Downtime Activities.</span></span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: -Georgia;">Between adventures characters attain the ability to perform downtime activities. These activities can be used to further individual goals, craft, reflect, and much more. As adventures happen, and between them, characters accumulate segments of time which can then be freely used (within the stipulations of individual activities) to perform various tasks. When you want to begin a downtime activity you simple post the completed activity prompt and then follow along with the posts directed at you. You must complete the scenes related to one activity before starting another. Simple scenes generally involve only a single post or two from you about your activity, while an expanded scene is a full interaction with the task at hand.<br/><br/></span><table

Downtime you must expend a number of gold for each segment used in order to maintain a certain lifestyle. This cost covers things like your food, beverage, lodging and other day to day costs. Each lifestyle has some impact on situations that you might find yourself in. Each time you spend a segment of downtime you must also choose which lifestyle you are selecting to live at that time.</em><br/></span></span><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Wretched - No Cost:</strong> <em>You choose to live in inhumane conditions. You pick at scraps for food and sneak into barns and huddle in old crates for shelter. While this lifestyle comes at no cost it comes at abundant danger. This lifestyle is rife with disease, hunger, and violence. You run the risk of falling ill at any time, and those around you covet your equipment as it represents a fortune to them.<em></em></em></span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Squalid - 3 Bishi/segment:</strong> <em>You choose to live in a something like a leaky stable, a mud-floored hut or a vermin-infested boarding house in the worst part of town. The disease is still common and you could fall ill at any point. You fall below the notice of most law, and thus gangs and violence are at their worst here and your stability is always at risk.<em></em></em></span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Poor - 10 Bishi/segment:</strong> <em>A poor lifestyle means going without comforts. You eat simple food and sleep in simple lodging. You wear clothing that is practical and sufficient, woven for effectiveness, not fashion. This is the lifestyle of unskilled laborers, mercenaries, peddlers, and other disreputable types. Disease is less common but still present; fortunately, you are recognized by some legal authorities and are afford some level of protection.<em></em></em></span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Modest - 1 Bijou/segment:</strong> <em>Your living conditions are clean, if simple. You eat commoners food and live in stable lodgings such as a simple inn, house, or temple. Disease is not a threat here, violence is vastly less common as you are the ordinary person and benefit from the legal protections of most authorities.<em></em></em></span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Comfortable - 5 Bijou/segment:</strong> <em>You can afford clothing that represents general fashion in the area, serving as more than just functional. Maintaining your equipment is easy here and you are at no risk of disease. There is almost no threat of violence while living in this lifestyle. You might rent a private room at an inn or a small cottage. Your lifestyle allows you to freely associate with merchants, skilled tradespeople, and military officers.<em></em></em></span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Wealthy - 20 Bijou/segment:</strong> <em>Living a life of luxury even if you have not achieved the social status of nobility, royalty, or old money. Your lifestyle is comparable to that of a highly successful merchant, a favored servant of the royalty, or the owner of a few small businesses. You live in respectable, well protected, lodgings that are extremely well kept. You afford yourself the services of up to three personal servants who can run simple errands for you and see to your needs and desires. However wealth and showing it begins to attract the notice of unsavory characters, and though you are protected by the full extent of legal authority they can hardly watch you and your belongings at all times.<em></em></em></span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Aristocratic - 50+ Bijou/segment:</strong> <em>You live a life of plenty and comfort. You move in circles populated by the most powerful people in the community. You have the best available lodging, eat the finest meals, and drink exotic beverages. Your clothing is the finest make available and represents the latest in fashions here and elsewhere. You may receive special invitations to social gatherings of the rich and powerful; spending your time in the company of politicians, guild leaders, high priests, and nobility. However, you must contend with the highest levels of deceit and treachery. You begin to catch the eye of unscrupulous organizations for your wealth. The wealthier you are, the more eyes are on you, and the higher the chance you are drawn into political intrigue as a pawn or participant.<em></em></em></span></li></ul><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Journaling (No Cost):</strong> <em>Once per chapter or individual adventure you may journal about your adventures, reflecting and learning more from your experiences. This has no cost in time or gold and does not require you to select a lifestyle, and is an optional use of time. A journal entry allows a character to look back on what has happened to them and learn more from it; it must be <strong>at minimum 700 words</strong> written from the perspective of the character on the events of the chapter - or adventure. Completing a journal entry will reward you with 10% of the experience needed for your current level.