Downtime and Setting

Downtime and Setting:

Since the setting will revolve around a living world, downtime will be determined by the actual date progression in the community. Outside of adventures 1 real time day equals 1 setting day.

Your character will earn downtime days for every day that progresses in the setting that he does not go out on an adventure starting from the date your character was approved (Or Foundation date, whichever is later). If a character goes on an adventure, it does not earn downtime days but can use the adventure crafting rules.

For all other uses, see the Downtime section of the SRD.

Quick note for T2 characters, at the bottom of this post is the XP/GP chart that you use instead of the normal Downtime method to earn XP.


Special Downtime Exceptions:

We will be using all standard Downtime rules with the following exceptions:

• Influence for T2s can be earned by gaining notoriety from dangerous adventures or purchased from other Players. It cannot be bought from the town directly nor can it be earned with skilled work or with a business.
  
• In addition to buying from players and adventuring, Influence for T1s can be earned by using your downtime to gain contacts and it increases based on the amount of fame you have and not your skill checks.
• You cannot reduce building time by doubling the resources spent on the building.
  
• The Town Modifier limit based on town size applies to both Purchasing and Spending capital
  
• You may not retrain hit points.
  
• T2 Characters who use downtime for XP must use the chart at the end of the downtime section of these rules.
  
• You must record each day for downtime. You may combine the result if you do the same thing for multiple days, but must make a full entry for exp, gain of wealth, capital.
  

Influence and Fame:

The amount of influence earned from adventures is tied to your character's fame and level.  The amount of influence earned from downtime is based only on your fame.  Your influence should be calculated on your character thread when applying table stats or doing downtime checks. 

For an Adventurer your influence is gained by going on dangerous quests.  Multiply your character level by your Fame Multiplier from the chart below to calculate how much influence you earned from your last adventure.  (round down, Min: 1 w/ fame) 

Citizens can gain influence from quests.  In addition citizens can earn influence by spending your time gaining contacts.  Multiply the number of downtime days you spend to get influence by your Fame Multiplier from the chart below to calculate how much influence you earn from each downtime day. (possible to earn 1/2 IP per day with <10 fame)

Fame and Influence is based on this chart: 

Downtime in relation to Tiers:

• Tier 1s (Citizen Characters) have a 10x tier modifier for skilled work checks.
• Tier 2s (Adventure Characters) have a 1x tier modifier for skilled work checks.

Special Rules for Downtime and Followers and Cohorts:

A Business is defined as the following:

A group of teams all able to work using the rooms within the building which is otherwise know as an organization.

Together that is defined as a business.

Banks:

1. Banks will not do loans of any kind between characters. Any characters party to the loan will lose all associated gold or items gotten with said gold.
2. Banks, if they do investments (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/ultimate-campaign-investments/) will function exactly as stated. This will not come into play until we have a MINIMUM of 2,000 people within the town (Large town status). 
3. Banks may store money and items for players, but will not earn interest or the like unless done for an investment as shown in #2.
   
4. Banks may exchange gold for platinum with a 5% exchange tax to the city paid by the bank. 

Buying, Selling and Using Capital

• Goods (20 gp purchase, 10 gp earned)
• Influence (30 gp Value, Gained from adventures or crafted by T1s based on Fame)
• Labor (20 gp purchase, 10 gp earned)
• Magic (100 gp purchase, 50 gp earned)
  

    1. Capital can be traded between players (using modified prices per buying and selling items), most notably with influence. In this game you cannot buy influence out of thin air like other kinds of capital

        A. Note for Tier 1 characters, you earn experience for both the creation of the capital and the sale of the capital. that was created by your character. (You do not earn XP             for buying or selling capital you did not create)

        B. Capital bought and sold this way does not count against your limit for buying capital from town.

        C. You may also trade capital in exchange for goods and services, by using their purchase price for this exchange. If an item costs 600 gp, you can give the maker 30             goods or labor, 20 influence or 6 magic in exchange, or any other combination that adds up to 600 gp.

            i. If fully using trading with capital, then you do not take any cha penalties, but if you use any gold, then the Cha penalty kicks in for the whole amount traded.

    2. Magic capital can be used to make magic items. This does not change the time to make them.

        A. For this, you take the buying price for Magic (100 gp) and subtract 100 gp from the cost to make the item for each unit of magic you use.

        B. For example: Player A is a Tier 1 character and earns 10 units of magic capital for 500 gp (10 x 50 = 500) and earns 500 xp. He then sells the 10 units to Player B for 900 gp

            (essentially 90 gp for each of the 10 units) and earns another 450 xp and makes a profit of 400 gp. Player B can now spend this capital to make an item, so he spend all 10 units

            (valued at 100 gp each) on an item that costs 1000 gp to craft. This results in him saving 100 gp for making that item (1000 gp worth of magic capital expended, bought for 900 gp).

            i. All told, Player A earned 950 xp and 400 gp for that whole exercise, while Player B saved 10% on their crafting cost.

    3. Goods can be used to make mundane items. This does not change the time to make them.

        A. For this you take the buying price of Goods (20 gp) and subtract 20 gp from the cost to make the item for each unit used. Partial use of goods consumes the whole good, regardless

            of how much would be left.

        B. Goods can be used in place of needing to buy special materials, with each good counting as 20 gp worth of that special material. You must fully pay for the item using goods for

            this to work.

    4. Capital sold between characters MUST be sold for the purchase price, with the only modifier being if you have a storefront or other qualifying room.

        A. Failure to do so will counts against any discounts you would otherwise get for using it.

    5. Labor and Goods can be purchased from town by characters up to the current town modifier, per day.  The limit is determined by town size.  

Additional Downtime Activities

Services: 

Downtime for Experience: 

T2 Downtime for Experience:

• Earn XP & Gold (Replaces the Earn XP option from downtime)
  

Adventurers that are always out of town can take their time to not only kill enemies but also search for some left behind treasure, hunt some crypts for relics and all along acquire some more gear from the world. Tier 2 Characters use their downtime days to hunt for both XP and Gold at once, gaining a reduced XP rate but actually managing to find stuff that translate to a little extra funds. This is recorded as straight gp, character does not get any other loot (Mundane items, magic items or plot related things) only gold coins. 

This option replaces the normal XP downtime gain, T2s can't spend downtime only for XP gain!
