| For each day of downtime you spend, you must also pay your character's daily lifestyle expenses. Each one comes with its own cost and benefits. The wealthier your lifestyle, the more your character can associate with other wealthy characters, allowing them to gain influence among the town's elite. | For each day of downtime you spend, you must also pay your character's daily lifestyle expenses.

| + | Your lifestyle expenses include the cost of food, shelter, and everyday activities. You do not need to pay for these expenses individually during adventures or downtime if they are within the level of lifestyle expenses you paid for that day. | ||

| + | Note that if you perform activities during downtime that provide a lifestyle at a certain level and you choose to live at a lower lifestyle, you do not get a rebate for the difference between the lifestyles. However, you are allowed to pay the difference between the granted lifestyle and a higher lifestyle to upgrade to that one. | ||
| //**Wretched (no cost).**// You live in inhumane conditions. With no place to call home, you shelter wherever you can, sneaking into barns, huddling in old crates, and relying on the good graces of people better off than you. A wretched lifestyle presents abundant dangers. Violence, disease, and hunger follow you wherever you go. Other wretched people covet your armor, weapons, and adventuring gear, which represent a fortune by their standards. You are beneath the notice of most people. | //**Wretched (no cost).**// You live in inhumane conditions.

| //**Wealthy (4 gp).**// Choosing a wealthy lifestyle means living a life of luxury, though you might not have achieved the social status associated with the old money of nobility or royalty. You live a lifestyle comparable to that of a highly successful merchant, a favored servant of the royalty, or the owner of a few small businesses. You have respectable lodgings, usually a spacious home in a good part of town or a comfortable suite at a fine inn. You likely have a small staff of servants. | //**Wealthy (4 gp).**// Choosing a wealthy lifestyle means living a life of luxury, though you might not have achieved the social status associated with the old money of nobility or royalty.

Below is a table of the recipes, downtime costs, and materials it takes to make them. The recipe for a simple //potion of healing// is known by all characters with proficiency in the herbalism kit. | ||

| + | =====Guild Activities===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the purposes of Brightshore, a guild is any organization to which a player can belong that has a collective purpose. This includes the Guard, the Arcanum, the Defenders, trade guilds, and the like. This does NOT include the religious orders, shrines or [[brightshore:rules:businesses|businesses]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A player must spend 15 days of downtime per month to stay in good standing with the guild. If they do so, they can live the entire month at a modest lifestyle at no additional cost. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Being a member of a guild carries with it some benefits beyond lifestyle. A character may, if they spend 15 days that month working for a guild, make up to three distinct, guild appropriate checks of their choosing. This does not count any checks that might arise as part of arbitrating those three checks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example, a Defender on patrol outside the city may make three Survival checks to track threats, or perhaps three Charisma checks to chase down rumors, or some combination thereof. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Additionally, the character will have access to knowledge and contacts that make sense within the guild. Guards will know of other guards, but may also know of repeat offenders, or rumors about certain people, or information of a similar nature. | ||
