Xanathar's Guide to Everything

• Buying a Magic Item: In the setting of Waterdeep, alter this activity in the following ways:
  • Reduce the cost to search for them to 50gp. The cost to gain bonuses to the roll remains the same.
  • Gain a +5 on the Resolution check, due to increased availability of items in Waterdeep.
• Carousing: Carousing can be used to generate either Contacts or Rumors.
  • When seeking Rumors, a character who successfully carouses generates a number of rumors equal to 1 + his Carousing Contacts.
• Crime: as normal.
• Gambling: as normal, except that a character may choose to cheat at some point, replacing one of the checks with a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.
  • Cheating increases the potential for complications to 20% however.
• Relaxation: Characters recover one Hero Point for each workweek of this activity.
• Religious Service: Characters recover one Hero Point for each favor they generate from this activity.
• Research: Research can be used to research new spells and magical item schema alike.
  • Spells: This check is performed at a penalty equal to the level of the spell in question, and requires the accumulation of a number of pieces of lore equal to the (level x2), or just one for cantrips. Once researched, the cost for scribing the spell into a spellbook must still be paid.
  • Schema: This check is performed at a penalty based on the rarity of the item, and requires the accumulation of a number of pieces of lore based on the rarity, as follows: Common (-0, 1 piece of lore), Uncommon (-2, 3 pieces of lore), Rare (-4, 6 pieces of lore), Very Rare (-6, 12 pieces of lore). Researching Legendary schema is not possible, although completing a Research for a Very Rare one will give a researcher the knowledge of where to do (and thus, what quest to undertake) to find that schema.
• Scribing a Spell Scroll: as normal
• Selling a Magic Item: as normal
• Training: as normal
• Work: as normal

House Rules

• Running a Business: Rules for running a business, legal or otherwise.
• Establish or Use Information Network: Rules for fostering information networks, and using them to gain clues about what is going on or to spread rumors. (These differ from the sources of information for Harper Cells, as these networks are yours alone.)
• Harper Cell Development: Building Connections, Building Watcher Network, Building Allies, Building Security: Actions that allow the agent to strengthen their cell's capabilities and connections.
