Downtime
Hard-Earned Rest
Downtime is the time spent between adventures. It encompasses activities that characters get up to when they aren’t exploring the City or otherwise in mortal danger. In game, downtime will often represent 4-6 weeks of recuperation.
Lifestyle Expenses
When characters take downtime, they must expend 25 gp. This gold covers costs related to food, shelter, and equipment used during downtime activities.
Adventurers that don’t pay their lifestyle expenses cannot participate in a downtime activity. They instead perform manual labor to fund room and board.