</em><br/><br/><strong>Crafting (Varies):</strong> <em>When crafting an item you must have proficiency in the tools required to craft it. You may begin crafting an item and come back to it later if you are unable to furnish the money needed at that time, or lack the segments to complete the task. You spend half the items value on crafting it, and you base your crafting time off what you spend to create the item; you may craft up to 50 Bijou worth of items per segment. Each segment used for crafting will require (at least) one roll with the relevant tools. Failed rolls mean both wasted time and resources, while success results in progress towards an item or creation of it. When crafting simple items posts should simply include insight into what the character has done; whereas crafting intricate items may require the acquisition of special materials or face certain challenges that you need to get around - when you choose to craft you may select for simply posting your process and making a roll, or may ask to expand on it and see where the acquiring of parts and the actual work looks like. Expanded scenes may develop into benefits or hindrances in your process.</em><br/><br/><strong>Practice A Profession (1 Segment):</strong> <em>You may apprentice yourself to learn a trade. Doing so will influence crafting rolls - and potential other things - the more you invest into this. While you apprentice you can maintain a modest lifestyle without spending any gold; your earnings from the apprenticeship cover these costs. The more segments invested into a particular trade will have increasingly more effect. Simple scenes may may be posted as what your day apprenticing looks like, however you may request an expanded scene. Expanded scenes may earn you contacts or connections, as well as potentially creating side adventures for you.</em><br/><br/><strong>Recuperating (Varies):</strong> <em>Sometimes magical means aren't available, or are too expense to invest into. In these cases you may spend a segement to recuperate and remove things like poison, illness, and disease. In many cases this will require a Constitution Save, and the difficulty - as well as the segments required to recover - are determined by the severity of the affliction.</em><br/><br/><strong>Training (10 Segments):</strong> <em>You may learn how to read, write, and speak a new language, or become proficient in a new tool. This training costs 10 Bijou per segment used, which does not include your lifestyle expenses; however, you need not use all segments at once, as learning this new thing can be broken up however you see fit. Simple scenes here may just reflect what a character did during that particular segment, what they experienced and where they struggled and succeeded. Expanded scenes are not available for this activity.</em><br/><br/><strong>Earn A Wage (1 Segment):</strong> <em>You attempt to use your skills, talents, and knowledge to earn some coin. These are always expanded scenes, and your lifestyle cost is always covered by this activity. Your activity and roll results will determine how much coin you can make.</em><br/><br/><strong>Research (1 Segment):</strong> <em>In addition to your lifestyle expenses you will need to invest a variable amount of money into finding and gaining access to whatever knowledge you seek. You inform the DM of what you're interested in researching and you will be given a cost. A simple scene will include your activities for the day and the rolls needed, while an expanded scene may result in additional (free) information or other information entirely.</em><br/><br/><strong>Side Adventure (Varies):</strong> <em>This activity is always an expanded scene. How many segments it takes will determine on what happens. This can be used to gain insight into things, earn gold, treasure, and experience on the side - as well as provide character growth opportunities. Side adventures may be done with other players so long as both characters have the required number of segments. Lifestyle expenses are not needed when you go into this activity.</em><br/><br/><strong>Go Crazy (1 Segment):</strong> <em>You spend an afternoon going crazy in the town. You invest 10 Bijou in what amounts to gambling, partying, and otherwise having a good time. There is a chance to lose your investment, break even, gain more, and potentially get involved in any number of other situations. This activity covers lifestyle expenses.</em><br/><br/><strong>Get Involved (1 Segment):</strong> <em>Each segment you use will cost you 25 Bijou, that does not cover lifestyle expenses. You invest in getting to know a certain individual or group and slowly build your reputation among them. These are often expanded scenes that will result in contacts and friends; which directly translates to easy information or favors that can be called in later.</em><br/><br/><strong>Relax &amp; Reflect (1 Segment):</strong> <em>You take the time to just enjoy life and ease into things. No expanded scenes are available for this activity, and simple scenes should depict what you do for the day. After doing this activity you gain inspiration at the start of the next chapter or adventure.</em><br/><br/></span></span><div class="codeheader">Code: (Activity Prompt) <a class="codeoperation" href="#" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[center][b][size=16pt][font=Courier]Activity Selection[/font][size][/b][/center]<br/>[b]What Activity?:[/b] [i][/i]<br/><br/>[b][u]Basic description of what you want to do.[/u][/b]<br/>[i]...[/i]<br/></code></pre><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: (Journal Entry) <a class="codeoperation" href="#" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[center][font=Andale Mono][size=16pt][color=white][shadow=black,top].
