【UCa】休整期（downtime） 前言

[柳深龍佐性]

休整期(downtime)

前言
在許多戰役中，玩家角色的活躍會在歷險歸來後暫時平靜了下來。你們賣掉戰利品、囤積藥水，或許也坐等法師抄寫卷軸。然而在兩段冒險之間，身處城鎮的你應該有更多事可做，你的角色可能打算去軍事訓練所受訓、創辦行會、修築祠堂神殿，或是訓練一隻新寵物等等。通常來說，你必須和其他玩家爭取GM的注意，好讓你能解釋你的角色打算做什麼並商討這該花多少時間。這裡介紹的的規則，清楚地列出了角色在休整期(downtime)中的一天能做什麼，讓你去著手計畫如何運用。

即便你不想利用本規則當個企業主在城中賺取額外收入或是脫手累贅的包袱，使用休整期系統還是有戰役上與扮演上的好處。
例如，你搭蓋或買下一間屋子，從此在冒險間你便有了一處舒適、私人的地方可供休息。多加幾間房間後，你可以輕易將一棟屋子轉變成冒險團隊的行動基地。當你施展傳送術至此時可以視為「非常熟悉」，並且如果該房子內設有你信仰之神的祭壇，那麼你可以將其當作回返真言的指標。

此外，如果你擁有一份產業，GM可以對其置入相關的戰役事件和故事獎勵。你可能在你的產業首次賺到1000gp或100個貨物時獲得經驗值的故事獎勵。如果你擁有一家餐廳，國王可能會聽聞了你著名的湯料配方後安排駕臨品嘗。如果你經營一家小酒館，它可能會成為那些希望沾沾你運氣和成功的年輕冒險者們的聚會之所。在這兩個案例下，GM可能會獎勵你這些事件帶來的影響，而不是經驗值。

當然，經營一棟建築或組織存在著風險。你的敵人可能會試圖燒毀你的酒館或進入你家攻擊你。如果你創立一個盜賊行會然後在某次離開幾個月後，一位風度優雅的遊蕩者可能接管了該行會並轉用來對付你。如果有一頭龍攻擊了城鎮，牠可能會毀了你的房子。在社群中投資你自己意味著你是他們的一份子——這有好有壞。GM應當記得利用投資物來豐富戰役，而不僅僅是利用它來作為攻擊你的角色或硬拉你進入冒險的一種方式。

休整期系統被設計將多數權力和非冒險任務的決策交到玩家手中。
這些規則假定讀者是想決定角色在休整期中作為的玩家。然而GM仍然負責管理整個戰役，並擁有決定該系統中什麼是能用的最終決定權；這些規則分擔了許多忙碌GM們的負擔。讓他們有更多時間能用在創建冒險與其他戰役內容。

休整期用語DOWNTIME TERMINOLOGY
本節說明了休整期系統的基本用語。這用到了現有的角色能力（如技能檢定和豁免檢定），熟悉的資源（如金幣），以及休整期系統訂立的新資源。總之，這讓你能完成各個任務。

建築物（Building）：建築物指的是你所建造或購買的實體建造物，如房屋，旅館，或祠廟。休整期系統允許你建造以各種專用房間組成的建築物。
建造點數（Build Points）：建造點數（BP）是構築王國規則中財富和生產力的單位。休整期系統通常不會使用BP，但如果你使用了構築王國規則，作為休整期的一部份，你可能需要以某些方式來消耗BP。 BP是物資、影響力、勞動力和威望較大規模的結合。
產業（Business）：產業意指那些替你賺取單種或多種資本的建築或組織。例如打鐵舖或是盜賊行會。
資本（Capital）：資本指在休整期中能運用的各式資源。資本的形式有建造點數（Build Points）、金幣（gp）、天數（days）、物資（goods）、影響力（Influence）、勞動力（Labor）以及魔力（Magic）。你可以將資本投入在各種休整期的活動上例如興建建築物、招募追隨者，或是重訓你的專長。如果有任何情況或事件導致你失去超過你所擁有量的資本，則你的資本減少至0－－這並不會免除你的債務。
天數（Day）：休整期系統不以小時、分鐘或是輪來度量時間，而是以天數做計算。大部分休整期的活動都需要你花費至少一天的時間。
追隨者（Followers）：追隨者是一種藉由領導力專長或其他方法獲得的勞動力類型。追隨者可以作為勞動力使用，但無法像資本般花用掉，因為他們只效忠於你並且不會在活動結束後就馬上離去。更多資訊請詳見80頁的驅使追隨者部份。
物資（Goods）：物資代表活動所需的實體物品，可以是永久性的設備或消耗品。以興建一棟旅館來說，物資就是用來搭蓋建築的材料、桌椅，以及你打算販售的食物和飲料。作為資本，物資是個抽象的概念，如此你便不需要隨時追蹤記錄獲取的東西如建築地基的石塊、牆壁的木板，或是菜單的食材，等等。物資有時候也代表自然資源（譬如肥沃的土壤或泉水），在這種情況下，你不是如字面上般將這些東西移動到特定的位置－－而是你花費資本收購了這些資源所在的位置。
金幣（Gold Pieces）：金幣（或gp）組成了角色擁有的金錢，例如藉由劫掠怪物或以工藝或專業檢定賺取。多數休整期活動需要你花費gp。
影響力（Influence）：影響力代表你能讓聚落中的其他人優遇你，或利用他們的技能完成各種事情（不是勞動，勞動涉及繁重的體力工作）的能力。這包括讓商人更改契約的內容，或說服政客幫你一點小忙。
勞動力（Labor）：勞動力代表運用工人來達成目標。包括僱請木匠興建建築物，僱傭打手勒索店主，僱用助手協助你製作物或照料創傷，或當你離開時僱請職員經營你的產業。
魔力（Magic）：魔力代表你所支配的魔法力量。部份活動，比方說醫治貧民窟中生病的農民或構建一個魔法圖書館，特別需要你花費魔力。
組織（Organization）：這是一個聽你差遣的團隊（例如一個教派、盜賊行會或傭兵團）。一個組織可以有（或是沒有）行動基地。休整期系統允許你招募由專業團隊架構成的組織（見第90頁的房間和團隊）。

獲取資本 GAINING CAPITAL
物資（goods）、影響力（Influence）、勞動力（Labor）和魔力（Magic）是休整期系統的骨幹。這幾種資本對多數的休整期活動是必須的。你可以藉由兩種方法之一來獲取資本：購買或賺取。

購買資本Purchasing Capital：獲取資本最簡單的方法就是購買它，可以透過購買原料、賄絡他人、繳交手續費、雇請工人等等。而物資、影響力、勞動力和魔力則有各自費額的購買gp，詳細列在〈表2-1：資本價值〉的購買成本中。如果你需要其中一種資本，你可以花費gp購得，如同購買一把+1長劍或花費gp雇用一名施法者施展移除詛咒一樣。舉例來說，每單位物資有20 gp的購買成本；如果你需要5點物資來修復你的酒館，你可以花費100 gp（5 x 20 gp）去購買必需的物資。購買資本很快但卻十分昂貴。

賺取資本Earning Capital：許多休整期活動——例如以〈工藝〉或〈專業〉技能謀生，或是透過經營旅店或酒館賺取單日利潤——能讓你賺取資本。賺取資本就像是以道具製作專長來製作魔法物品：你必須投入工作來生產物品，但是你只需支付物品的半價。如果休整期活動的描述說明該活動會產出資本，你便能藉由花費所需的天數和gp賺取到特定量額的資本；購買資本的gp成本為普通價格的一半，詳見〈表2-1〉的購買成本。例如，每1點影響力有15 gp的賺取成本，所以如果你想藉由在城裡進行社交活動產生3點的影響力，那麼你必須花費一天的休整期，並花費45 gp（3×15 gp）來賺取那3點的影響力。賺取資本較為費時，但比起直接購買要來的便宜許多。追踪記錄你賺得的資本比較容易，因為只要你賺到你便付出了；否則，你也需要記錄你還未賺得的資本（因為你還沒有為它支付gp）。
譯註：最後一句覺得怪怪的，煩請指證

