Average successes will be 2, so average cost will be 20 pounds. There is a small, 0.37% chance of 6 successes or more, at which point it is possible to make 0 loss or even a 5-10 pound profit on the charity. As the chance is so small, it is accepted as a month of extremely lucky fundraising. XP cost is as a background 1 rating. The same construction can scale up as a charity 2, costing 60 pounds, bringing in 10 profit per success. Charity 3 costing 120 pounds, 20 profit per success. Charity 4 costing 210 pounds, 35 pounds x number of successes (DC 7), and the outcome is substracted, rather than added to the income. The benefit of this specificper success. Charity 5 costing 300 pounds, 50 pounds per success.

Or just to enable those rolls at all?1))
