Downtime Mode

Downtime mode is played day-by-day rather than minute-by-minute or scene-by-scene. Usually, this mode of play occurs when you're in the safety of a settlement, maybe recovering from your adventures or crafting new augmentations. Downtime gives you time to rest fully, engage in crafting or a professional endeavor, learn new spells, retrain feats, or just have fun. You can sell items acquired during your adventures, buy new equipment, and perform other activities as determined by your feats, your skills, and the settlement where you're spending the downtime. Cost of Living You might need to pay your cost of living for days spent in downtime (the prices can be found in the sidebar on Services). To avoid paying the cost, you can Subsist, using Society in a settlement or Survival in the wild. Experienced adventurers often have friends or patrons who take care of their living expenses. They might even have so many credits that their cost of living—even one of the more expensive options—becomes a pittance.