Table 2–1：資本價值

資本	購買成本	賺取成本
物資	20 gp	10 gp
影響力	30 gp	15 gp
勞動力	20 gp	10 gp
魔力	100 gp	50 gp

本章假設你使用休整期系統以「賺取」代替「購買」來獲取資本，並且在本章出現的所有gp數值都屬於賺取成本。
如果你不想使用休整期系統賺取資本（還有像取得寶藏獎勵般獲得資本獎勵等），或是你想藉花費金幣快速購得某些東西的話，記得將表格中的gp數值乘2倍換算成物品或服務的購買成本。

想像購買成本就像某天有個陌生人來到鎮上並砸了一大筆錢打算做件事，這的確可行，但是當地人往往會在受雇時敲個竹槓並對眼前的炫富行為感到嫌惡。賺取資本則是某人為了完成某個目的與當地人一塊兒工作並成為社群的一份子，這需要花比較長的時間，但當地人會提供公道的價格並讚賞那人的老實和謙遜。

當你購買或賺取資本時，你可以立即將其投入你所選擇的休整期活動，或是保存起來以供之後使用（本章後面將深入說明）。由於資本是個抽象的概念，工作的細節由你和GM自行決定，然而就扮演上，你應該做出最合乎該角色和戰役的解釋。

非熟練工作：你可以花費一天在聚落賺取5 sp（一般來說，未受訓的勞動者或助手每天能賺1 sp，但休整期系統假設你的職業能力使你優於一般的勞動者，能在一天中賺取更多錢）。另外，你可以選擇改為賺取1點物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力。無論哪一種都不需要任何特定的知識或技能檢定。

例如：馬克的角色蓋了一棟房子，他打算取得1點勞動力並將之用在房子的施工需求上。他決定使用1天的休整期，並支付10 gp賺取勞動力點數，而不是直接支付20 gp買下。他立刻將這1點勞動力用在房屋的施工需求上。在扮演上，馬克描述他花了一天挖掘房子的地基，並花了10 gp買了堆砌地基所需的工具和建材。

例如：勞菈的角色計畫蓋一間鐵匠鋪，這需要花費1點勞動力。她使用決定1天的休整期並支付10 gp賺取1點的勞動力，但保存起來待用。由於做建築工作不符合她的角色，勞菈解釋她的角色花了一天為答應幫她建造鐵匠鋪的當地石匠送貨。
資金會於未來的建設工作中投入，但為了便於記錄，勞菈現在就先支付了。她不必記載勞菈這1點勞動力為“來自一個石匠的1點勞動力”，因為勞動力的實際類型只是扮演上的需求。休整期的活動不會需要特定的勞動力。

熟練工作：如果你在技能上擁有受訓等級，你可以在聚落花1天時間工作賺取比你做非熟練工作時更多的資金。注意，此方法包括透過合法和非法的手段來賺取資本－－例如，一整天用〈巧手〉賺錢可以是整日當街頭魔術師表演或是當扒手一整天。選擇一種資本（物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力）或gp，並嘗試技能檢定。你可以在該檢定中取10。如果你選擇gp，將你的檢定結果除以10，以決定當天你賺得多少gp。例如，如果你的檢定結果是16，除以10後即當天你賺得1 gp及6 sp（四捨五入到最接近的銀幣量）。

如果你選擇了物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力，請參照下表來看你賺取了多少該類型的資本。你必須支付賺取成本來購買該資本，但如果你買不起全部或是不需要超過一定額度，你可以選擇賺取比你的檢定結果還要少的資本。詳見〈表2-1：資本價值〉中各類型資本的賺取成本。

	資本賺取量＊
技能檢定結果	(物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力)
10	1
20	2
30	3
40	4

*當檢定結果超過40每10點，你便額外再多賺取1點的資本。


如果你使用這個選項賺取物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力，你所使用的技能必須能適用於希望賺取的資本類型；如果GM認為它不適用，使用該技能會使產出的資本量減半（最小值為1）。例如，〈表演〉也許能賺取到你作為一個音樂家的影響力，但卻無益於賺取勞動力。GM應該在你嘗試技能檢定前告知你這點。在一般情況下，各類型資本適用的技能如下。

物資(Goods)：〈估價〉、〈唬弄〉、〈工藝〉、〈交涉〉、〈解除裝置〉、〈馴養動物〉、〈威嚇〉、〈知識〉（地下城、工程、地理、歷史、地方、自然、貴族、宗教）、〈專業〉、〈巧手〉、〈隱匿〉。
影響力(Influence)：〈估價〉、〈唬弄〉、〈工藝〉、〈交涉〉、〈馴養動物〉、〈醫療〉、〈威嚇〉、〈知識〉（任何知識），〈語言學〉、〈表演〉、〈專業〉、〈騎術〉。
勞動力(Labor)：〈唬弄〉、〈攀爬〉、〈工藝〉、〈交涉〉、〈馴養動物〉、〈威嚇〉、〈知識〉（地方）、〈專業〉、〈騎術〉、〈野外求生〉、〈游泳〉。
魔力(Magic)：〈估價〉、〈工藝〉、〈交涉〉、〈醫療〉、〈知識〉（神秘、地下城、自然、界域、宗教），〈語言學〉、〈專業〉、〈法術辨識〉、〈使用魔法裝置〉。

對特定類型的資本而言，技能的價值會因身處的聚落而有所改變。例如，在具有嚴肅苦幹工作傳統的邊境聚落以〈表演：喜劇〉進行一天的幽默表演可能無法為你賺得多少資本，但用〈知識：歷史〉或〈表演：演講〉以該城市的英雄進行一場激勵人心的公開演說卻可能辦得到。GM應該在你嘗試檢定之前告訴你，或是讓你透過一個DC15的〈知識：地方〉或〈察言觀色〉檢定評估居民的喜好。

職業能力Class Abilities：你可以運用職業能力在聚落提供服務來賺取資本。例如，戰士可以指導貴族子弟劍術，牧師可以治療居民等等。選擇一項資本（物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力）或gp，嘗試一次檢定（1d20  + 角色等級 + 最高的能力調整值 – 5）你可以在此次檢定中取10。將此檢定當作熟練工作的技能檢定結果。運用職業能力的成效低於進行熟練工作，這反映了一個事實：多數職業能力對群體並沒有太多直接的貢獻。和熟練工作相比，GM可以決定你的能力是”不那麼適用的”並減少一半的賺取量。

購買Purchases：比起進行檢定賺取資本，如果你更傾向花錢去買的話，可以使用〈表2-1：資本價值〉中列出的價格。儘管你不能賣掉資本，你卻可以將之視同為其標列的購買成本般使用它， 用來支付任何適用的休整期活動所需的gp。例如，當你配製一瓶藥水時，你可以花費1點魔力當作製造藥水所需的材料成本，就如同該點等於100 gp一樣。

也許你有許多gp或資本能在聚落中恣意揮霍，但聚落的規模會限制你每天所能運用的量額。

報償Rewards：使用休整期系統的GM可以獎勵你各種資本作為戰利品、冒險獎勵、承繼的遺產或自然資源。例如，如果你的隊伍打敗了一幫走私犯，你們最後獲得的遭遇寶藏可能會比一般的寶藏多了5點物資。當從一個大地精部落解放一群農民後，GM可以決定這些重獲自由的俘虜雖然無力掏錢答謝但允諾提供3點的勞動力感謝你們的營救。你的角色也許從年邁的親族那裏繼承了一棟搖搖欲墜的危樓，你可以將之作為行動基地或變賣它。當你們掃蕩了狗頭人的聚落後，你可能發現了一處鐵礦脈——在物資、勞動力以及或者影響力的投資後——可以按月替你生產gp或物資。來自自然資源的獎勵方面，GM可以判定你不需要支付賺取成本就能獲得資本。

報酬的種類皆由GM決定。請記住，聚落的政府往往有權決定無主財產的依歸。例如，即便你殺死了整棟建築的全部住戶，也不代表你就能主張這棟建築歸你所有。

交換資本 Converting Capital
你可以用3點物資、勞動力、影響力或魔力交換1點的物資、勞動力或影響力。在特定環境下，GM可以允許你以2比1的比率交換這些資源，而不是正常的3比1。你可以用5點的物資、勞動力或影響力交換1點的魔力。

