This is a question about property.

Alright.

Quite simply two related questions:

1) can a non-Monk character (due to the Monk's current Vow Of Poverty) purchase land somewhere and have monks be welcomed there as a commune?

2) can a character purchase a parcel of land somewhere and set up a proper temple for a deity of their personal choice upon that land? say something that could hold between thirty and sixty people? given that you can have a barn and stables and such on the same parcel of land, that would technically hold as many people if not more. I guess maybe consider it Large Shrine + Large Barn combination on said parcel of land?

I have placed them in this area because they are something that have to with what some classes are and are not allowed to do on their own. The same goes with races. For the first question, it is directly related to the fact Monks (currently) as a rule cannot own property. For the second question, this is in regards to the different religions represented in the Temple District and how some are not shown to have any sort of temple or shrine within that area.

1.) If Monks cannot own property, they cannot own property, even if the plan is to turn it into a commune, it is still 'owned' and considered an item of value.

2.) Yes, provided you put the money into it, you can turn a shrine into a Temple. An Example is what Matwyn did for the Lady with his own funding and work. It is not considered part of the 'official' pantheon as recognized by Belariath, but certainly there is nothing stopping from private worshipers erecting their own Temple.

Okay, lyllamarie. My question, though was for a non-Monk to make the commune. The factor I should have been more clear on, though, was that said non-Monk was also going to remain the original owner of the land and the properties within. Say, for example, my druid Dasan was approached by a few monks about such an idea. Dasan, owning no land at this time, says "Sure, as long as Gaea's works are also appreciated there." Dasan then buys a parcel of land and creates a large enough living space for twenty people or so. Essentially a tower, as I don't think you could get a regular stone cottage to be the size of a longhouse. Now at this point, the land is still under Dasan's name, as are all the works in and around the main tower. Thing is, Dasan sees the place once a month or so, almost like a landlord. The monks that live on the land itself are charged with the maintenance of it, and can grow things as they like to eat.

So here would be the factors now:
1) non-Monk owns the land
2) non-Monk paid for everything on the land
3) Monks are not being charged active rent on anything, so they are still "guests" in a general term

So, is that allowed? It was something I was considering as a possible "future" for one of my characters. Not necessarily the druid though...

I don't see a problem with a non-Monk owning property, and what they do with it, provided its within game specs, is up to them. Invite some Monks, some Magi, have a sylvan elf orgy if you want.
