“I don’t have a lot of downtime.”
Between adventures, characters may participate in various downtime activities using downtime days. Whether it be scribing scrolls, making art or getting a job. In order to use downtime days, a player must first collect them.
-
- On the 1st of every month, a monthly downtime refresh of 30 days. This expires at 23:59/11:59 P.M. on the final day of the month in local time.
- Playing in sessions. These range from 10-16 days, unless non-canon this number is always a flat 8.
- Always check session log for the amount of downtime days you get for playing in a session.
- There is no magic item crafting. The artificer feature relating to this is disabled. Magic items must be bought or traded between players.
Editing any downtime message after posting is strictly forbidden and will result in the activity being voided. All gold and downtime are lost if a message states (edited).
-
- If corrections are to be made (or added), reply to the message with the correction.
- Players are responsible for information to be accurate and correct when doing downtime activities. This includes keeping time with timers and counters.

Wealthy (4 GP)
Living a life of luxury, though you might not have achieved the social status associated with the old money of nobility or royalty. You live a lifestyle comparable to that of a highly successful merchant, a favored servant of the royalty, or the owner of a few small businesses.
Comfortable (2 GP)
Afford nicer clothing and can easily maintain your equipment. You live in a small cottage in a middle-class neighborhood or in a private room at a fine inn. You associate with merchants, skilled tradespeople, and military officers.
Modest (1 GP)
Ensures that you can maintain your equipment. You live in an older part of town, renting a room in a boarding house, inn, or temple. You don’t go hungry or thirsty, and your living conditions are clean, if simple. Ordinary people living modest lifestyles include soldiers with families, laborers, students, priests, hedge wizards, and the like.
Poor (2 SP)
Simple food and lodgings, threadbare clothing, and unpredictable conditions result in a sufficient, though probably unpleasant, experience. You benefit from some legal protections, but you still have to contend with violence, crime, and disease. People at this lifestyle level tend to be unskilled laborers, costermongers, peddlers, thieves, mercenaries, and other disreputable types.
Squalid (1 SP)
You live in a leaky stable, a mud-floored hut just outside town, or a vermin-infested boarding house in the worst part of town. You are beneath the notice of most people, and you have few legal protections. Most people at this lifestyle level have suffered some terrible setback. They might be disturbed, marked as exiles, or suffer from disease.
Wretched (0 GP)
You live in inhumane conditions. With no place to call home, you shelter wherever you can, sneaking into barns, huddling in old crates, and relying on the good graces of people better off than you. Violence, disease, and hunger follow you wherever you go. You are beneath the notice of most people. You are 2x as likely to roll a complication when you must roll for complications. Chance of complication is increased to 20%. (1-2 on D10 or 1-20 on d100.)
Self-Sufficient (+1 DT)
The expenses and lifestyles described here assume that you are spending your time between adventures in town, availing yourself of whatever services you can afford—paying for food and shelter, paying townspeople to sharpen your sword and repair your armor, and so on. Maintaining this kind of lifestyle doesn’t require you to spend any coin, but it is time-consuming (+1 day to downtime activity). Spending time between adventures practicing a profession, you can eke out the equivalent of a poor lifestyle. Proficiency in the Survival skill lets you live at the equivalent of a comfortable lifestyle.