移動資本 Moving Capital
某些類型的資本——尤其是影響力——對特定的聚落或地區可能是當地特有的，其他類型的資本可能可以在任何地區使用，不過GM可以規定將物資或勞動力運送至他處在使用前會出現延遲。

花費限制 Spending Limits
聚落的人口限制了你一天能獲得多少協助。以下數字代表了在聚落你每天能利用多少物資、影響力和勞動力的限制。即使你名下有許多可自由處置的物資和勞動力，但小型的聚落可能只能騰出寥寥數人將你的資本用來實現你的計畫。

	每日花費限制
聚落	(物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力)
村莊（Thorp）	2
村落（Hamlet）	4
村鎮（Village）	10
小城鎮（Small town）	15
大城鎮（Large town）	25
小城市（Small city）	35
大城市（Large city）	50
都會（Metropolis）	65

驅使追隨者 Using Followers
領導力專長能帶給你追隨者－－會儘可能協助你的效忠之人。在休整期系統，追隨者會提供額外的影響力和勞動力無償地支援你的活動。這會使你花費的影響力或勞動力增加50%的效果。在休整期活動進行的聚落中，每有2名追隨者就可增加最多1點的影響力或勞動力。

例如：艾莉絲的角色擁有10點領導力，並且在Sandpoint有4名追隨者，當她在Sandpoint進行休整期活動時她的追隨者可以提供最多2點（4的二分之ㄧ）的影響力或勞動力。如果艾莉絲花費2點影響力或勞動力，則會增加2X50%變成3點。如果她花費6點影響力或勞動力，則會增加成8點，因為她的4名追隨者最多只能提供2點。

在特殊環境下，GM有權規定追隨者提供比正常的50%更少的加值。例如，如果你的追隨者住在不同的聚落並且必須旅跡至你的所在地，但盜匪的猖獗令旅途充滿凶險或是他們已經離家一星期以上，那麼GM可以決定你的追隨者對影響力或勞動力的增加量只有每3人1點或每4人1點。你的追隨者雖然效忠於你，但他們並不是奴隸況且只會在不影響正常生活的前提下提供這些協助。

休整期的各階段 DOWNTIME PHASES
GM會告訴你何時是休整期以及休整期中有多少天可以運用。在歷經長遠的冒險回到城鎮之後，如果GM說在你必須前往首都參加王子的加冕典禮前有10天的時間，代表你可以將這十天用來進行休整期活動。

你們通常在休整期session的開始和結束時會有一個合理的控制量。在GM的同意下，你們能一進入聚落就開始休整期session並在離開時結束它。你或你的GM可能會設計在每次休整期session你只能進行一項休整期活動，那麼GM就可能會決定你不能接連開始和結束多個休整期session避免讓你能進行多次休整期活動。
譯註：求session的譯名，不然可能得改掉downtime的「休整期」譯名。

為了基本補給和休息的快速往返看似不需要休整期session。如果你沒有計畫做任何需要物資、影響力、勞動力、魔力或花費休整期天數的事情的話，你便不必進行休整期session。

休整期session分為以下四個階段，四者構成休整期的1天：

階段1－維護：支付用來維護已完工的建築和組織的相關成本。

階段2－活動：進行休整期活動，如搭蓋建築物、籌建組織或重訓。

階段3－收益：確定建築、組織以及其它休整期活動所產出的資本。並出售你不想要的資產。

階段4－事件：檢視是否有任何不尋常的事件發生。有些是有益的，例如知名的訪客或好運氣。有些則是有害的，例如火災或疫病。

這些階段都遵照上述的順序進行。每位玩家可以每天開始一項新的休整期活動。哪個玩家先進行並沒有差別，你們可以選擇按照先攻順序，或從GM左手邊的玩家開始順時鐘進行，或是其它只要能讓隊伍中的各玩家每天都能進行一輪的方法都可以。

維護階段 Upkeep Phase
如果你從來沒有於目前所在的聚落進行過任何休整期活動，跳過這個階段並繼續進行活動階段。

在維護階段，調整你的資本或是事件發生前幾天的其它遊戲數據（無論那幾天是否用在休整期活動或僅單純度日）。例如，如果你有一位負責酒館經營的管理人，你就必須支付她的工資。如果你想重訓你擁有的專長（請參閱第188頁的重訓）並分期支付，則必須支付該繳付的分期款。

步驟1－加總成本：這些費用包括用於你的建築、組織和其它之前自最近一次休整期session以來累計的休整期活動的發展或常規性費用。這些費用大部分都是每天產生，不論你是否有在聚落花費休整期天數。

步驟2－支付成本：如果你不能支付你所產生的成本（無論是用自己的資金或向另一名角色借貸），你便無法獲得那些休整期活動的好處，直到有一天你支付了。

步驟3－決定資本耗損：當你離開聚落每7天（無論是休整期或正常度日），就減少你擁有的物資、影響力、勞動力和魔力各1點（最低為0）。此減少代表了損壞腐爛、遭竊、隊友挪用或有較高的優先權，工人找了其它工作，等等。

步驟4－決定產業耗損：產業耗損是因為你的不在場令員工士氣低落所造成的損失。如果建築物不會產出資本（因此不能算是產業），跳過步驟4。如果沒有任何職員揣測你不在場的事，那就沒有叛變的機會。然而，GM可能會決定，要是你離開很長一段時間，那麼投機的盜匪、貧民、怪物、動物或害蟲就很有可能會進入那荒廢的建築，如果你想再次使用該建築，那你就需要清除他們。

由於探險是件危險的工作，當你離開一個聚落30天以上，你就可能有失去產業控制權的風險，好比說旗下的員工開始懷疑你是否已經死了。當你歸返，你必須進行一次領導力檢定（1D20+領導力數值）對抗DC = 上次與該產業接觸至今的天數-10（所以如果你離開了30天，DC便是20）。想和產業有所聯繫，需要親自造訪、或派遣一位夠格代表你名義的代理人訪問它（如部屬cohort或管理人manager；見第88頁），或發送正式的信函或魔法通訊（如託夢法Dream，短訊術sending或風訊術whispering wind）;這麼做能使你的離開天數歸零。

如果成功通過此領導力檢定，那麼該產業仍然由你所掌控。對每一個離開至少30天的產業，你每天都必須不斷進行此領導力檢定，直到你再次與其聯繫。
如果你失敗了，那麼那些營運產業的人，在你不在場的情況下將不再承認你是其雇主或領袖，並且你無法從該產業產出任何資本。一旦你重新建立起聯繫，你可能得在每天的維護階段嘗試一次領導力檢定（DC和你當初檢定失敗時相同）取回產業的所有權。如果你成功了，企業再度歸你所有並再度開始產出收益（雖然在你重獲控制權後，你不會獲得任何自你離開至今所產生的收益）。

如果你失去了產業的控制權，你便不用處理與之相關的事件。不過，如果你插手干預與之相關的不利事件，並防止事件發生或以其它方式改變其影響（譬如逮獲賊匪，並歸還他們偷走的物資），你在你取回該產業所有權的領導力檢定中獲得+5加值。此加值會在你成功取回或放棄產業所有權時消失。如果你介入多個發生在單一產業的不利事件，這些加值將會累加。

例如：勞菈的角色有9點物資、10點影響力，和位於Sandpoint的7點勞動力，她還擁有一家商店、一間酒館，以及一棟小屋。

經過40天遠離Sandpoint的冒險（在這期間，她並沒有試圖保持與該地居民的接觸），她回到鎮上。她沒有維持建築物所需的成本，所以她跳過步驟1和步驟2。由於她離開了5個星期，在步驟3中，她每個類型的休整期資本都減少5點，所以她現在只有4點物資，5點影響力，以及2點位於Sandpoint的勞動力。

