Domestic servants

Domestic servants, known on Raana as "Issids," are free men and women who serve the MC's household in various ways – as mercenaries, guards, bookkeepers and scavengers, among other positions. The distinction between an Issid and a slave is often blurry at best, and some Issids are even ready to provide sexual favors to their employers - or accept working as prostitutes.

Duties

Unassigned

Your Issid is available for future tasks and performs some minor chores, but generally spends his or her time resting and recuperating.

• Recovers Health and raises a low Happiness score more quickly.

Guard

Your Issid patrols his patron's household – making it more difficult for slaves to escape, as well as deterring raiders and thieves.

• All assigned Issids contributes to a "guard pool" that determines the overall effectiveness of their efforts, and varies based each one's character, age and melee skill.

Whore

Your Issid works as a petty whore, selling his or her body on the streets close to your home. An Issid working as a whore is not attached to or affected by the player's prostitution ring.

• Income based on sex, age and character.

Janitor

Your Issid works as a house cleaner and performs simple maintenance. With high enough Domestic and Intelligence scores, he or she will add an Influence boost and lower Maintenance costs.

Scavenger

Your Issid works as a scavenger and brings home a number of Merchandise units each day that is automatically added to your Inventory. The quantity is affected by Intelligence and character.

Bookkeeper

Your Issid works is assigned to track your household accounts and business interests, guarding against waste and fraud as well as enhancing your financial position.

• Provides an income bonus affected by Intelligence and Education.

Combat ready

Your Issid has been assigned to your adventure party and will aid you in combat encounters.

Training

The training activity is divided into two actions - Intelligence & Education, and Martial skills.

• Executing an Int + Edu session automatically raises either Intelligence or Education, or both (critical success).
• Executing a Martial session either raises the Issid's Melee or Ranged skill, or both (critical success).

A training session is always successful but you need to have a higher skill/attribute than your Issid to have a chance at raising it. The session takes roughly two hours and costs between 5-10 Stamina Points.
