DOWNTIME
Three steps to downtime:
LIFESTYLES:
Lifestyles each have a cost, this cost covers your lifestyle for this downtime period and your next adventure. Lifestyle can be changed after each adventure, though maintaining a certain lifestyle for several consecutive levels can confer benefits. Cost is an upfront cost in Doyen to pay for all the other aspects of the lifestyle. Dress options are guidelines to determine what your non-mechanically relevant clothes look like. Home and decor determine where in Tellus Athera you are currently residing, and how secure a place you have as well as your storage capacity - that is, how many item slots worth of items you can save without taking with you to your next session of play. If you downsize and no longer can account for all your items between your residence yourself (and any hideouts you have), you will have to sell excess items or lose them.

ACTIVITIES:
unit: Generally assume 4 ‘rest units’ per break. REST QUARTER RQ
Broad categories include HEALING (getting over trauma and addiction), INVENTING (tinkering with enigmas and crafting mundane creations), INVESTING (buying new equipment and selling treasure, and managing capital), and LIVING (working your day-job and spending time in society).
HEALING
-Healing DAMAGED wound (costs 1 rest unit):
recovering from a wound sustained on an adventure, free in public care.
-Ensure that poorly set DAMAGED wounds do not result in permanent disfigurement by paying DY500 to recover in a Sakara Tower recovery pod.
-Healing MANGLED wound(costs 2 rest units):
recovering from a MANGLED wound takes further rest.
-You can cut the rest time in half by paying DY500 to recover in a Sakara Tower recovery pod, the disfigurement is unavoidable, though.
-Detox (costs 1 rest unit):
Isolate yourself to reduce your dependence on Nectrol. Make an ENDURANCE save, if successful, reduce your addiction level by 1, on a failure you relapse and do not reduce your dependence.
-Pay DY200 for medication assisted treatment, giving you advantage on your ENDURANCE save.
INVENTING
-Investigate Enigmas(costs 1 rest unit):
-Pay an Enigmatist DY50xLevel to automatically identify an Enigma
OR
-Rent an Enigma Workshop for DY100: using the bench in the workshop roll a d20 on the Enigma Investigation table and add your INQUIRY
-If you are a member of the Burj, you may pay an additional DY100 to rent a Premiere Atelier and add +3 to your roll.
-you may purchase and consume Halite tea for DY200. This confers Advantage to your Enigma Investigation roll. This gives you +5% chance on a Madness roll, which you must take and then resolve in your next session. If you are a member of the Chowk City Tea Society, you can get the Halite for free.
-If you are a member of Horizon Inquess, add +2 to your roll for your access to the order’s extensive library.
Investigation Table
0-4 Failure! Nothing comes of it
5-15 One breakthrough
16-19 Two breakthroughs
20-24 Three breakthroughs
25-30 Four breakthroughs
30-34 Five breakthroughs
35 Six breakthroughs
Breakthroughs:
-You may use a breakthrough to ID an unidentified Enigma.
-You may use a breakthrough to OPERATIONALIZE a DISASSEMBLED Enigma you are TINKERING with.
-You may use a breakthrough to DISASSEMBLE an Enigma, allowing you to begin TINKERING with it. Once disassembled, an enigma cannot be used until a breakthrough is taken to OPERATIONALIZE it. Upon being DISASSEMBLED, an enigma has no inherent characteristics until they are added by TINKERING. In other words, disassembling an enigma makes it a blank slate to add effects onto (except with respect to Capacity Gaps and Incidental Flourishes, discussed below in detail).
-You may use a breakthrough to TINKER, rolling on the effects charts and then adding an effect to a disassembled enigma of your choice in your possession. If you do not possess a disassembled enigma that can take the effect you roll, the effect is lost. When you TINKER, you may either select a category of effect or roll to determine the category. Then, roll within the category to determine the effect. IF you choose to roll to select your category, you may roll twice on the specific effect roll and choose which you prefer. Guidelines for the effects are left purposefully broad, players should be creative and flavorful in coming up with the specifics of enigmas - though of course final approval for use always comes from the Guide.
Categories (d4)
1 Fundamental Effects. These are the primary purpose of the Enigma; a status effect is created, a condition is imposed, etc. Each Enigma can have 1 Fundamental Effect.
2 Secondary Effects. Weaker in strength than primary effects; layer over the fundamental effect. Adding a Secondary Effect increases the level of the Enigma by 1; each Enigma can have 1 Secondary Effect.
3 Parametric Adjustments. Expand the scope, strength, and reach of the Enigma’s Fundamental or Secondary Effects. Adding a parametric adjustment increases the level of the Enigma by 1.