因為她離開了至少30天，在步驟4中她必須嘗試領導力檢定以留住留商店和酒館的控制權；此檢定的DC為30（離開了40天 - 10）。她通過酒館的檢定，但店鋪的檢定卻失敗了，所以她失去了店鋪的控制權。她可以在每天的維護階段進行領導力檢定嘗試取回商店。因為她的房屋不會產出資本，所以她不必為她的房子進行領導力檢定，但GM決定有群蝙蝠在閣樓上做了個窩，勞菈的人物如果想要一夜的安眠就必須設法擺脫這些害蟲。

活動階段Activity Phase
在活動階段，你能宣告新的或繼續現有的休整期活動。在這個階段發生的活動有諸如開始興建一座新的建築物、繼續建設現有建築物、籌組一個新組織、製造魔法物品，又或是重訓技能點數或一項專長等等。你也可以將此階段用來進行不需要休整期系統的行動。

步驟1－進行自由活動：你可以從事任何不需要休整期天數的活動，如購買裝備、變賣多餘的的魔法物品，還有以物易物。

步驟2－繼續進行中的休整期活動：你的首要任務是繼續需要1天以上天數的休整期活動。根據該活動的具體需求，中斷該活動可能會毀了你所取得的所有進展。有些活動可能只需要你一點點注意力並仍可允許你在這個階段執行其他休整期活動。

步驟3－開始新的休整期活動：如果你沒有要繼續之前的休整期活動，或是正在繼續一個不會限制你開始新活動的休整期活動，你就可以開始一個新的休整期活動。第84頁開始是休整期活動的清單。

例如：派崔克的角色製作一把火球魔杖有一陣子了，卻不得不中斷那只差一點點就完工的製程，投身一段無法讓他有時間加工物品的短期冒險。當他回到鎮上並開始休整期session，他在步驟1中賣掉一些戰利品（沒使用任何休整期天數），然後進行步驟2。在步驟2，他決定花費休整期完成魔杖的製作工作，這花了他1天的休整期。

隔天，他沒有要繼續的休整期活動，所以他進行至步驟3並花費影響力招收一名學徒法師。

收益階段 Income Phase
在收益階段，你從休整期活動和你控制的建築與組織中產出了資本。

步驟1－確定建築收益：對聚落中在你名下能產生收益和提供效益的建築各進行一次資本檢定（見第92頁的盈利部分）。將所有的檢定結果加總再除以10，以決定你一天賺取了多少gp。例如，如果你的結果總和是47，除以10後，你的收益就是4 gp和7 sp。

如果你離開了許多天，你離開的每一天都要進行一次資本檢定（如果檢定次數太過繁瑣，這些檢定可以取10）。你離開聚落每過7天（無論是不是休整期），賺取的gp總量就減少7 gp並且物資、影響力、勞動力和魔力也各減少1點（最低至0）。將剩下的資本記錄在你的角色卡或休整期記錄表。

如果你在維護階段無法支付建築物的成本，或因為耗損失去建築物的控制權的話，你便不能獲取該建築物的收益。

步驟2－確定組織收益：這很像第1步，但卻是從組織而不是建築物。

步驟3－確定其他收益：如果你的任何其他休整期活動產出了收益（好比說使用技能賺取資本），你在此步驟中獲取該收益。

步驟4－放棄資產：如果你想無償地擺脫某棟建築物或某個組織，你可以在這一步放棄它。你不再是該建築物或組織的所有者，而且不再從它獲得任何好處，但你也不再有處理相關事件的義務。不同於失去建築物或組織是因為耗損，此損失是自動發生，你不能試圖取回所有權。
.
步驟5－出售資產：如果你希望出售建築物或組織，你可以在本步驟中這麼做。你可以用購買或創建成本的一半（在建築成本中列出的GP或物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力）出售建築物或組織。有75％的機率會花你3D6天來找到一位買家。這種延遲並不需要你花費任何休整期天數。你可以縮短這一延遲，每花費1點影響力能減少1D6天（最低0天）。你獲得銷售結束後所得的款項。

你可以選擇只賣出建築物的部分房間，讓你繼續控制剩下的房間。當你進行銷售時，建築物銷售所需的任何改動都包含在內。
譯註：這句總覺得哪裡怪怪的

出售組織是一個從你的前任雇員回收資產的過程，好比說你提供給守衛隊的裝甲或武器。如同出售建築物，你可以選擇只清算組織的部分團隊，例如將盜賊行會中的扒手和助手團隊自其抽離。

例如：勞菈準備好確定角色的建築在她遠離冒險的這陣子賺了多少。她的房子不會產出資本，而她那已變節的商店也不會，所以在步驟1，她只須處理來自她酒館的收益。酒館在gp的資本檢定上有+15的調整值。離開40天後，勞菈沒有進行40次各別的檢定，她選擇取10，使她每個檢定結果為25，代表每天一共賺取2 gp和5 sp，於是乘以40就得到100 gp。由於她有5週的時間不在，必須減少5×7 gp（35 gp），所以她剩下65 gp的收入，並將之記錄在她的角色卡或休整期記錄表。

她名下沒有組織，所以她跳過步驟2。而她在休整期session也沒有其他活動會產出收益，所以她跳過步驟3。她並不想放棄或賣掉房子或酒館，並計劃在之後的維護階段，嘗試奪回變節店鋪的控制權，所以她決定不放棄或出售任何資產，跳過步驟4和5。

事件階段 Event Phase
在事件階段，一個隨機事件可能會影響你的休整期。這可能會是一個通用事件，也可能會是針對特定建築或組織的相關事件。

在一個聚落中，休整期每天有20％的機率發生事件，然後GM再決定（通常是隨機的）是哪一座PC控制的建築物受到影響。如果過去休整期的日子裡沒有事件發生，每多一天，發生事件的機率就增加5％（最高95％）。為了方便，GM可能只會在你身處聚落時才增加事件發生和事件擲骰的機率，因為在處理角色長期不在時發生的事件上會產生許多額外的麻煩記錄。每次當休整期事件發生時，每天發生事件的機率會再度下降到20％。詳見休整期事件的部分，以確定有什麼樣的事件發生。

有些事件可以用一個檢定使之無效、抵銷或終止。其它則需要你去完成一場冒險或是以非休整期規則的方式去處理問題－－實際上，它們包含了GM往休整期中添加些許刺激和不確定性的方式。

此外，GM可能會讓專屬於冒險任務或戰役劇情的事件在休整期發生。

例如：勞菈的角色在sandpoint花費5天的休整期天數。因為勞菈在當地擁有建築物，休整期的每天GM都根據事件表擲骰，開始的第一天有20％的機會，之後每天增加5％。在第四天（有35％的事件發生率），GM骰出了事件發生－－酒吧鬥毆！GM決定讓這個事件在當勞菈的角色身處酒館時發生，並給她機會用她的言語或拳頭來解決麻煩。因為發生了事件，隔天發生事件的機率將重置回20％。

劇透 -   :

In many campaigns, returning to town after an adventure is a lull in your character's activity. You sell loot, stock up on potions, and perhaps wait around for the wizard to scribe some scrolls. However, there is much more you can do in town in between adventures—your character might want to practice with a military school, start a guild, build a temple, train a new pet, and so on. Normally you and the other PCs would have to compete for the GM's attention so you can explain what your characters want to do and haggle over how much time that should take. With the rules presented here, what you can do with a day of downtime is clearly spelled out, allowing you to get on with your plans.

Even if you don't want to use the rules to earn extra gold or throw your weight around in town as a business owner, there are campaign and roleplaying benefits for using the downtime system. For example, if you build or buy a house, you have a comfortable, private place to rest between adventures. By adding a few more rooms, you can easily convert a house into a base of operations for your adventuring party; it would count as "very familiar" for the purpose of your teleport spells, and if it includes an altar to your deity, you can use it as the destination for a word of recall.

Additionally, if you have a business, the GM can insert campaign events and story awards tied to it. You might earn XP as a story award when your business earns its first 1,000 gp or first 100 points of Goods. If you own a restaurant, the king might hear about your famous soup recipe and arrange a visit to sample it. If you have a tavern, it could become a hangout for young adventurers hoping your luck and success rub off on them. In either case, the GM may award you Influence instead of XP for these events.

