[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7682650, member: 2525"] Well the downtime rules allow you to spend downtime days practicing your profession. I think the intent was that you are still at least a part-time "background profession" sometimes. Indeed, the Adventurer's League made me realize I had inadvertently ignored those downtime rules but their actually quite useful as minor rewards and can be applied in interesting ways. For instance I recall one AL adventure let you declare your PCs purpose for going on that adventure at the beginning (To find lost treasure, to seek out lost arcane knowledge, to explore an ancient temple, etc..) and at the end the PCs were allowed to spend X number of downtime days and roll percentage dice in pursuit of that original goal and see what they found with those days. That's not a great example of using your profession, unless your profession relates to one of those activities, but it was a fun example of the downtime rules and their use as a minor reward. Practicing your profession to offset your living costs and make some extra money and a new contact or two is also a good use of downtime days you've earned through adventuring. [/QUOTE]
