them 
more or less independent in their maintenance and production.
Let's see.
IQ 8
Farming (1)
IQ 9
Animal Handler (2)
Driver (1)
Mundane Talents;
1 IQ point to learn: Beekeeper, Butcher, Carpenter, Draper, Fisherman,

Potter, Vintner, Wood-Carver.
IQ 10
Naturalist (2)
Business Sense (2)
IQ 11

Vet (2)
Possibly others depending on culture, geographical location, technology, 
etc.


Lot's of work here.
This is a list of buildings from Sim Cities Societies which has a system 
something like the Fame, Fortune, and Happiness thing I'm hashing for 
"motivations", or alignments.
I've got some very basic notes for some of these buildings refering to Jobs, 
Technology, and/or alignments supported by the structures.
Any thoughts or opinions would be interesting...