Of course, having a building or organization has its risks. Your enemies might try to burn down your tavern or attack you at your home. If you start a thieves' guild and are away for months at a time, a personable rogue might take over the guild and turn it against you. If a dragon attacks the town, it could destroy your house. Investing yourself in a community means you're part of it—for good or ill. The GM should remember to use that investment to enrich the campaign, not just exploit it as a way to attack your character or strong-arm you into adventures.

The downtime system is designed to put much of the power and decision making for non-adventuring tasks in the hands of the players. These rules assume the reader is a player making decisions about what his character does during downtime. However, the GM is still in charge of the campaign and the final judge of what is possible using this system; these rules simply take much of the burden away from busy GMs, allowing them more time to work on creating adventures and other campaign issues.

Overview
The key parts of the downtime rules that you'll be referencing often are the following:

• Explanation of the downtime terminology used throughout this section.
• Earning downtime capital such as Goods, Influence, and Labor.
• The phase sequence for using downtime.
• The kinds of activities you can do with this system.
• Constructing rooms, the building blocks of buildings such as guildhalls or temples, and recruiting teams such as apprentices and guards.
• Example buildings constructed out of rooms, and example organizations built out of teams.
• Positive and negative events that can occur during downtime.
• Downtime tracking sheet.

Downtime Terminology
This section explains the basic game terms for the downtime system. It uses existing character abilities (such as skill checks and saving throws), familiar resources (such as gold pieces), and new resources specific to the downtime system. Together, these allow you to accomplish tasks.

Building: A building is a physical structure you construct or purchase, such as a house, inn, or temple. The downtime system allows you to construct buildings out of specialized rooms.

Build Points: A build point (BP) is a unit of wealth and productivity used in the kingdom-building rules. The downtime system doesn't normally use BP, but if you are using the kingdom-building rules, you may have ways to spend BP as part of your downtime. BP are a larger-scale combination of Goods, Influence, Labor, and Prestige.

Business: A business is a building or organization that earns you one or more kinds of capital, such as a blacksmith's shop or thieves' guild.

Capital: Capital is any sort of resource you can spend as part of downtime. The various types of capital are build points, gp, days, Goods, Influence, Labor, and Magic. You can spend capital on various downtime activities such as constructing buildings, recruiting followers, and retraining your feats. If any situation or event causes you to lose more capital than you have, your capital is reduced to 0—you can't go into debt.

Day: The downtime system measures time in days rather than hours, minutes, or rounds. Most downtime activities require you to spend at least 1 day on the activity.

Followers: Followers are a type of Labor gained from the Leadership feat or other methods. Followers can be used like Labor, but aren't expended like capital because they are loyal to you and don't leave as soon as an activity is completed. For more information, see Using Followers on page 80.

Goods: Goods represent physical items necessary for an activity, which can be permanent fixtures or consumable items. For building an inn, Goods are the materials used to build the structure, the tables and chairs, and the food and beverages you plan to sell. Goods as capital are an abstraction so that you don't need to keep track of gathering things like stones for a building's foundation, timber for the walls, ingredients for the menu, and so on. Goods might also represent natural resources (such as fertile soil or a spring), in which case you're not literally moving these items to a specific location—instead, you're spending capital to acquire a location with those resources.

Gold Pieces: Gold pieces (or gp) constitute the normal money your character has, such as from looting monsters or earning a living with Craft or Profession checks. Many downtime activities require you to spend gp.

Influence: Influence represents your ability to get other people in the settlement to perform favors for you or use their skills to accomplish things (as opposed to Labor, which involves hard physical work). This includes getting a merchant to change the terms of a contract, or convincing a politician to do you a favor.

Labor: Labor represents using workers to accomplish tasks. This includes hiring carpenters to construct a building, hiring thugs to extort shopkeepers, using assistants to help you craft items or tend injuries, or hiring employees to run your business while you're away.

Magic: Magic represents magical power at your disposal. Some activities, such as healing sick peasants in the slums or constructing a magical library, specifically require you to spend Magic.

Organization: This is a group of people who do what you say (such as a cult, thieves' guild, or mercenary company). An organization may or may not have a base of operations. The downtime system allows you to recruit organizations made up of specialized teams (see Rooms and Teams on page 90).

Gaining Capital
Goods, Influence, Labor, and Magic are the backbone of the downtime system. These types of capital are necessary for completing many downtime activities. You can gain such capital in one of two ways: by purchasing it or by earning it.

Purchasing Capital: The easiest way to gain capital is to purchase it by buying materials, bribing people, paying administrative fees, hiring workers, and so on. Goods, Influence, Labor, and Magic each have a specific gp value for this method, listed in the Purchased Cost column of the table below. If you need one of these types of capital, you can spend gp to get it, just like buying a +1 sword or hiring a spellcaster to cast remove curse costs you gp. For example, Goods have a Purchased Cost of 20 gp each; if you need to spend 5 points of Goods to repair your tavern, you can spend 100 gp (5 × 20 gp) to purchase the necessary Goods. Purchasing capital is fast, but expensive.

Earning Capital: Many downtime activities, such as doing mundane work with a Craft or Profession skill or gaining the day-to-day profits for running an inn or tavern, allow you to earn capital. Earning capital is like using an item crafting feat to create a magic item: You have to put in some work to make the item, but you pay only half the normal price for it. If a downtime activity's description says it generates capital, you can earn that amount of capital by spending the required amount of downtime and gp on it; the gp cost for the capital is half the normal cost, as listed in the Earned Cost column in the table below. For example, Influence has an Earned Cost of 15 gp per point, so if you want to socialize in town to generate 3 points of Influence, you must use a day of downtime and spend 45 gp (3 × 15 gp) to earn those 3 points of Influence. Earning capital takes longer, but is much cheaper than just buying it outright. It is easier to keep track of your earned capital if you pay for it as soon as you earn it; otherwise, you also need to track earned capital you don't yet have (because you haven't paid gp for it yet).

Capital Values Capital   Purchased Cost   Earned Cost
Goods   20 gp   10 gp
Influence   30 gp   15 gp
Labor   20 gp   10 gp
Magic   100 gp   50 gp

This section assumes you are using the downtime system to earn capital rather than purchasing it, and all gp values in this chapter are based on the Earned Cost. If you aren't using the downtime system to earn capital (and are instead awarded capital as a treasure reward, for example), or you want to purchase something quickly by spending gold pieces, remember to double the listed gp value to find the Purchased Cost of the item or service.

Think of purchasing capital as a stranger coming to town and throwing lots of money around to make things happen. It's effective, but the locals are inclined to overcharge for their work and may resent the obvious display of wealth. Earning capital is a person working with the locals and trying to be a part of the community in order to get things done. It takes longer, but the locals give a fair price and appreciate the person's honest dealings and lack of arrogance.

When you purchase or earn capital, you may either immediately apply it toward a downtime activity of your choice or save it for later (this is explained more over the rest of this chapter). As capital is an abstraction, the details of the work are up to you and the GM to decide—for roleplaying purposes, you should explain it however is most appropriate for your character and campaign.

Unskilled Work: You may spend 1 day working in a settlement to earn 5 sp. (Normally, an untrained laborer or assistant earns 1 sp per day, but the downtime system assumes your class abilities mean you are a cut above a typical unskilled laborer and are able to earn more from a day's work.) Alternatively, you can choose to instead earn 1 point of Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic. Neither approach requires any particular knowledge or skill check.

Example: Mark's character is constructing a house, and he wants to acquire 1 point of Labor, which he plans to spend on the house's construction requirements. He decides to use 1 day of downtime and pay 10 gp to earn the point of Labor, instead of paying 20 gp to purchase it outright. He immediately spends this 1 point of Labor on the construction requirements of the house. For roleplaying purposes, Mark states that he used the day to dig a foundation for his house, and spent the 10 gp on the tools and raw materials he needed to start the foundation.

Example: Laura's character plans to build a blacksmith's shop, and needs 1 point of Labor. She decides to use 1 day of downtime and pay 10 gp to earn the 1 point of Labor, but saves it for later use. Since construction work is out of character for him, Laura explains that her character spent the day making deliveries for a local mason, who in turn promised to help her build her blacksmith's shop. The gold cost goes toward this future construction, but for ease of tracking, Laura pays for it now. She doesn't have to keep track of this 1 point of Labor as "1 point of Labor from a mason," since the exact nature of Labor matters only for roleplaying purposes. None of the downtime activities require specific kinds of labor.

