The new "Kingdom Payroll" system was created to help both the DM and players better keep track of key NPCS being utilized behind the scenes in the Kingdom of Latveria. The system thus far functions as follows:
The Basics of Payroll
The Kingdoms Ruler will assign a number of BP earned during the Income Phase to be allocated into the "Kingdom Payroll" (minimum 1 BP).
The Kingdoms Ruler will assign any person that holds a Leadership Role within the Kingdom (including himself) to become "Pay Master" and allocate the Payroll into gold piece values and divide those values among Leaders to help them cover the costs of running their individual organizations. Each Payroll BP is worth 2,000 GP for this purpose.
-EX: The Pay Master sees that the Ruler has assigned 2 BP per month to be allocated into the Kingdoms Payroll. That means that the Kingdoms Payroll Total is 2 BP per month or 4,000 GP. The Pay Master decides that the Leadership positions that Need to be added to Kingdom Payroll are the Grand Diplomat, Marshal, and Spy Master. He divides the GOLD PIECE AMOUNT of his monthly Payroll BP amongst those three organizations as he sees fit (1k to Marshal, 1k to Diplomat, and 2k to the Spymaster in this example), which is them allocated by the controlling party to pay their people.
How to Use Payroll
Our Heroes and their individual Leaders within Latveria will use Payroll in conjunction with the Teams and Managers sections of the DOWNTIME rules (found on d20pfsrd.com under Other Rules Systems >Downtime).
Each different Team and Manager has a cost listed as a one time GP COST (for Teams) or as GP/DAY(for managers) So for PAYROLL purposes with Managers you multiply the cost/day by 30 to get the Monthly rate, with Teams the one time GP COST is taken from your Payroll in the Month you hire them. The listings for Teams and Managers include a general overall purpose and/or function for them, but based on how they are utilized and input from our Heroes these general uses MAY be altered to include additional static bonuses (either for our heroes individual goals or for Latveria as a whole).
Key NPC Teams and Managers will periodically appear within Latveria that can be utilized by our Heroes. These specialized individuals will have better static bonuses than normal but also come at a higher cost to your Payroll. Key Npcs Teams and Managers will be listed in the "Behind the Scenes" Kingdom post and will only last a short time UNLESS utilized within the Payroll system.
In the Future
I am also currently working on how to include the Capital System into game so you can all have your own personal income... as well as the Rooms and Organizations sections of the DOWNTIME rules...
