After reading the stronghold builders guidebook, I decided to devise m own system, this is the result of some.. 14 hours of research into houses of the time frame with a dabble of modern working and all more or less translated into 3.5, aside from skill checks which I chose to leave up to the DM to assign/determine. Higher level workers cut the time down, 10% in time/cost/materials per 2 levels of worker.

Construction speed/costs/time.

Average NPC worker Level 1 Stonemason. STR 14-16 range can move between 150-260 pounds of stone, a day.

Character death is usually a bad thing and one of a few options happen. Below is a possible way to continue playing the character without adding too many templates,re rolling, etc.

Usually when a char dies one of the following happens.
1: Re roll a char.
2: Char is subject to a raise dead/Resurrection/etc spell.
3: GM fiddles the rules to bring the char back or it's the '2nd' of the char.

Suggestions:
1. Death is not permanent: Dying in a fight doesn't kill you. Your HP bar is the same as a stamina bar. When it reaches 0 you take a -5 to all combat actions, skills and so on until the HP is recovered and can take only a single action a round. To 'die' you must be dropped to -15 or more HP a 0 HP score means you are incapacitated and can recover via healing.

2. Everyone get's one: Each character