Skilled Work: If you have ranks in a useful skill, you can spend 1 day working in a settlement to earn more capital than you would doing unskilled work. Note that this method includes both legal and illegal means of earning capital—for example, a day spent using Sleight of Hand to earn money could be a day spent performing as a street magician or a day spent pickpocketing.

Choose either one type of capital (Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic) or gp, and attempt a skill check. You can take 10 on this check.

If you chose gp, divide the result of your check by 10 to determine how many gp you earn that day. For example, if your check result is a 16, dividing it by 10 earns you 1 gp and 6 sp that day (round to the nearest silver).

If you chose Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic, consult the following table to see how much of that type of capital you earn. You must pay the Earned Cost to buy this capital, although if you can't afford to buy all of it or don't need more than a certain amount, you can choose to earn less capital than your check indicates. See the Capital Values table for the Earned Cost of each type of capital.
Skill Check Result   Capital Earned*
(Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic)
10   1
20   2
30   3
40   4
* For every 10 points of your check result after 40, you earn an additional capital.

If you are using this option to earn Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic, the skill you're using must be suitable for earning the chosen type of capital; if the GM deems it is not, using that skill reduces the amount generated by half (minimum 1). For example, Perform might earn you Influence as a musician, but it's not as useful for earning Labor. The GM should inform you of this before you attempt the skill check. In general, the appropriate skills for each type of capital are as follows.

Goods: Appraise, Bluff, Craft, Diplomacy, Disable Device, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Knowledge (dungeoneering, engineering, geography, history, local, nature, nobility, religion), Profession, Sleight of Hand, Stealth.

Influence: Appraise, Bluff, Craft, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Linguistics, Perform, Profession, Ride.

Labor: Bluff, Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Knowledge (local), Profession, Ride, Survival, Swim.

Magic: Appraise, Craft, Diplomacy, Heal, Knowledge (arcana, dungeoneering, nature, planes, religion), Linguistics, Profession, Spellcraft, Use Magic Device.

The value of a particular skill for a given type of capital can vary from settlement to settlement. For example, in a frontier settlement with a tradition of serious hard work, a day of humorous performances using Perform (comedy) might not earn you much capital, but inspirational public speeches about the city's heroes using Knowledge (history) or Perform (oratory) could. The GM should tell you this before you attempt the skill check, or allow you to assess the inhabitants' preferences with a successful DC 15 Knowledge (local) or Sense Motive check.

Class Abilities: You can use a class ability to provide a service in the settlement to earn capital. For example, a fighter could train a noble's child in swordplay, a cleric could heal townsfolk, and so on. Choose either one type of capital (Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic) or gp, and attempt a check (1d20 + your character level + your highest ability modifier — 5). You may take 10 on this check. Treat this check as your skill check result for using skilled work.

Using class abilities is less efficient than performing skilled work; this represents the fact that many classes' abilities don't have much direct benefit to a community. As with skilled work, the GM may rule that your abilities are unsuitable and reduce the amount earned by half.

Purchases: If you would rather spend gold than attempt checks to earn other types of capital, use the values listed in the Purchased Cost column of the Capital Values table. Although you can't sell capital, you can use it for its listed Purchased Cost as payment toward any applicable downtime activity that requires you to spend gp. For example, if you are brewing a potion, you can spend 1 point of Magic toward the cost of the materials needed to make the potion as if that point were equal to 100 gp.

Although you may have a lot of gp or other capital to throw around in a settlement, the settlement's size limits how much you can accomplish per day.

Rewards: A GM using the downtime system might award you various types of capital as monster loot, adventure rewards, inheritance, or natural resources. For example, if your party defeats a gang of smugglers, your treasure for the final encounter could include 5 points of Goods in addition to conventional treasure. After freeing a group of peasants from a hobgoblin tribe, the GM might decide that the freed prisoners have no money to give you as a reward but instead promise you 3 points of Labor as thanks for saving them. Your character could inherit a ramshackle house from an old relative, which you can use as a base of operations or sell for gold. After clearing out a kobold warren, you might discover a vein of iron ore that (after an investment of Goods, Labor, and perhaps Influence) can generate gp or Goods for you on a monthly basis. Depending on the nature of the reward, the GM might decide that you don't need to pay the Earned Cost to get capital acquired in this way.

These kinds of rewards are always decided by the GM. Keep in mind that a settlement's government usually has jurisdiction over what happens to an abandoned property. For example, just because you kill all the cultists using a building as their secret lair doesn't mean you can claim that building as your own.
Converting Capital

You can trade 3 points of Goods, Labor, Influence, or Magic for 1 point of Goods, Labor, or Influence. Under certain circumstances, the GM may allow you to trade these resources at a 2-for-1 rate rather than the normal 3-for-1. You can trade 5 points of Goods, Labor, or Influence for 1 point of Magic.
Moving Capital

Some types of capital—in particular Influence—might be specific to a particular settlement or region. Other types may be used at any settlement, though the GM might rule that there is a delay in transporting Goods or Labor to a new location before you can spend it there.
Spending Limits

The population of a settlement limits how much help you can get on a given day. The following numbers represent the limit of how much Goods, Influence, and Labor you can utilize in settlement each day. Even if you have a lot of Goods and Labor at your disposal from favors and such, a tiny settlement might have only a few hands to spare to turn that capital into finished projects.
Settlement   Spending Limit Per Day
(Goods, Influence, or Labor)
Thorp   2
Hamlet   4
Village   10
Small town   15
Large town   25
Small city   35
Large city   50
Metropolis   65
Using Followers

The Leadership feat can grant you followers—people loyal to you who assist you if they are able. In the downtime system, followers provide additional Influence or Labor to supplement your activities at no cost to you. This increases the effect of Influence or Labor you spend by 50%, to a maximum of 1 additional Influence or Labor for every 2 followers in the settlement where the downtime activity takes place.

Example: Alice's character has a Leadership score of 10, and 4 of his 5 followers live in Sandpoint. Assistance from her followers can provide a maximum of 2 (1/2 of 4) points of Influence or Labor when she takes downtime actions in Sandpoint. If Alice spends 2 points of Influence or Labor, it counts as 2 × 50% = 3; if she spends 6 points of Influence or Labor, however, it counts as 8, because the maximum increase her 4 followers can provide is 2.

Under certain circumstances, the GM may rule that followers provide less of a benefit than the standard 50% increase. For example, if your followers live in a different settlement and must travel to your location, but bandit activity makes travel risky or they have been away from home for a week or more, the GM might decide that your followers increase the effect of Influence or Labor by only 1 for every 3 followers or even 1 for every 4. Your followers are loyal to you, but they are not slaves and can provide only so much help before they go about their normal lives.
Downtime Phases

The GM tells you when you have downtime available and how many days you can use for downtime. For example, after returning to town after a long adventure, if the GM says you have 10 days before you need to travel to the capital for the princess's coronation ceremony, you may use those 10 days for downtime activities.

You typically have a fair amount of control when it comes to starting and ending a downtime session. With the GM's approval, you may start a downtime session whenever you enter a settlement and end it whenever you leave that settlement. You or your GM might devise downtime activities you can perform only once per downtime session, so the GM may decide that you can't start and end multiple downtime sessions in a row just to allow yourself to perform those activities more than once.

A quick trip into town for basic supplies and rest likely doesn't require a downtime session. If you don't plan to do anything that requires Goods, Influence, Labor, Magic, or spending downtime days, you don't have to start a downtime session to do it.

A downtime session takes place over the following four phases, which make up 1 downtime day.

Phase 1—Upkeep: Pay costs associated with maintaining completed buildings and organizations.

Phase 2—Activity: Perform downtime activities, such as constructing a building, recruiting an organization, or retraining.

Phase 3—Income: Determine how much capital your buildings, organizations, and other activities generate, and sell off assets you no longer want.

Phase 4—Event: Check whether any unusual events occur. Some are beneficial, such as Famous Visitor or Good Fortune. Others are detrimental, such as Fire or Sickness.