4 Capacity Gap. Capacity gaps are limitations and breakages discovered or created by TINKERING with the Enigma. While the performance of the Enigma will be lessened, having to recreate a fundamental part of the Enigma makes it easier to operate. Adding a Capacity Gap decreases the level of the Enigma by 1. If discovered, capacity gaps MUST be added to a disassembled Enigma at hand. If a player has no disassembled enigmas currently above first level, save the gap and apply it as soon as
Fundamental Effects (d4):
1 Reactive. This Enigma is used only as a Reaction to an enemy’s action. The target and duration of effect can match any of the following three of your choice, but as a reaction rather than action.
2 Targeted, External. This effect has a target that is not the Enigma’s user. If there is a specific target, the effect should be the equivalent of 4HD, a 4 point ability swing, or a strong utility/disutility such as invisibility or blindness, effects should last 1 minute or be ended/avoided with a standard action or baseline save. Area effects should be limited to 20ft radii and be about half as powerful as a singly focused alternative.
3 targeted internal. This effect is targeted at the Enigma user (and potentially those surrounding the user). The power guidelines are the same as the externally targeted effect.
4 general environmental. These broader Enigmas affect a larger area such as “a house” or “a small forest” and impose some kind of advantage for the user’s allies or disadvantage for their enemies. This effect might involve the senses or mental state or generate mild atmospheric impairments.
Secondary Effects (d4):
1 Reactive. This Enigma is used only as a Reaction to an enemy’s action. The target and duration of effect can match any of the following three of your choice, but as a reaction rather than action.
2 targeted external. This effect has a target that is not the Enigma’s user, and is not necessarily the target of the enigma’s fundamental effect either. If there is a specific target, the effect should be the equivalent of 2HD, a 2 point ability swing, or a weak utility/disutility such as improved vision or a cone of silence, effects should last 1 minute or be ended/avoided with a standard action or baseline save. Area effects should be limited to 10ft radii and be about half as powerful as a singly focused alternative.
3 targeted internal. This effect is targeted at the Enigma user (and potentially those surrounding the user). The power guidelines are the same as the externally targeted effect.
4 general environmental. A secondary environmental effect is similar to the Fundamental effect but in a smaller area such as “a room” or “a clearing”.
Parametric Adjustments (d4):
1 Scope Expansion - Double the duration, area, or number of targets of the Enigma’s Fundamental Effect
2 Function Optimization - Add a HD, additional ability point swing, or commensurate power increase to an Enigma’s Fundamental OR Secondary Effect.
3 Supplemental Modulation - Double the duration, area, or number of targets of the Enigma’s Secondary Effect
4 Incidental Flourish - Add some distinctive quirk or memorable that either automatically forces a lesser enemy to check morale or automatically saves a hireling’s next morale check
Capacity Gap (d4):
1 Energy Consumption - requires a battery or UPRO canister to operate. Taking this gap additional times adds an additional battery or UPRO canister required for use.
2 Bulk - adds 1 inventory space to Enigma size. Taking this gap additional times adds additional spaces.
3 Reliability issues - roll a d20 when the Enigma is used, on a 1 the Enigma fails and loses its charge for the day. If this gap is added a second time, on a 2 the enigma fails and on a 1 the enigma fails and violently shocks the operator for d6 damage. For every additional time the gap is taken, these values increase, so the third time the enigma fails on a roll of 3 and the operator is shocked on a roll of 2 or 1, and so on.
4 side effect - Operating the enigma somehow alters the user’s physical form. Perhaps color slowly drains from their skin or their hair begins transforming into a different substance. Perhaps it’s radiation, biological contamination, or some suddenly-activated curse inscribed by ancient aliens. Longterm use of this enigma may have mechanical consequences as the player and guide agree. Taking this gap additional times either adds additional effects or accelerates the process of the a prior side effect.
Saving Effects gained through Tinkering
For DY50, you can record careful notes on the process that led you to discover a fundamental or secondary effect described above through tinkering. These notes are saved in notebooks, which are items with a size of 1. In the future, if the player still has possession of their notes and the enigma to which those effects were added is disassembled, they may add those effects back to that enigma freely, without the need for further breakthrough. In this way, enigmas created by players can be added to over time.
Fundamental and Secondary effects always retain all Scope Expansions, Function Optimizations, and Supplemental Modulations they had accrued through tinkering.
Persistent Capacity Gaps and Incidental Flourishes
Even if an enigma is disassembled, it retains permanently any Capacity Gaps or Incidental Flourishes it had gained through tinkering.
