Anvil Vale HR Downtime Actions

Downtime Actions

Unless otherwise indicated, this campaign uses the Downtime Activities from Xanathar's Guide to Everything. This campaign explicitly uses Rivals, who will be created as part of character creation.

• Craft a Magic Item: In this setting, crafts skill itself of great enough puissance is enough to impart magic into an item.
  • The craftsfolk must still use a material appropriate to the item in question, of course. As such, it is not uncommon for adventurers to be commissioned to seek out a source of such materials for craftsfolk working to create such items.
• 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.
• Support Icon: You spend a week of time working in support of an Allied Icon. For each week, you may make an Icons Relationship check.
• Work Against Icon: You spend a week of time working against an Adversarial Icon. For each week, you may make an Icons Relationship check.