These phases always occur in the above order. Each player may start one new downtime activity per day. Which player goes first usually doesn't matter; you may choose to go in initiative order, clockwise from the player to the GM's left, or some other method that works for your group so long as everyone gets a turn each day.
Upkeep Phase

If you have never performed any downtime activities in the settlement where you currently are, skip this phase and proceed to the Activity phase.

During the Upkeep phase, adjust your capital or other game statistics based on what's happened in previous days (whether those days were spent on downtime activities or were normal days). For example, if you have a manager running your tavern, you must pay her wages. If you want to retrain a feat you know (see Retraining on page 188) and are paying in installments, you must pay an installment.

Step 1—Add Up Costs: These costs include ongoing or recurring costs for your buildings, organizations, and other previous downtime activities that have accrued since the last time you have had a downtime session. Most of these costs are incurred daily, whether or not you are spending downtime days at the settlement.

Step 2—Pay Costs: If you cannot pay the costs you've incurred (either with your own capital or by borrowing from another character), you gain no benefit from those downtime activities until the day you do pay.

Step 3—Determine Capital Attrition: For every 7 days you were away from the settlement (whether downtime days or normal days), reduce your Goods, Influence, Labor, and Magic by 1 each (minimum 0). This decrease represents spoilage, theft, allies moving on or having higher priorities, workers finding other employment, and so on.

Step 4—Determine Business Attrition: Business attrition is loss caused by poor morale among employees due to your absence. If a building doesn't generate capital (and therefore isn't a business), skip Step 4. Without any employees to speculate about your absence, there is no chance of mutiny. However, the GM may decide that opportunistic thieves, squatters, monsters, animals, or vermin may move into an abandoned building if you are gone for a long time, requiring you to clear them out if you want to use it again.

Because adventuring is dangerous work, if you're away from a settlement for 30 days or more, you risk losing control of your businesses there as employees begin to wonder whether you're dead. Upon your return, you must attempt a leadership check (1d20 + your Leadership score) against a DC equal to the number of days since you last had contact with that businesses — 10 (so if you've been gone for 30 days, the DC is 20). Having contact with the business requires visiting it personally, sending a qualified representative on your behalf (such as a cohort or manager; see page 88), or sending a formal letter or magical communication (such as dream, sending, or whispering wind); doing so resets your number of days away to 0.

If this leadership check succeeds, the business remains under your control. For each business you've been away from for at least 30 days, you must continue to attempt this leadership check each day until you make contact again.

If you fail, the people running the business in your absence no longer acknowledge you as its owner or leader, and you can't generate any capital from that business. Once you reestablish contact, you may attempt a leadership check (at the same DC as for the check you failed) each day during the Upkeep phase to reaffirm your ownership of the business. If you succeed, the business is yours again and it resumes generating income (although you don't gain any of the income generated from the time you left to when you reasserted control).

If you lose control of a business, you don't deal with events associated with it. However, if you do intervene regarding a detrimental event and either prevent the event from happening or otherwise reverse its effects (such as catching robbers and returning the goods they stole), you gain a +5 bonus on your leadership checks to reaffirm your ownership of that business. This bonus ends once you successfully reaffirm ownership of the business or abandon all claims to it. If you intervene in this way during multiple detrimental events that happen to a business, these bonuses stack.

Example: Laura's character has 9 points of Goods, 10 points of Influence, and 7 points of Labor saved up in Sandpoint, and she owns a shop, a tavern, and a small house. After 40 days of adventuring away from Sandpoint (during which time she didn't try to keep contact with people there), she returns to town. She has no costs for her buildings, so she skips Step 1 and Step 2. Because of her 5 weeks of absence, in Step 3 she reduces each type of her downtime capital by 5, so she now has only 4 points of Goods, 5 points of Influence, and 2 points of Labor saved up in Sandpoint. Because she was gone at least 30 days, in Step 4 she must attempt a leadership check to retain control of her shop and tavern; the DC of this check is 30 (40 days absent — 10). She succeeds at the check for the tavern but fails at the check for the shop, so she loses control of the shop. She can attempt a leadership check each day during the Upkeep phase to try to reclaim the shop. Because her house doesn't generate capital, she doesn't have to make a leadership check for her house, but the GM decides that a bat swarm has made a nest in the attic and Laura's character must get rid of the pests if she wants a peaceful night's sleep.
Activity Phase

During the Activity phase, you declare new downtime activities or continue existing ones. Activities like beginning construction on a new building, continuing construction on an existing building, recruiting for a new organization, crafting magic items, or retraining skill points or a feat occur in this phase. You may also use this phase to take actions that do not require the downtime system.

Step 1—Perform Free Activities: You can perform any activities that don't require downtime days, such as buying gear, selling unwanted magic items, and bartering.

Step 2—Continue Ongoing Downtime Activity: Your first priority is continuing a downtime activity that requires more than 1 day. Depending on the specific requirements of that activity, interrupting it might ruin any progress you've made. Some activities might require only a small bit of your attention and still allow you to perform other downtime activities in this phase.

Step 3—Begin New Downtime Activity: If you aren't continuing an earlier downtime activity, or are continuing one that doesn't restrict you from starting a new activity, you can begin a new downtime activity.

Example: Patrick's character has been crafting a wand of fireball, but had to interrupt the process just short of completion to have a short adventure that didn't give him any time to work on the item. When he returns to town and begins a downtime session, he sells some loot in Step 1 (which doesn't use any downtime days), then proceeds to Step 2. In Step 2, he decides to spend downtime finishing the work on the wand, which takes him 1 day of downtime. The next day, he has no ongoing downtime activities, so he proceeds to Step 3 and starts spending Influence to recruit an Apprentice wizard.
Income Phase

During the Income phase, you generate capital from downtime activities and from buildings and organizations you control.

Step 1—Determine Building Income: Attempt a capital check for each building you control in the settlement that generates income and is able to provide you benefits. Add the results of all of these checks together, then divide by 10 to determine how many gp you earn that day. For example, if your total result is a 47, after dividing it by 10, your earnings come to 4 gp and 7 sp.

If you were away for multiple days, attempt one capital check for each day you were away (if the number of checks is enough to be cumbersome, take 10 on these checks). For every 7 days you've been away from the settlement (whether they were downtime days or not), reduce the total amount of gp earned by 7 and reduce the Goods, Influence, Labor, and Magic earned by 1 each (minimum 0). Add the remaining capital to your character sheet or downtime tracking sheet.

If you were unable to pay the costs for a building in the Upkeep phase, or you lost control of a building because of attrition, you don't collect income for that building.

Step 2—Determine Organization Income: This works exactly like Step 1, but with organizations instead of buildings.

Step 3—Determine Other Income: If any of your other downtime activities generate income (such as using skills to earn capital), you collect that income during this step.

Step 4—Abandon Assets: If you wish to get rid of a building or organization without compensation, you can abandon it during this step. You are no longer the owner of the building or organization and no longer gain any benefits from it, but neither are you obligated to deal with events relating to it. Unlike losing a building or organization because of attrition, this loss is automatic and you can't attempt to reaffirm your ownership.

Step 5—Sell Assets: If you wish to sell a building or organization, you can do so during this step. You can sell a building or organization for half its cost to buy or create (based on either the gp or the Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic listed in the building's cost). There is a 75% chance that it takes you 3d6 days to find a buyer. This delay doesn't require you to spend any downtime days. You can shorten this delay, reducing it by 1d6 days (to a minimum of 0 days) for each 1 point of Influence you spend. You collect the proceeds upon the conclusion of the sale.

You can choose to sell only some of a room's buildings, leaving you in control of the remaining rooms. Any alterations to the building necessary for the sale are included when you make the sale.

Selling an organization is a process of reclaiming assets from your former employees, such as armor or weapons you provided to a Guard team. As with selling buildings, you can choose to liquidate only some of an organization's teams, such as divesting your thieves' guild of its Cutpurse and Acolyte teams.

