v0.91.78 Patch Notes - Alchemy Workshop, Fighting School

New Business Type: Alchemy Workshop

A small business with Craft (alchemy) as its primary skill, producing a variety of potions.

New Business Type: Fighting School

The fighting school represents any establishment built to train aspirants in a specific method of combat, whether that method is unarmed combat, cavalry, archery, or melee weaponry.

Unlike other businesses, the fighting school’s “primary skill” is not a skill at all. Rather, the owner uses her base attack bonus as the primary skill when running a fighting school. The owner can include any bonuses from Weapon Focus or Greater Weapon Focus, etc. to the profit check.

Gladiatorial arenas are a particularly popular form of fighting school. Fighters, monks, paladins, and rangers make good owners of fighting schools.
