Home Base

Home Base

The Home Base Background exists as a collective pool of Background points for a group, allowing members to contribute to a common goal or project at a 2:1 investment with the benefits both applying to the entire group and existing alongside personal Backgrounds of the same type. (See '+rules home base' for full details.) That being said, not all Backgrounds are eligible to be included in a Home Base pool.

For mages and similar groups, this is named Chantry and uses the +chantry command, but is otherwise equivalent.

+homebase / +chantry may also be used to document things like a member sharing their existing personal backgrounds / magic items / etc., or a ward that was cast on the building.