Example: Laura is ready to determine what her character's buildings earned while she was off adventuring. Her house doesn't generate capital, and neither does her rebellious shop, so in Step 1 she has to deal with only the income from her tavern. The tavern has a +15 modifier on gp capital checks. Instead of making 40 separate checks for the 40 days she was gone, Laura takes 10, giving her a result of 25 on each check, for a total of 2 gp and 5 sp earned each day, then multiplies that amount by 40 to get 100 gp. Because of her 5 weeks of absence, she reduces this amount by 5 × 7 gp (35 gp), leaving her 65 gp in income, which she adds to her character sheet or her downtime tracking sheet. She has no organizations, so she skips Step 2. None of her other activities during this downtime session are generating income, so she skips Step 3. She doesn't want to abandon or sell her house or tavern, and plans to try to regain control of the rebellious shop during the next Upkeep phase, so she decides to not abandon or sell any assets, skipping Step 4 and 5.
Event Phase

During the Event phase, a random event might affect your downtime. This could be a generic event or an event relating specifically to one of your buildings or organizations.

There is a 20% chance each downtime day of an event occurring in a settlement, and the GM then determines (usually randomly) which PC-controlled building is affected. If no event occurred the previous downtime day, the event chance increases by 5% from the day before (maximum 95%). For convenience, the GM may increment the chance of having an event and roll for events only when you are in the settlement, as dealing with events while you are away for long periods creates extra bookkeeping. Once a downtime event occurs, the chance per day of having an event drops to 20% again. See the Downtime Events section, to determine what sort of event occurs.

Some events can be negated, compensated for, or ended with a check. Others require you to complete an adventure or deal with a problem in a way not covered by the downtime rules—in effect, they include a way for the GM to add a little excitement and unpredictability into downtime.

In addition, the GM may have an adventure- or campaign-specific event take place during downtime.

Example: Laura's character spends 5 downtime days in Sandpoint. Because Laura owns buildings there, the GM makes a roll each downtime day on the event table, starting with a 20% chance the first day and increasing by 5% each day. On the fourth day (35% chance of an event), the GM rolls that an event occurs—a bar brawl! The GM decides this event happens while Laura's character is in the tavern, and gives her the opportunity to use her words or fists to put an end to the trouble. Because an event occurred, on the next day the chance of having an event resets to 20%.

邊欄：
休整期與構築王國 Downtime and Kingdom building
休整期系統是一個介於個人計畫（譬如打造一套新裝甲）和大型任務（好比說治理一個王國）之間的中間地帶。這規則銜接了這兩種規模的端口，並且無意完全取代它們。在許多案例，可能甚至會稍微違背第4章的構築王國規則。例如，構築王國規則允許你用1個月建造任何種類的建築，即便是壯麗宏偉的宮殿。但這在休整期系統下會需要更長的時間。這是因為王國的領導者可以花費建造點數調集驚人的資源量並使之實現，而這遠遠超出一名人氣英雄運用金錢和人情所能辦到的。如果你的GM同時使用休整期系統和構築王國規則，並且在如何處理某些情況出現衝突時，由GM決定使用哪種規則，但應該以看起來對任務最適當有效的規則為準。

周末工作 Working Weekends
Pathfinder RPG核心規則書中的〈工藝〉和〈專業〉技能可以讓你每周一次嘗試一項技能檢定，賺取等同檢定結果數值1/2的gp。如果你除以7，你會得到你每日的盈利。然而，這是假設你每週會工作7天，而大多數的人每週會空下2天用來休息和祭祀，所以這是實際上每週只有工作5天的量。將你的檢定結果除以2再除以5等同除以10，這就是為什麼休整期系統要將檢查結果除以10來決定每天能賺取到的gp的原因。你可以每週工作7天（如果你真的需要那額外的2天來賺取資本的話），但即使再強大的冒險者也需要休息1天，古今亦然！

使用資本改善檢定 Spend Capital to Boost Checks
經GM斟酌同意後，你可以藉由花費物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力來影響你在聚落中的任何活動（休整期或其它事）。這給予你極大的靈活性運用休整期資源來完成你所能完成的事。一般而言，每花費1點物資、影響力、勞動力或魔力可以令你在一項技能檢定中獲得+1加值（最多+5）

資本的花費必須是合理地影響該類型的檢定。GM可以決定你對嘗試的檢定所提出的資本運用是否合理。

例如：潔西卡的角色想藉由〈唬弄〉通過守衛進入公爵的城堡，但是她那+0的〈唬弄〉調整值恐怕不足以說服守衛讓她通過。潔西卡告訴GM她願意花5點影響力，提醒守衛她是上個月擊退食人魔入侵的英雄之一，而守衛應該讓她通過，因為公爵想找她談些事情。GM同意潔西卡賣弄她的名人身份是一個善用影響力的好方式，於是允許她花費5點的影響力令她的〈唬弄〉檢定獲得+5加值。

例如：在經過一整天的冒險後，派崔克的角色窩在一間小酒館裏喝酒，這時他的死對頭走了進來並且發現了他。派崔克的法術已經用盡並希望能避免交戰。他告訴GM他站起身面對他的宿敵，並打算花費5點勞動力，讓其他酒館裏的顧客支持他，向對方表明在過去的幾個月裡他已經僱用了許多本地工人，而其中某些人就身在酒館中。GM同意並允許他花費5點勞動力在他的〈威嚇〉檢定中獲得+5加值。

Downtime and Kingdom Building
The downtime system is a middle ground between personal projects (like crafting a new set of armor) and large-scale tasks (like ruling a kingdom). These rules interface with both ends of that scale, and aren't intended to completely replace them. In many cases, they might slightly contradict what is presented in the kingdom-building rules. For example, the kingdom-building rules allow you to construct any type of building in 1 month, even a grand palace, which would take much longer using the downtime system. That is because the leader of a kingdom can spend build points to muster incredible amounts of resources and make things happen, far beyond what even a popular hero can do by spending gold and calling in favors. If your GM is using both the downtime system and the kingdom-building rules and there are conflicts over how to handle a situation, the GM decides which method is used, but should lean toward whichever rules seem most appropriate and efficient for the task.

Working Weekends
The Craft and Profession skills in the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook allow you to attempt a skill check once per week, earning an amount of gp equal to 1/2 your check result. If you were to divide that amount by 7, you'd get your earnings per day. However, that assumes you work 7 days per week, and most people take 2 days off per week for rest and worship, so that's only 5 days of actual work per week. Dividing your check result by 2 and then by 5 is the same as dividing by 10, which is why the downtime system has you divide your check result by 10 to determine gp earned per day. You can work 7 days per week (if you really need the 2 extra days for earning capital), but even mighty adventurers need a day off now and then!

Spend Capital to Boost Checks
At the GM's discretion, you may affect any activity you have in the settlement (downtime or otherwise) by spending Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic. This gives you a lot of leeway in terms of what you can accomplish using downtime resources. In general, every 1 point of Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic spent allows you to add a +1 bonus on one skill check (maximum +5).

The capital spent must reasonably affect that kind of check. The GM decides whether your proposed use of a capital is reasonable for the check you're attempting.

Example: Jessica's character wants to bluff her way past a guard into the duke's castle, but knows that her Bluff modifier of +0 probably isn't enough to convince the guard to let her pass. Jessica tells the GM she wants to spend 5 points of Influence to remind the guard that she's one of the heroes who turned back the ogre invasion last month, and the guard should let her pass because the duke wants to talk to her. The GM agrees that Jessica flaunting her celebrity status is a good use of Influence and allows her to spend 5 points of Influence for a +5 bonus on her Bluff check.

Example: Patrick's character is having a drink in a tavern after a long day adventuring when his nemesis walks in and spots him. Patrick is out of spells and wants to avoid a fight. He tells the GM he stands up to confront his nemesis, and wants to spend 5 points of Labor to have other tavern patrons back him up, pointing out that he has employed many local workers in the past few months and some of them might be in the tavern. The GM agrees and allows him to spend 5 points of Labor for a +5 bonus on his Intimidate check.

休整期

sorry...我打錯了

幕間不錯啊

待機...大家覺得怎麼樣？
可這好像不太妥，如果是日文就沒問題，可在中文裡搞得PC像是電器一樣(咦，好像也沒錯？)

待命時刻、整備時刻……


似乎還是休整期最好。看來是我庸人自擾了。
