Monthly Pay

Each month on the job, a worker
earns his monthly pay – modified for
his job roll, as described above. Time
spent adventuring is usually not “on
the job,” although the GM might wish
to make exceptions for vacations,
work done while traveling, etc.
The GM may set any pay he likes.
The first table at right suggests a fair
monthly pay for someone of Average
wealth working at a “typical” job for
his tech level.
Actual pay at each TL varies within
a range bracketed by the typical
monthly pay of the previous TL and
that of the next TL; e.g., from $2,100
to $3,600 at TL8. Unless the economy
is under some sort of stress or outside
control, jobs near the high end of this
range will be difficult (significant
penalty to the job roll), dangerous
(severe consequences on a critically
failed job roll), or highly trained (many
or high-level skill prerequisites).