-Crafting (costs 1 rest unit): Rent a workshop for DY50 to combine mundane items you have on hand into a useable adventuring item, as approved by the Guide. Once an item is approved, in subsequent crafting sessions you can make up to 5 copies of the item in one go if you have the requisite components.
INVESTING
-Shopping (costs 1 rest unit)
Buy and sell as many items as you can afford from the item lists; note that you generally will not be able to sell items at their list price (LINK ITEM LISTS).
Item (areas)
Items are divided into broad areas:
(Organic) - delicacies from Adreinn’s surface (or simulated surface) including mundane tea as well as nectrol
(Mass-produced) - industrial inputs, basic tools, armor, and foodstuffs
(Mineral) - precious metals and gems, as well as chrysalid tea
(Weapon) - blades, shields, and firearms
(Luxuries) - fine livery, jewelry and instruments
(Artifacts) - mundane handmade items as well as Enigmas
Availability Tiers (buying):
IV - Legal and Prevalent; can be found without undue effort in Tellus Athera.
III - Illegal and Prevalent; Normal price if you have a rite with the council or a contact in the specific (area) of the item. Vassals and blood Stewards pay an additional 20% surcharge from opportunistic valets. Those with no connections may Proposition a Vendor. Roll a d6, on a 6 you find an honest dealer and can buy at regular price, at 4-5 you get somewhat chiseled and have to pay a 15% markup. On a 1, the “vendor” turns out to be a robber or an undercover Tonsure with the Constabulary, and you are either robbed or extorted for a bribe. In either case, you lose the value of the item in DY.
II - Legal and Rare; Normal price for Vassals and blood Stewards or with a contact in the specific (area) of the item. Those with a Council rite can buy these items “hot” at a 20% discount but players doing so should alert their Guide in the next session that they’re carrying stolen goods.
I - Illegal and Rare; Must have a contact in the specific (area) of the item. Possession will allows raise the suspicion of the authorities.
Availability Tiers (selling):
IV - Legal and Prevalent; Sell for 50% of list price, 75% on a successful Manner baseline save.
III - Illegal and Prevalent; Sell for 75% of list price, 100% on a successful Manner baseline save. Unless you have a Council rite or are a blood Steward roll a d6. On a 1, you are ambushed and beat up for dealing on a gang’s turf, accrue 1 DAMAGED wound.
II - Legal and Rare; Sell for 33% face value unless you have a contact in the specific (area) of the item, then sell for 75%.
I - Illegal and Rare; Attempting to sell will generally cause attention of authorities, unless you have a contact in the specific (area) who will take it off your hands for 50% face value.
-Manage Investments and Hirelings (costs 1 rest unit)
You may do any one of the following:
-Buy an establishment
-Sell an establishment
-Hire any number of hirelings (reminder: you may only bring as many ‘companion’ hirelings with you adventuring as your MANNER bonus)
ESTABLISHMENTS:
Establishments gain experience points like characters do, leveling up after receiving 20 XP. For establishments, XP represent both physical improvements and popularity. Higher level establishments generate more revenue and can be sold for more.
Each establishment has a ‘revenue die’, this can be thought of as similar to a hit die as it increases as the establishment levels up. Additionally, Each establishment has an operating cost that increases with level. Additionally, Establishments (with the exception of hideouts) need as many clerk hirelings as they have levels to operate.

Buying an Establishment:
Pay the Base Cost.
Selling an Establishment:
Sale price = Base cost + Operating Cost roll x 10. If you have an accountant for this establishment on your payroll for this period you can roll the operating costs twice and pick the higher number for the sale price.
HIRELINGS:
Hirelings come in two types - ‘task’ and ‘companion’. Task hirelings are contracted to do a specific service during downtime and do not carry over into the next session of play. Companion hirelings form a retinue that joins the player in their next adventure. ‘Cost’ covers pay for the hireling through the next session of play.
Companion hirelings are naturally equivalent to level 1 characters in terms of abilities and hit dice. For x3 price, level 3 hirelings can be procured, and for 10x price, level 5 hirelings can be hired. Additionally, for all companion hirelings, a morale score (2d6) is rolled secretly by the Guide upon hiring to determine how steadfast the hireling is - determining the number that if rolled over in a morale check causes the hireling to flee. Players can choose to overpay (1.5x the standard price) a hireling to increase the odds of the hireling holding their ground - the guide rolls 3d6 and keeps the two lowest. Companion hirelings hired for continuous sessions of play automatically lower their morale score by 1 in each subsequent session, unless other hirelings in the player’s service die during a given session.
