Downtime Activities

Downtime Activities

At the end of each day, most parties will find themselves with around 4 hours for downtime activities.
Unused time from the rest of the day can be used to gain additional downtime, to a maximum of 8 hours total.
Downtime may be used to work on downtime jobs, relaxing, or another activity, such as setting up traps or bells to reduce the chance of a random encounter. This time may also be used for activities built into specific classes, such as a wizard writing new spells in their spellbook, or scribing scrolls.

Downtime Jobs

Any activity can be turned into a downtime activity by creating a downtime job out of it. Jobs use the Usage Dice system to track progress for jobs that last longer than 4 hours.
To create a downtime job, the GM determines the job's reward, its Usage Die, cost of required materials, and any prerequisites.
Prerequisite. A character cannot make progress on a task unless they meet the prerequisite.
Usage Die. The job has a Usage Die (Ud). After every day spent working on the job, roll the Ud. On a result of 1–2, downgrade the die one step. On a result of 1–2 on a Ud4, the job is complete — you earn the reward.
