I made some additions to Book of the Manor for my campaign. Comments are welcome!

New Retainer
Yeoman Archer. He is a farmer who owns his own land and trains weekly at the butts. In war, he rides a pony, but fights on foot. Key Skill: Longbow. Cost £0, but the income of your manor decreases by £1. [He is worth 1 Knight Value]. Note: Only available from the Tournament Era.

Townhouses
From the Tournament Era onwards, many noblemen becomes more urbane, figuratively and literally. Many live at Camelot at a semi-permanent basis, or spend a lot of time in London or the most important town in their county. Such gentlemen my prefer to build their own townhouse, rather than living in a cramped court, damp pavilion or quartered in a vulgar merchant's home.

Townhouse
A two story stone house in a town or city.
Cost to build: £16 + £2 Furnishings.*
Annual Maintenance: £1 or £2.*
Annual Glory: 0


Townhouse, Great
A three story stone house in a town or city.
Cost to build: £27 + £4 Furnishings.*
Annual Maintenance: £2 or £4.*
Annual Glory: 1
Grants: Roll for Proud


Camelot Townhouse
A two story stone house in Camelot.
Cost to build: £32 + £5 Furnishings.*
Annual Maintenance: £2 or £5.*
Annual Glory: 2


Camelot Townhouse, Great
A three story stone house in Camelot.
Cost to build: £50 + £10 Furnishings.*
Annual Maintenance: £4 or £10.*
Annual Glory: 5
Grants: Roll for Worldly, Proud

*All townhouses: The cost for Furnishings can be ignored if 1) the house is only uses occationally (one season per year or less) and 2) you have a Hall with the corresponding value of Furnishings (it is assumed to be transported for your stay). The first cost for annual maintenance is for a townhouse that is used one season per year or less; the second cost for one that is used more than that.

Nice. The glory for the townhouses seems a tad low to me though. As it's essentially a luxury I would give 1 point for even a normal town house and increase the others correspondingly, so 1, 2, 3, 5 instead of 0, 1, 2, 5. TBH none of my players are going to argue over a single point of Glory but in principal it feels right.

Thanks for the comments.

As for Glory, I guess you are right Sir Pramalot. But the problem with Glory seems to be gloryinflation rather than to litte of it. At least in my campaigns ...
